Agent Skills: task - Planning Stage

Create task documents for new features, updates, or fixes. Creates detailed specs in docs/task/*.md with full implementation context. Updates TASKS.md for tracking. Use when starting any new work.

Skill Metadata

Name
task
Description
Use this skill when the user wants to plan a new feature, bug fix, enhancement, documentation update, or chore before implementation. Creates or updates a reviewed task document in docs/task/ and updates TASKS.md, then stops for human approval.

task - Planning Stage

Invariants

  • Create or update the task document only.
  • Do not implement code.
  • Do not start automation from planning.
  • Stop after updating TASKS.md and tell the user the task is ready for review.

Runtime adapters may expose this stage as a slash command, menu action, or natural-language skill invocation. The portable stage name is task.

Workflow

  1. Read AGENTS.md.
  2. Read LEARNINGS.md if it exists.
  3. Clarify the request only where missing information changes scope, risk, or acceptance criteria.
  4. Perform targeted codebase research for files directly relevant to the task.
  5. Choose a recommended execution tier.
  6. Create or update docs/task/{ID}-{task-name}.md using docs/templates/task-document.md.
  7. Add or update the task in TASKS.md under Planned.
  8. Stop for user review and approval.

Execution Tier Guidance

Use Recommended Tier in the task document:

| Tier | Use When | |------|----------| | fast | Small, low-risk changes that follow existing patterns. | | balanced | Normal feature work, moderate refactors, or changes across several files. | | deep | Architecture, security, data model, migration, high-risk refactor, or ambiguous requirements. |

The tier is guidance for downstream agents. Runtime adapters define how, or whether, tiers map to models or reasoning settings.

Task Document Requirements

The task document must include:

  • clear overview and requirements
  • explicit out-of-scope or must-not-change boundaries
  • proposed file changes
  • focused code context for files the implementation stage should read
  • implementation steps
  • acceptance criteria
  • verification commands or approach
  • compatibility touchpoints for packaging, docs, adapters, or install surface when relevant

Embed concise code excerpts or notes in Code Context; do not paste entire unrelated files.

TASKS.md Update

If TASKS.md does not exist, create it from docs/templates/tasks-tracking.md.

Add the task to Planned:

| {ID} | {Task} | {Priority} | {Type} | docs/task/{ID}-{task-name}.md | {Date} |

Handoff

End with:

Task planned: docs/task/{ID}-{task-name}.md
Status: awaiting user review
Next stage after approval: implement {ID}
