Agile Development Execution Skill

What it does

• Guides dev tasks from acceptance criteria to code, tests, PRs, and status updates.
• Ensures branch/PR hygiene and continuous integration checks stay green.

When to use

• When breaking a story into tasks and coding steps.
• While monitoring day-to-day execution, task movement, and CI health.

Key operations

• Identify active project; read PROJECT.md, current-sprint.json, tasks/todo.json.
• Task breakdown: story → tasks/subtasks; assign owners; set branch/PR naming.
• Status transitions: move tasks between todo → in-progress → in-review/testing → done; log time/blockers.
• CI hygiene: run lint/test/build locally; keep pipelines green; record notable CI runs.
• Progress tracking: update task-plan and dev-notes; re-plan if blocked; log to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md.

Output files

• projects/<ACTIVE>/tasks/todo.json — tasks not started.
• projects/<ACTIVE>/tasks/in-progress.json — active tasks.
• projects/<ACTIVE>/tasks/done.json — completed tasks.
• projects/<ACTIVE>/tasks/task-log.md — daily progress/time/blockers.
• execution/task-plan.md — per-story task breakdown (if used locally).
• execution/dev-notes.md — decisions, trade-offs, blockers, follow-ups.
• execution/ci-status.md — notable CI runs, failures, fixes, flaky tests.
• memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md — session decisions, blockers, time spent.

Example workflow

1. Pull story details; restate acceptance criteria; break into tasks; assign owners.
2. Move task to in-progress.json; create branch; code with small commits; run lint/test/build before PR.
3. Update task-plan.md/dev-notes.md; track CI runs in ci-status.md; log blockers in task-log.md and memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md.
4. Move task to in-review.json/testing.json then done.json; ensure statuses and logs updated.

Best practices (best practice)

• Keep PRs small and focused; link to story ID.
• Automate checks locally (pre-commit/dev-check scripts) before pushing.
• Communicate blockers within same day; avoid silent stuck work.
• Keep tasks visible; update statuses daily across todo.json/in-progress.json/done.json.
• Log hours/time spent for velocity and capacity accuracy.
