How does the shared context feature work?

Stories maintain a shared context field where child tasks can append architectural decisions or discoveries, ensuring subsequent tasks always work with the most current project state.

What is the primary benefit of using the story-and-tasks skill?

It allows Claude to organize complex projects into discrete, manageable tasks and stories, automating environment setup and ensuring context is preserved throughout the development lifecycle.

Does this skill handle Git operations automatically?

Yes, when configured, it can automatically create dedicated branches and worktrees for specific tasks, providing an isolated workspace and automating the cleanup process upon completion.

Can I use this for existing projects?

Absolutely. Once the mcp-tasks server is configured and the project is initialized with a tasks directory, Claude can begin managing your existing workflow.

Productivity & Workflow

Manages complex development workflows through task-based execution, story decomposition, and automated git environment setup.

About

This skill integrates the mcp-tasks server to provide a robust framework for managing software development tasks and multi-step stories. It enables Claude to programmatically create, refine, and execute tasks while maintaining shared context across a story's lifecycle. By automating branch management and worktree creation, it ensures a clean, isolated environment for implementation, review, and pull request generation, making it ideal for managing large features or complex refactors.
