phase-task-verification

Branch verification ensures each task's work is properly staged in git before downstream operations. This Skill automatically creates and verifies git-spice branches, checking HEAD positioning based on execution mode—verifying branch checkout in sequential mode and detaching HEAD in parallel mode—to prevent lost work and silent failures.

Sequential mode verifies HEAD against the expected branch after task completion, ensuring the correct branch is checked out. Parallel mode detaches HEAD to isolate task work. This Skill applies mode-specific logic to both, using RUN_ID, TASK_ID, and MODE to handle each correctly.

Yes. This Skill identifies and escalates git operation failures—including git add errors, branch creation failures, and repository state issues—before they cascade downstream, preventing silent failures in complex automation workflows.

This Skill creates git-spice branches and stages changes automatically across sequential task execution. It validates branch naming, handles git add operations, and verifies HEAD positioning, so each task's work integrates cleanly without manual git commands.

Provide RUN_ID, TASK_ID, TASK_NAME, COMMIT_MESSAGE, and MODE. The Skill uses these to create appropriately named branches, stage changes with the correct commit message, and apply the correct verification logic for your execution context.

Yes. The Skill handles standard git repository operations—branch creation, staging, and HEAD verification—and detects repository state errors, making it compatible with existing workflows that need reliable branch management across task automation.
