task-spec-loop

You link tasks to PRD and design specs by using tx doc attach to connect paired documents with explicit doc types. This establishes tx as the source of truth and ensures tasks maintain direct references to their attached specs.

Exporting open tasks to Markdown is done using tx md-export, which outputs open items alongside their linked docs for review and handoffs. This operation keeps Ralph-style loops moving without mutating any active state.

Subtasks and dependency edges are created and updated using tx primitives within the task management flow. This maintains coordinated work across agents by explicitly managing dependency edges for ongoing tasks.

No, exporting open work to Markdown does not mutate active task state. The tx md-export operation outputs open items and their linked docs for review while preserving the active state entirely unchanged.

You need to export open tasks for Ralph-style loops when maintaining continuous workflow requires reviewing open items and handing off linked docs. Exporting to Markdown keeps the loop moving without disrupting active state.
