SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps an orchestrator agent understand the current state of a software project, identify ready tasks, and recommend parallel work streams for autonomous agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project Discovery: Analyzes project structure, documentation, and git status.
  • Task State Analysis: Reviews task boards (like Beads) to identify ready and blocked tasks.
  • Dependency Mapping: Determines critical path tasks and independent work.
  • Use Case: Before starting a new development cycle, an orchestrator uses this Skill to get a comprehensive overview of the project's health, current tasks, and potential parallel execution paths, ensuring efficient agent dispatch.

Quick Start

Use the orient skill to survey the current project state and identify parallelizable work.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze project state to find parallelizable work streams for autonomous agents?

To analyze project state for parallelizable work streams, you need to review git repository status, documentation, and task boards. This identifies ready tasks and maps dependencies to determine independent work paths for efficient agent dispatch.

What is the best way to identify ready and blocked tasks before starting a new development cycle?

The best way to identify ready and blocked tasks is by reviewing task boards like Beads. Checking task queue status alongside git history reveals the critical path and highlights which tasks are unblocked for immediate execution.

How does dependency mapping determine critical path tasks for autonomous agent dispatch?

Dependency mapping determines critical path tasks by analyzing git repository structure and task board queues. It isolates independent work streams from sequential ones, ensuring orchestrator agents only execute parallelizable tasks without hitting blockers.

Can I use project orientation tools to assess codebase health and documentation together?

Yes, project orientation tools assess codebase health and documentation together by combining git repository analysis with documentation review. This provides a comprehensive overview of project status, ensuring agents have necessary context before dispatch.

Do I need a task board like Beads to scope independent work streams?

You need a task board like Beads to fully scope independent work streams. While git analysis provides repository context, reviewing the task queue identifies specific ready and blocked tasks required for accurate parallel execution planning.
