How does this skill handle Claude's context limits?

The skill monitors context usage and will suggest compacting the session if less than 25% of the window remains before handing control back to the user.

What is a 'bead' in the Harmony task lifecycle?

In the Harmony project, a bead represents a unit of work or a task. This skill uses commands like /findtask and /claimtask to interact with these beads.

How do I know when my PR is ready to merge?

Use the /monitorreviews command. It checks for completion signals like thumbs-up emojis and bot reviews from cursor[bot] and greptile-apps[bot].

Why does the skill advise against pushing during reviews?

Pushing new code while reviews are pending cancels the active Bugbot run, making previous results stale and requiring a manual re-trigger.

What is the Branch-First Rule?

It is a critical rule requiring a task branch to be created before any coding begins to ensure that auto-syncing tools do not push unreviewed code to the main branch.

Productivity & Workflow

Manages the end-to-end development cycle for the Harmony project, from task discovery and branching to automated reviews and merging.

The Harmony Task Lifecycle skill implements a rigorous four-step development workflow designed specifically for the zeblithic/harmony repository. It guides developers through finding and claiming beads, delivering code via PRs, and finalizing merges while strictly enforcing safety rules like the Branch-First policy. The skill includes a sophisticated review state machine that monitors automated tools like Bugbot and Greptile, ensuring code quality through signal detection and preventing accidental pushes during sensitive review phases. It also features proactive context window management to maintain session stability during long development tasks.
