SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill creates a Bash-based mechanism to define machine-checkable "done" criteria for a parent task or project phase, enabling automated gates before progression.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated parent-task verification: generate and attach a Bash script that defines "done" criteria for a parent task or project phase.
  • Attachable gating: attach the script to a parent task using tx auto verify set to enforce completion before moving on.
  • Flexible patterns: supports common checks such as all children done, or children done plus tests and type checks.

Quick Start

Create a verification script for a parent task and attach it to that task with tx auto verify set.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate parent task verification in bash for project phases?

You automate parent task verification by creating a Bash script that defines machine-checkable done criteria for a parent task, then attach it using the tx auto verify set command to gate progress before moving on.

What verification patterns can I use to check if child tasks are done?

You can use verification patterns to check if all child tasks are done, or if child tasks are done with tests and type checks passing. These flexible patterns attach to parent tasks to gate progress before moving on.

Can I attach automated verification gates to existing parent tasks in TX workflows?

Yes, you can attach automated verification gates to existing parent tasks in TX workflows by applying a Bash script via the tx auto verify set command, enforcing completion before moving on.

Do I need any external dependencies to set up bash verification scripts for task management?

No external dependencies are required to set up bash verification scripts for task management. The mechanism relies solely on Bash to define machine-checkable done criteria for parent tasks.

Why use automated gating instead of manual checks for parent task completion?

Automated gating prevents progression before a parent task meets machine-checkable done criteria, eliminating human error from manual checks and ensuring tests and type checks pass before moving on.
