SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates end-to-end plan execution by reading a root plan and completing sequential sub-plans and tasks, ensuring outputs and handoffs are produced for each step.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Sequential plan execution: Processes sub-plans in alphabetical order and tasks within each sub-plan in roman order.
  • Output-driven progress: Each completed task records concrete Output and a Handoff to the next task.
  • Root plan wrap-up: Updates the root plan status upon completion and provides a concise Plan Summary.
  • Guardrails: Enforces that only the active task files are modified and validates required sections before execution.

Quick Start

Load the root planning plan (docs/planning/phase-<N>/plan.md) and execute the first pending task by following the sub-plan order and roman numerals, recording Output and Handoff after each step.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute a multi-step workflow plan sequentially?

Orchestrate end-to-end plan execution by reading a root plan file and completing sequential sub-plans and tasks in alphabetical and roman numeral order. Outputs and handoffs are produced for each step to ensure structured progress tracking.

What is the best way to automate task orchestration with handoffs between steps?

Automating task orchestration with handoffs is achieved by recording a concrete Output and a Handoff for each completed task. This output-driven approach ensures structured progress tracking and proper context transfer between sequential steps.

How do I start executing a root planning plan from a markdown file?

Load the root planning plan markdown file from docs/planning/phase-<N>/plan.md and execute the first pending task by following the sub-plan order and roman numerals. The system records Output and Handoff after each step to track progress.

Can I modify multiple task files simultaneously during plan execution?

No, plan execution guardrails enforce that only the active task files are modified during execution. The system validates required sections before processing to ensure strict sequential progression through the ordered sub-plans and tasks.

Does plan execution update the root plan status upon completion?

Yes, the root plan status is updated upon completion and a concise Plan Summary is appended when all sub-plans are complete. This ensures the root planning plan reflects the final execution state and overall outcomes.

What happens if a task is missing required sections during workflow execution?

If required sections are missing, execution guardrails prevent the task from proceeding. The system validates task readiness before execution, ensuring only properly structured tasks with required sections are processed and completed.
