planned under docs/tasks/. - Task Execution: Works through plan lines one commit boundary at a time, routing products to their proper homes and appending spine lines per outcome. - Retroactive Capture & Close: Records work done outside a task, flips status to done or killed, and sweeps for decision records and backlog items. - Use Case: A researcher designing a multi-step experiment says "/task plan"; the Skill interviews them, writes docs/tasks/T-007-experiment.md, gets approval, and commits it before any work begins. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run /task plan to design and file a new numbered research task before starting the work.High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Invoke /task plan and the Skill reads docs/framing.md, searches the backlog and decision records, then interviews you in batches of three questions. It allocates the next T-NNN number, writes a four-field task file with status planned, and commits it after your approval.
The execute mode finds the first unfinished plan line, sets status to active, and works to the next commit boundary. Each outcome gets products routed to their homes, a spine line appended, and one commit with explicit paths before pausing for your confirmation.
Yes, the retroactive mode allocates a T-NNN number and appends spine lines for durable work done in a free-form session. Single-commit outcomes need no file; multi-commit or paused work gets a file written at close with status done.
The close mode flips the status and appends a closing spine line marked done or killed with the outcome. It sweeps the conversation for unrecorded decisions, backlog items, and framing contradictions, then commits the result.
Skip task files for small single-commit work, which the retroactive mode handles with just a spine line. The planning interview scales to the task, so trivial work does not need the full plan-approve-commit cycle.
