SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the process of archiving completed or superseded tasks, ensuring a clean workspace and maintaining a historical record with unique identifiers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Archiving: Moves TASK.md files to a dedicated archive directory (docs/tasks/) based on specific conditions.
  • ID Generation & Management: Ensures tasks have unique IDs and filenames, preventing conflicts and aiding traceability.
  • Use Case: When you finish a coding task and start a new one, this skill automatically saves the old TASK.md with a proper archive name (e.g., task-033-login-flow.md) before you begin the new one.

Quick Start

Use the skill-archive-task to archive the current task if a new task is being started.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate archiving task documentation when starting a new workflow?

Automating task documentation archiving moves your current `TASK.md` file to a dedicated `docs/tasks/` directory with a unique filename. This prevents data loss by saving completed tasks before new ones begin.

How does unique task ID generation work for archived markdown files?

Unique task ID generation assigns identifiers and slugs to create filenames like `task-033-login-flow.md`. It manages ID updates within the file to ensure historical traceability and prevent naming conflicts in the archive directory.

What is the best way to maintain a clean workspace and historical record of completed coding tasks?

Maintaining a clean workspace involves triggering automated file relocation to move completed task files into an archive. This validates successful file transfers and ensures superseded tasks are preserved with unique identifiers.

Do I need any dependencies to automate task archiving in my documentation workflow?

No dependencies are required to automate task archiving in your documentation workflow. The process runs standalone to manage file relocation, task ID updates, and slug generation without external packages.

Why does task archiving fail or leave files misplaced in the directory structure?

Task archiving issues occur when file relocation validation fails or the target `docs/tasks/` directory is inaccessible. The process validates successful file transfers to prevent data loss and maintain historical integrity.

Can I use file management automation to prevent data loss when superseding task markdown files?

Yes, file management automation prevents data loss when superseding task markdown files by moving them to an archive directory. It ensures historical integrity by validating the relocation and applying unique task IDs.
