SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Developers often waste time manually gathering workflow guides, project specifications, git status, and active tasks before an AI assistant can start helping effectively. This Skill automates that context collection and prepares the AI to understand the current development environment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context Loading: Reads .trellis/workflow.md, developer identity, git status, and guideline indexes to build a complete session picture.
  • Task Classification & Routing: Analyzes user-described tasks and directs them to brainstorm, direct edit, or the full task workflow automatically.
  • Session Management: Ideal for starting a new coding session, resuming an interrupted one, beginning a new task, or re-establishing project context.

Quick Start

Invoke the start skill to set up context and prompt the AI for the next task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize an AI development session with git status and workflow context?

Initializing an AI development session requires loading workflow guides, developer identity, git status, and project guidelines. This context collection prepares the AI to understand your current development environment and active tasks.

What's the best way to load project context for an AI assistant before coding?

Loading project context involves reading `.trellis/workflow.md`, developer identity, git status, and guideline indexes. This builds a complete session picture, automating context collection so the AI can assist effectively without manual setup.

Can AI automatically route coding tasks to brainstorm, direct edit, or structured workflows?

AI task classification analyzes user-described tasks and directs them to brainstorm, direct edit, or the full task workflow automatically. This routing happens within the `.trellis` environment based on the task requirements.

When do I need to load development context for resuming an interrupted coding session?

You need comprehensive context loading when resuming an interrupted coding session, starting a new task, or switching tasks. This re-establishes project context, ensuring the AI assistant understands the current development environment.

Does this AI session initialization work without manually gathering project specifications?

Session initialization works by automating context collection, eliminating the need to manually gather workflow guides, project specifications, git status, and active tasks. The AI reads these directly to build a complete session picture.

What is task classification and routing within the .trellis environment?

Task classification and routing within the `.trellis` environment is the process of analyzing user-described tasks and automatically directing them to brainstorm, direct edit, or structured task workflows based on their requirements.
