SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the execution of all tasks within a software development epic by automatically progressing from one task to the next without manual confirmations, enabling unattended batch work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-continues across tasks: progresses through an epic without user prompts, handling ready tasks and blocking on blockers.
  • Full spec context loading: loads all spec artifacts at task start and after context compaction to ensure alignment.
  • Quality and recovery workflows: includes setup for memory state, validation loops, and completion/blocked handling.

Quick Start

Enable epic auto-mode and let it automatically implement all tasks in the current epic from start to finish.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate all tasks within a software development epic without manual prompts?

Epic automation executes all tasks within a development epic continuously, progressing from one to the next without manual confirmations. It handles ready tasks sequentially and blocks execution only when encountering unresolved blockers.

What is auto-continue for batch epic implementation and when do I need it?

Auto-continue for batch epic implementation is an unattended execution mode for large-scale software tasks. It is needed when manual confirmation for each individual task is infeasible, enabling continuous progression until completion or a block.

How do I ensure spec context is loaded during automated task progression?

Spec context is loaded automatically at task start and after context compaction. This ensures automated epic execution remains fully aligned with the original specifications throughout the continuous progression.

Can I run large-scale epic implementations unattended without losing task state?

Yes, unattended large-scale epic implementations include memory state setup and state-management protocols. These recovery workflows handle validation loops and ensure task state is maintained until the epic is fully complete or blocked.

What happens when an automated task encounters a blocker during epic execution?

When automated task execution encounters a blocker, the system halts progression and triggers blocked handling protocols. This prevents further automated execution until the blocker is resolved and the task is ready.

Do I need manual validation loops for unattended batch task automation?

No, unattended batch task automation includes built-in validation loops and recovery workflows. The system automatically handles quality validation during continuous progression without requiring manual intervention.
