What format are the specifications written in?

Specs follow an OpenSpec-compatible format, focusing on ADDED, MODIFIED, and REMOVED requirement markers with defined technical scenarios.

Does this skill support MCP integration?

Yes, if an MCP server is enabled, you can manage tasks programmatically using tools like mcp.rulebook_task_create and mcp.rulebook_task_validate.

What is the mandatory 'Spec-First' rule?

It is an absolute rule requiring that a task, proposal, and specification delta be created and validated before any implementation code is written.

Can I use this skill for simple bug fixes?

No, Rulebook Task Management is optimized for new features and breaking changes. Simple bug fixes that restore intended behavior can skip the formal task process.

How does the validation command work?

The 'rulebook task validate' command checks that your task directory contains the required proposal and task files in the correct format before allowing implementation.

生产力与工作流

Standardizes spec-driven development workflows through mandatory task creation and OpenSpec-compatible requirements.

Rulebook Task Management is a core skill designed to bring rigorous discipline to AI-generated software projects. By enforcing a mandatory 'Spec-First' rule, it prevents premature implementation and ensures every new feature or architectural change is documented with proposals, task checklists, and specification deltas. This skill integrates directly with the Rulebook CLI and MCP servers to automate the validation of project structures, helping developers and AI agents maintain high-quality, traceable codebases through a structured lifecycle of planning, validation, and execution.
