SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the friction of starting or resuming development by automatically gathering repository context, developer identity, git status, active tasks, and applicable project guidelines so the AI can work with accurate, project-specific information from the first step.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context Initialization: Reads .trellis workflow guides, spec indexes, and runs get_context to collect developer identity, git state, and active tasks.
  • Task Classification & Routing: Classifies incoming requests as questions, trivial fixes, simple tasks, or complex tasks and routes them to direct edit, task workflow, or brainstorm workflows accordingly.
  • Task Workflow Orchestration: Creates task directories, writes PRDs, runs research passes, injects spec contexts for implement/check phases, activates tasks, and enforces a research-then-implement quality loop.
  • Use Case: Use this when starting a coding session, resuming interrupted work, or when you need the AI to understand project conventions and correctly scope a change before implementing it.

Quick Start

Start a session by initializing project context, reading workflow and spec indexes, gathering git and task status, and classifying the current task for the appropriate workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize project context when starting a new coding session?

To initialize project context, the Skill reads .trellis workflow guides, gathers developer identity, git status, and active tasks via get_context, ensuring the AI works with accurate, project-specific information from the first step. This eliminates friction when starting or resuming development work.

How does task classification route incoming development requests?

Task classification evaluates incoming requests to categorize them as questions, trivial fixes, simple tasks, or complex tasks. It then automatically routes the work to direct edit, task workflow, or brainstorm workflows based on the identified complexity and scope.

What is the best way to automate task workflow orchestration for complex development tasks?

Task workflow orchestration automates complex development tasks by creating task directories, writing PRDs, running research passes, and activating tasks. It enforces a research-then-implement quality loop while injecting spec contexts for implement and check phases.

Does this workflow tooling require a specific repository setup to function?

Yes, this tooling requires repositories that use .trellis workflow and task tooling. It reads workflow guides, spec indexes, and gathers git and task context specifically from this structure to correctly scope changes before implementation.

Why does my AI development session lack project conventions and accurate scoping?

Your session lacks project conventions because context was not properly initialized. By reading .trellis spec files, gathering git state, and classifying the current task, the AI understands project conventions and correctly scopes a change before implementing it.

Can I resume interrupted development work and keep the previous task context?

Yes, you can resume interrupted work by initializing project context and reading workflow and spec indexes. The system gathers git and task status, allowing the AI to understand previous project conventions and correctly scope the remaining changes.
