What are 'Holes' in this workflow?

Holes are structured escalations for technical unknowns or blockers. They categorize issues into validation or research tasks to be handled by the most appropriate agent or human.

Can I use this skill without the Beads CLI?

Yes, while it integrates deeply with Beads, it is also designed to work with standard Markdown task files located in the docs/tasks/ directory.

Does this skill read the entire project specification?

No, it is optimized for efficiency. It only reads specific 'Spec Traces' and context files identified during the decomposition phase to minimize token usage and maintain focus.

How does the Task Executor prevent scope creep?

It enforces a strict rule where any new work discovered during a task must be created as a separate issue using the 'bd create' command rather than expanding the current task's scope.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Executes decomposed development tasks through a disciplined, test-driven workflow that ensures spec alignment and prevents scope creep.

The Task Executor skill provides a structured framework for Claude to handle complex development tasks within the Disciplined Process Plugin ecosystem. It automates the lifecycle of a task—from picking up work from Beads or Markdown files to context-specific loading and rigorous Test-Driven Development (TDD). By enforcing granular context loading via spec traces and providing a formal mechanism for 'holes' (unknowns), it ensures that AI-assisted coding remains focused, traceable, and high-quality without the risks of guessing or expanding scope beyond the immediate assignment.
