SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill centralizes task management by querying and manipulating task YAML files across feature directories and the global task pool, reducing manual coordination and errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centered task discovery: list, next-ready, and status summaries across per-feature and global task files.
  • Dependency-aware planning: reveal which tasks are blocked by dependencies and visualize hierarchies to guide decomposition.
  • Workflow integration: acts as a thin, deterministic wrapper around the tasks.py CLI for build, decompose, implement, and task state management.

Quick Start

List all tasks with their IDs using the tasks.py CLI to observe current work items.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage project tasks and dependencies using YAML files?

You can manage project tasks and dependencies using YAML files by querying and manipulating task definitions across feature directories to centralize tracking and reduce manual coordination errors.

What is the best way to track blocked tasks and visualize dependency hierarchies?

The best way to track blocked tasks and visualize dependency hierarchies is to use dependency-aware planning that reveals blocked items and visualizes task structures to guide project decomposition.

How do I list all current work items and their IDs in a local repo workflow?

You list all current work items and their IDs in a local repo workflow by running the tasks.py CLI, which provides task discovery and status summaries across per-feature and global task files.

Does this task tracking approach support sprint management and roadmap decomposition?

Yes, this task tracking approach supports sprint management and roadmap decomposition by applying dependency resolution and state management to ongoing sprints and local repository workflows.

Can I validate YAML schemas for task management through CLI commands?

Yes, you can validate YAML schemas for task management through CLI commands, acting as a deterministic wrapper for build, decompose, implement, and task state management operations.

Why are my task dependencies not resolving correctly across feature directories?

Task dependencies fail to resolve correctly across feature directories when YAML schemas are invalid or when the tasks.py CLI cannot read the global task pool and per-feature files properly.
