SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the execution of tasks from a prioritized backlog, ensuring continuous progress on work items and maintaining state integrity throughout the process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Task Execution: Selects and runs the next actionable item from a configured backend.
  • Quality Gates: Enforces validation and TDD phases before and after execution.
  • State Management: Continuously updates item status (in progress, blocked, completed) in the backend.
  • Use Case: When a user requests to continue working on a project, this skill picks up the next task, runs it through necessary checks, and updates its status, seamlessly moving the project forward.

Quick Start

Use the run-work-items skill to execute the next actionable item from the configured backend.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate task execution from a prioritized backlog?

Automating task execution from a prioritized backlog requires a tool that selects the next actionable item, enforces quality gates, and updates item state. This skill executes queued work items while managing their status throughout the development workflow.

What is the best way to enforce TDD phases during automated work item execution?

To enforce TDD phases during automated work item execution, you need a system that applies validation before and after running tasks. This skill supports iterative development by integrating TDD phases directly into the task progression workflow.

Do I need a persisted tracking configuration to run work items automatically?

Yes, you need a persisted tracking configuration to run work items automatically. The skill requires a configured backend to fetch prioritized tasks, execute them, and continuously update their status as they progress through quality gates.

How does state management work when executing development tasks continuously?

State management during continuous task execution involves updating item status to in progress, blocked, or completed in the backend. This skill maintains state integrity by continuously syncing work item status as it enforces validation and progression.

Can I use quality gates to validate tasks before and after execution?

Yes, you can use quality gates to validate tasks before and after execution. This skill enforces validation checks and TDD phases around each work item, ensuring code quality and task completeness before updating the backend status.
