How does it handle task dependencies?

The skill identifies tasks as 'ready' only when all listed dependencies are marked as complete, allowing for automated, sequential execution of complex project plans.

What is the Implementation Manager skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that tracks and manages the status of feature implementation tasks using structured markdown files within your project.

Where are the task files stored?

Tasks are typically stored in the project's 'plan/' directory as markdown files, ensuring your project roadmap is version-controlled alongside your source code.

Can I use this with external tools?

Yes, the skill includes a CLI tool that outputs JSON data, making it easy to integrate with other automation scripts, dashboards, or custom orchestrators.

How are task timestamps updated?

The skill uses automated hooks to record exactly when work starts, when the last activity occurred (via file edits), and when a task is officially finished.
