SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of losing context on incidental work, technical debt, or follow-up tasks discovered during active development by providing a structured, repo-native capture and execution loop.

Core Features & Use Cases

Task Capture: Easily log incidental work, tech debt, or test gaps as structured markdown tasks directly within the repository.
Automated Execution: Automatically claim, implement, and open pull requests for tasks using integrated handlers like repo-pr, Jira, Linear, or GitHub Issues.
Workflow Integration: Use this to manage the lifecycle of tasks from discovery to completion, including dependency tracking and automated Kanban status updates.

Quick Start

Use the task skill to add a new follow-up task for the current code changes and automatically assign it to the backlog.

FAQPage Schema

How do I capture technical debt and follow-up tasks discovered during active development?▼

Capture technical debt by logging incidental work as structured markdown files directly within the repository. This provides a repo-native execution loop to manage the lifecycle of follow-up tasks from discovery to completion without losing context.

Can I automate pull request generation for issue tracking tasks in my repository?▼

Yes, you can automate pull request generation by configuring integrated task handlers. The system automatically claims, implements, and opens pull requests for tasks using handlers like repo-pr, Jira, Linear, or GitHub Issues.

Does this task management workflow support automated Kanban status updates?▼

Yes, the workflow supports automated Kanban status updates. It manages the task lifecycle from discovery to completion, including dependency tracking and automated status updates across integrated project management platforms.

How do I ensure consistent workflow throughput when processing repository-native markdown tasks?▼

Ensure consistent workflow throughput by adhering to Fibonacci-based sizing for your tasks. This requires configuring task handlers and applying consistent sizing to maintain steady processing across your development workflow.

What is the best way to manage incidental development tasks without losing context?▼

The best way to manage incidental development tasks is using a structured, repo-native capture and execution loop. This system integrates with issue trackers and markdown files to track test gaps and technical debt directly alongside your code.

Do I need to configure task handlers before using the automated task claiming features?▼

Yes, configuring task handlers is required before using automated task claiming and execution. You must set up handlers like repo-pr or issue trackers to enable the system to automatically claim, implement, and open pull requests.
