SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Import Ring pre-dev artifacts into optimus format. Reads task specs and subtasks, creates optimus-tasks.md with TaskSpec column linking to Ring source. Re-runnable — only imports what's new. Never deletes original files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Incrementally imports Ring pre-dev task specs into an Optimus tracking file without duplicating data
  • Generates TaskSpec links to Ring sources to preserve provenance
  • Maintains Ring pre-dev artifacts, enabling safe migration while supporting plan/import workflows

Quick Start

Run the import to transform Ring pre-dev artifacts into an Optimus task tracker and review the generated optimus-tasks.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate Ring pre-dev tasks into an Optimus tracking format?

To migrate Ring pre-dev tasks into an Optimus tracking format, run an import process that generates an optimus-tasks.md file with TaskSpec links to Ring sources. It safely transfers task data while preserving provenance.

Can I incrementally import Ring pre-dev artifacts without duplicating data?

Yes, you can incrementally import Ring pre-dev artifacts without duplicating data. The import process is re-runnable and identifies new task specs to append, ensuring existing imported tasks are not duplicated in the optimus-tasks.md tracker.

Does importing task specs into Optimus delete or modify the original Ring files?

Importing task specs into Optimus does not delete or modify original Ring files. The process preserves Ring pre-dev artifacts completely, enabling a safe migration workflow while maintaining the original source data for reference.

How does Optimus track versions and dependencies when importing pre-dev tasks?

Optimus tracks versions and dependencies during import by integrating with existing optimus data and state management. This mechanism supports version selection and optional task spec resolution to accurately map pre-dev task relationships.

What is the best way to re-run a pre-dev task pipeline import for new artifacts only?

The best way to re-run a pre-dev task pipeline import for new artifacts only is to execute the import workflow again. It automatically detects and imports only what is new, safely updating your optimus-tasks.md file without user intervention for duplicates.
