SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires Serena.

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates Shannon's complete end-to-end workflow (prime → spec → wave) in a single automated command. It eliminates manual coordination, ensures proper sequencing, and provides validation gates with interactive prompts and automation options.

Core Features & Use Cases

End-to-end automation: Prime → Spec → Wave in one command.
Validation gates: Interactive prompts with gating options such as --auto and --plan-only for different levels of automation.
Deterministic planning: Validates input before execution and gracefully handles errors.

Quick Start

Run Shannon's task workflow with a full task specification, e.g.: /shannon:task "Build REST API with authentication and CRUD operations for users and tasks"

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate Shannon's complete workflow from specification to execution in one command?▼

Task-automation orchestrates Shannon's end-to-end workflow (prime → spec → wave) in a single command. Provide a complete task specification and run /shannon:task to execute the full pipeline with validation gates, complexity analysis, and interactive prompts or --auto for full automation.

What does task orchestration mean and why use it instead of manual workflow steps?▼

Task orchestration automates the sequencing and coordination of multi-step workflows. It eliminates manual handoffs, ensures deterministic execution order, applies validation at each gate, and provides error handling and recovery—reducing coordination overhead and human error in complex pipelines.

Can I run a full workflow without interactive prompts using task automation?▼

Yes. Use the --auto flag to execute Shannon's complete workflow fully automated without stopping for prompts. Use --plan-only to estimate timeline and resource requirements without executing waves, giving you flexibility between interactive validation and hands-off execution.

What dependencies does task orchestration require before I can run a workflow?▼

Task-automation requires Serena as a core dependency and verifies Sequential and Puppeteer MCPs during session preparation. Your task specification must be complete; the Skill validates input before execution and provides deterministic planning with graceful error handling.

Does task automation provide planning and cost estimation before execution?▼

Yes. Specification analysis outputs include complexity scoring, domain breakdown, execution strategy, recommended wave sequence, and timeline estimates. Use --plan-only to review the plan without running waves, enabling informed decisions on scope and resource allocation.
