What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps development teams quickly scaffold and track tasks after plan approval. It initializes folders and files, updates the backlog, and keeps progress notes synchronized to reduce setup time and confusion.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Task scaffolding: Creates a new task directory (TASK-###) with a context hub to capture origin, status, decisions, and session logs.
- Backlog integration: Registers tasks in the Meridian backlog so planning and execution stay aligned.
- Progress tracking: Maintains a chronological history of work and decisions to support audits and knowledge transfer.
Quick Start
Run the task-manager script to create a new task after plan approval:
python3 .claude/skills/task-manager/scripts/create-task.py
The script auto-detects the project root by locating both .claude/ and .meridian/ and then creates .meridian/tasks/TASK-###/ with TASK-###-context.md. After creation, review and populate the context to record origin, decisions, and next steps.
