Can I integrate this with OmniFocus?

Yes, it features built-in integration to automatically create and track tasks in OmniFocus, storing the task ID to enable automated completion when the work session ends.

How does it handle branch naming?

It creates standardized branch names, such as feature/your-task-name, based on user input or timestamps, ensuring repository consistency and easier PR management.

Does it support Docker and database migrations?

Yes, it can automatically check if Docker is running, start necessary services, and run pending database migrations as part of the health check phase.

What does the Task Startup skill do?

It automates the initial steps of a development task, including environment validation, git branch creation, and session logging to ensure a consistent workspace.

Where is the configuration stored?

Settings are managed via a .task_wrapup_skill_data.json file in the project root, which is shared with the task-wrapup skill for end-to-end session management.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates development session initialization by validating environments, managing git branches, and syncing tasks with productivity tools.

About

The Task Startup Orchestrator is a comprehensive workflow automation skill designed to eliminate the friction of starting new development tasks. It performs critical preflight checks on git status, validates environment health—including Docker services and database migrations—and creates standardized feature branches from your development base. By integrating session logging and OmniFocus task creation, it ensures every work session is properly documented and tracked from the first line of code, allowing developers to focus entirely on implementation rather than environment setup.
