SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates verification of the current task within a loop and emits a standardized completion marker to signal the stop-hook to exit the session gracefully.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read the active loop pointer and confirm the loop type (task-loop)
  • Load the relevant task prompt from the planning data and delegate verification to a verifier
  • Emit completion markers (VERIFIED, INCOMPLETE, BLOCKED) and perform cleanup to avoid stale loops

Quick Start

Run the task-loop-verify skill to confirm the current task state and emit a completion marker.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate task verification and signal loop termination in an automated workflow?

Loop state verification works by reading the active loop pointer, confirming the loop type, loading the relevant task prompt from planning data, and delegating verification to a verifier agent. It outputs standardized completion markers to signal the stop-hook to exit the session gracefully.

What completion markers are emitted when verifying a task in a loop?

Task loop verification emits VERIFIED, INCOMPLETE, and BLOCKED markers to signal the stop-hook to exit the session gracefully. State cleanup runs after marker emission to prevent stale loops.

Do I need a TASKS.json file to verify the current task in the loop?

Yes, verifying the current task in a loop requires a TASKS.json file to load the relevant task prompt from planning data. The skill delegates verification to a task-verifier agent and emits completion markers based on that prompt.

How do I prevent stale loops during task-loop verification?

Task-loop verification prevents stale loops by performing state cleanup after emitting completion markers. This ensures the loop session exits gracefully via the stop-hook once the task is verified, incomplete, or blocked.

Can I use a task-verifier agent to confirm loop state and emit a completion marker?

Yes, task-loop verification delegates confirmation to a task-verifier agent. The skill reads the loop state, loads the task prompt from TASKS.json, delegates verification to the agent, and emits a standardized completion marker with state cleanup.
