SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of manually tracking task progress by generating a consistent kanban view from task files while keeping source task records unchanged.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task State Analysis: Scans TASK files, derives ready, blocked, needs_info, stalled, and completed states, and identifies dependency relationships.
  • Priority-Based Board Generation: Calculates critical-path scores for ready tasks and produces an actionable board ordered by impact.
  • Safe Read-Only Workflow: Refreshes the task dashboard without modifying task cards, launching agents, or invoking other workflows.
  • Use Case: A development team can use this Skill after task updates to regenerate a current implementation board and identify the next highest-impact work item.

Quick Start

Use the sort-task skill to refresh the current kanban board and show the latest task status overview.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a kanban task board from task files without modifying them?

To generate a kanban task board safely, you need a read-only scanning process that analyzes task files to derive workflow states and visualize progress. This approach refreshes your task dashboard by calculating dependencies and priority scores without altering source task definitions.

What is the best way to track task dependencies and identify blocked tasks?

The best way to track task dependencies is by scanning task files to resolve relationships and calculate derived states like blocked, stalled, or ready. This dependency resolution identifies which tasks are waiting on others, ensuring your software delivery workflow remains unblocked.

How does priority scoring work for software delivery tasks?

Priority scoring works by calculating critical-path scores for ready tasks within your software delivery workflow. It evaluates task dependencies and derived states to produce an actionable board ordered by impact, highlighting the next highest-impact work item for the development team.

Can I use this task management approach without launching agents or invoking other workflows?

Yes, you can use a safe read-only workflow to refresh task tracking boards without launching agents or invoking other workflows. This method performs read-only task scanning and board rendering independently, ensuring no side effects on your existing software delivery environment.

When do I need to refresh a kanban board for progress visibility?

You need to refresh a kanban board after task updates to regenerate a current implementation board and identify the next highest-impact work item. This ensures progress visibility and accurate workflow states, keeping your software delivery tracking consistent with the latest task file changes.

Why does my task board show a stalled state for ready tasks?

A task board shows a stalled state when dependency resolution identifies unmet prerequisites or missing information for ready tasks. By calculating derived workflow states and critical-path scores, the system distinguishes between tasks that are actively ready and those requiring intervention.
