SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents important work from being invisible by forcing every meaningful deliverable to be registered as a tracked task with lifecycle states and optional human approvals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task lifecycle tracking: Create tasks before work, mark them in progress, and complete them with a result summary for dashboard visibility.
  • Blocking and delegation: Move tasks to blocked with a reason or assign human-needed actions to the right person.
  • Approval gating for external actions: Enforce a review step for tasks marked as needing approval (e.g., emails, merges, deployments, public announcements).

Quick Start

Create a new task for your next deliverable with a clear title, description, and (if needed) an assignee, then update its status as you work.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track task lifecycle states for agent coordination and workflow orchestration?

Task lifecycle tracking registers every deliverable as a tracked task with visible states. You create tasks before work begins, mark them in progress, and complete them with a result summary for dashboard visibility.

What is approval gating for external actions in workflow orchestration?

Approval gating for external actions enforces a mandatory human review step before tasks like emails, merges, deployments, or public announcements proceed. This prevents unreviewed agent coordination actions from executing externally.

How do I handle blocked tasks and delegate human-needed actions during progress tracking?

Progress tracking handles blocked tasks by moving them to a blocked state with a specific reason. You can also assign human-needed actions to the right person, ensuring delegation within the task lifecycle workflow.

Can I log KPIs and task completion events for dashboard visibility?

Yes, you can log KPIs and events such as task_completed for dashboard visibility. Event logging records task lifecycle state transitions and completion summaries, ensuring meaningful work remains trackable and actionable.

What's the best way to enforce task creation before work begins for research and builds?

The best way to enforce task creation before work begins is registering every meaningful deliverable as a tracked task. This applies to research, drafting, builds, deployments, and approval-gated external actions within the lifecycle workflow.
