SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Navigates to the next task in chronological order, returning the next older task's ID based on the created_at timestamp.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Sequential navigation: move to the next task in a time-ordered task list.
  • Workflow compatibility: ideal for plan progression, task chaining, and automated progress tracking.
  • Example scenario: given a current task ID, retrieve the next task's ID to continue a multi-step workflow.

Quick Start

Ask the system to fetch the next task after a given ID from the tasks directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I navigate to the next task in chronological order?

To navigate to the next task in chronological order, provide a current task ID from your tasks dataset. The system selects the next oldest task using the created_at timestamp and returns its ID.

How does sequential task progression work for automated workflows?

Sequential task progression works by chaining tasks through their created_at timestamps. Given a current task ID, the system retrieves the next older task's ID to continue a multi-step workflow automatically.

Can I use this for task chaining in plan progression without extra dependencies?

Yes, you can use this for task chaining and plan progression without extra dependencies. It operates on timestamped tasks within a dataset to retrieve the next chronological ID.

What is the best way to fetch the next task after a given ID?

The best way to fetch the next task after a given ID is to request the system to navigate your timestamped tasks directory. It identifies the next oldest task by created_at time and outputs the ID.

Why does task navigation require a created_at timestamp?

Task navigation requires a created_at timestamp because the system determines chronological ordering by comparing these timestamps. It selects the next oldest task relative to the current ID to ensure sequential workflow progression.
