SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automate end-to-end task lifecycles by defining, refining, implementing, and reviewing tasks with automated gates and intelligent discovery. This reduces manual handoffs and ensures predictable progress across teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • State-based Task Lifecycle: transitions between toRefine, toImplement, toReview, and done with automatic checks and reminders.
  • Quality Gates: built-in linting, type-checking, build, and tests integrated into implement and review workflows.
  • Intelligent Discovery: auto-detects framework candidates and task context to route work appropriately.
  • Use Case: A team creates TASK-001, TASK-002, and TASK-003. The Skill assigns IDs, refines the description, generates implementation specs, and tracks status across all states.

Quick Start

Example: Define a new task with "define task: add user authentication" to create TASK-001 in [toRefine], then run the refine workflow to interview requirements, followed by implement and review using the cookbook patterns.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate task workflows from definition through review?

Task Workflow Manager automates end-to-end task lifecycles by orchestrating state-based transitions from task definition through refinement, implementation, and review. It assigns unique IDs, applies quality gates (lint, type-check, build, tests), and tracks progress across all stages automatically.

Can I use automated quality gates like linting and type-checking in my build workflow?

Yes. The Skill integrates built-in linting, type-checking, build, and test gates directly into implement and review workflows, ensuring quality checks run automatically at each state transition.

How does framework auto-detection help organize tasks?

Framework auto-detection identifies your project's framework candidates and routes task work appropriately, reducing manual discovery effort and ensuring tasks follow framework-specific patterns and conventions.

What structured process does the Skill use to move tasks from definition to completion?

Tasks transition through four states—toRefine, toImplement, toReview, and done—with automatic checks and reminders at each stage. The Skill generates task IDs, guides refinement through interviews, generates implementation specs, and tracks status end-to-end.

Can I use this for both software development and project management workflows?

Yes. The Skill applies to software development and project-management workflows requiring structured task discovery, automatic ID generation, framework detection, and cookbook-guided execution across generic and framework-specific patterns.

What happens if a task fails quality gates during implementation or review?

The Skill enforces quality gates (linting, type-checking, build, tests) at implement and review stages. Tasks that fail these checks receive automatic reminders and cannot advance until gates pass, ensuring predictable progress.
