SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create a bounded, single-purpose task and execute it with TDD. Appends a row to TASKS.md, writes a task file at plans/tasks/task-N-<slug>.md, and runs a write-test → implement → verify loop. Use for small to medium items that are too concrete for /brainstorm and too small to justify the full /sdlc pipeline. Invoke via /task or when the user asks to "just do X" with a clear, bounded ask.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Appends a row to TASKS.md, updates the Active / Pending section with the new task
  • Writes a concrete plan file at plans/tasks/task-N-<slug>.md
  • Executes a write-test → implement → verify loop for rapid feedback
  • Invoked via /task or natural-language prompts like "just do X" with a defined scope

Quick Start

Describe a bounded task and trigger it with /task to start the write-test → implement → verify loop.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a bounded coding task with a TDD workflow?

Automating a bounded coding task with TDD involves running a write-test, implement, and verify loop. This approach appends a row to TASKS.md, generates a plan file, and iterates quickly using lightweight test-driven development for small to medium requests.

When should I use a lightweight test-driven workflow instead of a full SDLC pipeline?

Use a lightweight test-driven workflow for small to medium tasks that are too concrete for brainstorming but too small to justify a full SDLC pipeline. It executes a rapid write-test, implement, and verify loop for bounded requests with clear input.

How do I track task records and generate plan files for quick coding asks?

Tracking task records and generating plan files requires appending a row to TASKS.md and writing a concrete plan at plans/tasks/task-N-slug.md. This updates Active and Pending sections, maintaining a consistent task structure for rapid iteration.

Can I trigger task automation and planning using natural language prompts?

Triggering task automation with natural language is possible by prompting "just do X" with a defined scope. This initiates the write-test, implement, and verify loop, applying test-driven development to bounded asks without requiring complex commands.

What are the limitations of automating tasks with a lightweight TDD lifecycle?

Limitations of automating tasks with a lightweight TDD lifecycle include requiring clear user input and a consistent task structure. It is not suitable for vague requests or large-scale items that need the comprehensive tracking of a full SDLC pipeline.
