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:

• Create User model priority:1 phase:model ✅
  • files: src/models/user.py
  • User model has email field
  • Password hashing implemented

Failed task:

• 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 feature-pipeline]
