SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of launching long-running workflow engine tasks in the background, allowing you to continue interacting with the AI while the workflow executes. It also provides a clear way to monitor the progress and status of these background tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Background Execution: Launches CLI commands for workflow engines without blocking the conversation.
  • Progress Monitoring: Uses dedicated tools (session_status) or file inspection to report on workflow status, active steps, and task completion.
  • Resuming Workflows: Supports resuming paused workflows using session IDs.
  • Use Case: When asked to "implement a complex feature spec", this skill will launch the wrangler-workflow CLI in the background, inform you of the session ID, and allow you to ask for status updates at any time.

Quick Start

Ask me to run the workflow engine CLI command to implement the spec file named 'SPEC-000049-feature.md'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run long-running workflow engine tasks in the background without blocking the AI conversation?▼

Running workflow engine tasks in the background involves launching CLI commands that execute without blocking the conversation. This skill initiates background execution for spec-implementation workflows, allowing you to continue interacting while the process runs.

How do I monitor the progress of a background workflow engine run?▼

To monitor background workflow progress, this skill uses dedicated MCP tools like `session_status` or file inspection. It reports on workflow status, active steps, and task completion using structured reporting from session files.

Can I resume a paused workflow using a session ID?▼

Yes, you can resume paused workflows using session IDs. This skill manages spec-implementation workflows by handling paused or completed states, allowing you to continue execution from where it previously stopped.

What's the best way to automate spec implementation using a workflow engine CLI?▼

Automating spec implementation is best handled by launching the workflow engine CLI in the background via Bash. This skill processes your spec file, provides a session ID for tracking, and handles the entire execution lifecycle automatically.

Do I need specific MCP tools to track background task status and active steps?▼

Yes, tracking background task status requires MCP tools like `session_status` for structured reporting. The skill utilizes these dedicated tools alongside session files to provide clear updates on workflow status and active steps.
