Automating task execution from a markdown implementation plan involves parsing a tasks.md file to extract phases and dependencies, then executing them sequentially. This Skill reads your plan, applies pre-execution checks, and validates tasks using a TDD-style approach.

Phase-based workflow automation for project planning is the process of sequencing tasks according to a formal plan structure. It parses tasks.md to determine execution phases, reads optional data-model.md and contracts, and provides progress tracking with completion reporting after each phase.

To execute tasks defined in a formal tasks.md plan, run the automation Skill to parse the structure and apply implementation phases in order. It automatically handles pre-execution checks, validates dependencies, and reports progress status throughout the workflow.

Yes, you can use TDD-style validation when automating a project workflow. This Skill integrates test-driven development validation into its phase-based execution, ensuring every task defined in your tasks.md plan is verified and sequenced correctly before moving to the next phase.

For automated plan reading and task execution, you need a project organized with a formal plan containing tasks.md and plan.md files. Optional inputs include data-model.md, contracts directories, and research docs, which the Skill parses to determine phases and dependencies.

Error handling during automated task implementation provides clear remediation steps when execution fails. The Skill tracks progress, reports status after each phase, and identifies specific issues in your tasks.md workflow, ensuring you can resolve errors without losing your place in the plan.
