SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the implementation and planning of work, streamlining workflows by automating repetitive tasks and ensuring that work is completed efficiently.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Work Definition Implementation: Automates the process of starting and implementing work definitions.
  • Sequential or Parallel Execution: Handles work in a sequential or parallel manner based on user preferences and system resources.
  • Dependency Resolution: Resolves dependencies between work definitions to ensure that tasks are completed in the correct order.
  • Use Case: Imagine you have a group of tasks to be completed. Use this Skill to automatically select and implement the highest-value tasks, keeping track of their progress and ensuring that dependencies are met.

Quick Start

To start implementing work definitions, use the 'work-start' skill with the following format: work-start "<group-slug>" [WD-nn | next | all | --parallel [N]] [--nested].

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate work execution and resolve task dependencies automatically?

Automate work execution by using a skill that resolves task dependencies, selects the next ready task, and dispatches sub-agents for sequential or parallel implementation. It evaluates task readiness to ensure correct completion order.

What is the best way to run work definitions in parallel?

Run work definitions in parallel by passing the parallel flag with a concurrency limit. The system dispatches sub-agents concurrently up to that limit, managing system resources while executing work definitions.

Do I need sub-agent tools to automate work planning and implementation?

Yes, sub-agent tools are required to automate work planning and implementation. The system dispatches sub-agents specifically to handle validation, planning, testing, and implementation tasks during work execution.

How do I start implementing a specific work definition from a group?

Start implementing a specific work definition by invoking the start command with your group slug and the work definition identifier. The system selects and implements that exact task while ensuring dependencies are resolved.

Can I automate the selection of the highest-value tasks for work planning?

Yes, you can automate task selection for work planning by using the automatic selection mode. The system identifies and implements the highest-value ready tasks, tracking progress and ensuring all dependencies are met.
