Execute implementation tasks directly from design documents. Tasks are managed as markdown checkboxes - no separate session files needed.
Feature Pipeline
Execute implementation tasks directly from design documents. Tasks are managed as markdown checkboxes - no separate session files needed.
Quick Reference
# Get next task
python3 scripts/task_manager.py next --file <design.md>
# Mark task completed
python3 scripts/task_manager.py done --file <design.md> --task "Task Title"
# Mark task failed
python3 scripts/task_manager.py fail --file <design.md> --task "Task Title" --reason "..."
# Show status
python3 scripts/task_manager.py status --file <design.md>
Task Format
Tasks are written as markdown checkboxes in the design document:
## Implementation Tasks
- [ ] **Create User model** `priority:1` `phase:model`
- files: src/models/user.py, tests/models/test_user.py
- [ ] User model has email and password_hash fields
- [ ] Email validation implemented
- [ ] Password hashing uses bcrypt
- [ ] **Implement JWT utils** `priority:2` `phase:model`
- files: src/utils/jwt.py
- [ ] generate_token() creates valid JWT
- [ ] verify_token() validates JWT
- [ ] **Create auth API** `priority:3` `phase:api` `deps:Create User model,Implement JWT utils`
- files: src/api/auth.py
- [ ] POST /register endpoint
- [ ] POST /login endpoint
See references/task-format.md for full format specification.
Execution Loop
LOOP until no tasks remain:
1. GET next task (task_manager.py next)
2. READ task details (files, criteria)
3. IMPLEMENT the task
4. VERIFY acceptance criteria
5. UPDATE status (task_manager.py done/fail)
6. CONTINUE
Unattended Mode Rules
- NO stopping for questions
- NO asking for clarification
- Make autonomous decisions based on codebase patterns
- If blocked, mark as failed and continue
Status Updates
Completed task:
- [x] **Create User model** `priority:1` `phase:model` ✅
- files: src/models/user.py
- [x] User model has email field
- [x] Password hashing implemented
Failed task:
- [x] **Create User model** `priority:1` `phase:model` ❌
- files: src/models/user.py
- [ ] User model has email field
- reason: Missing database configuration
Resume / Recovery
To resume interrupted work, simply run again with the same design file:
/feature-pipeline docs/designs/xxx.md
The task manager will find the first uncompleted task and continue from there.
Integration
This skill is typically triggered after /feature-analyzer completes:
User: /feature-analyzer implement user auth
Claude: [designs feature, generates task list]
Design saved to docs/designs/2026-01-02-user-auth.md
Ready to start implementation?
User: Yes / 开始实现
Claude: [executes tasks via task-execution-engine]
