SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Task work often drains cognitive load and risks misalignment across lifecycle stages. This skill provides a structured workflow to verify, start, note, submit, create PR, and complete tasks within kspec, ensuring accountability and traceability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end task lifecycle management from ready to complete, with inherited context and formal states.
  • Enforced verification and notes capture to preserve decisions and progress.
  • PR handling flow integration and structured completion after merge in collaborative development.

Quick Start

Start a workflow session for a task using kspec workflow start and then fetch the next task with kspec workflow next

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage task lifecycle states from start to pull request?

Task lifecycle management automates the progression from ready to in_progress, pending_review, and completed states. It coordinates task start, notes capture, submission, and pull request creation to ensure consistent workflows and full auditability.

What is the best way to verify task work before submitting a pull request?

Task verification before submission enforces deterministic guidance for task states, validating completed work before allowing a pull request. This structured verification step preserves accountability and ensures progress aligns with project requirements.

How does task workflow note capture work for software engineering projects?

Task workflow note capture records decisions and progress during the in_progress state. It automatically associates notes and commit trailers with the specific task, preserving context and ensuring traceability across the entire engineering project.

Can I integrate pull request creation directly into my task tracking workflow?

Pull request creation integrates directly into the task tracking workflow. After task verification and submission, the workflow handles PR creation and manages structured completion automatically after the PR is merged in collaborative development.

Does kspec workflow support task management for collaborative software engineering?

Kspec workflow supports collaborative software engineering by orchestrating end-to-end task lifecycles. It manages inherited context across formal states, enforces notes capture for decisions, and integrates PR handling for team development.

Why does my task workflow require notes before pull request submission?

Task workflows require notes before pull request submission to preserve decisions and progress context. This enforced notes capture reduces cognitive load, prevents misalignment across lifecycle stages, and maintains strict accountability and traceability.
