Why does it load metadata before descriptions?

This approach preserves context window space and processing power by only fetching full task details when a specific worker is ready to execute that individual task.

Does this skill perform the actual coding?

No, it orchestrates the process. It uses the Skill tool to call specialized executors like ln-331 for implementation or ln-332 for reviews.

What happens if a quality gate fails?

The orchestrator automatically handles failures by returning the Story to the execution loop, triggering reworks or new tasks until all quality requirements are met.

What is the main role of the Story Execution Orchestrator?

It acts as a project manager within Claude Code, picking the next most important task in a Story and delegating it to specific worker skills for execution or review.

How does it track task progress?

It uses Linear metadata as the primary source of truth and synchronizes status changes with your local docs/tasks/kanban_board.md file.

Productivity & Workflow

Orchestrates the end-to-end execution of Agile stories by automating task prioritization, delegation, and quality gates.

About

This skill serves as a central controller for Agile story execution within Claude Code, automating the progression of tasks through their entire lifecycle from Todo to Done. By intelligently delegating work to specialized sub-skills for implementation, rework, testing, and review, it ensures that project milestones are met following a consistent, foundation-first order. The orchestrator manages metadata efficiently, maintains synchronization with Linear and local Kanban boards, and enforces strict quality gates to ensure high-standard deliverables without manual oversight.

Key Features

Automated task prioritization (To Review > To Rework > Todo)
Continuous synchronization with Linear and local Kanban boards
Metadata-first loading for efficient context management
Integrated quality gate management for Story-level validation
Seamless delegation to specialized executor and reviewer sub-skills
12 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Automating the completion of multiple sub-tasks within a Linear Story
Managing the transition from development to quality assurance via automated gates
Enforcing a standardized review-after-execution workflow for development teams
