How do I manage task order?

Use the --blocked-by flag during task creation. This ensures tasks cannot be started until their prerequisite blockers are marked as complete.

Can I visualize my task dependencies?

Yes, using the plan card feature, the skill can generate Mermaid DAG visualizations to represent complex dependency chains within the Canvas dashboard.

What is a 'thin vertical slice' in this context?

A thin vertical slice is the smallest mergeable unit of work that includes tests and validation, designed to reduce project uncertainty early.

How does this skill handle multi-agent collaboration?

It allows you to assign specific task board IDs to different agents with defined deliverables, constraints, and acceptance tests to ensure consistent output.

What is the difference between the task board and a TodoList?

The task board tracks coarse-grained, team-visible milestones and delegations, while the TodoList is for an agent's personal, fine-grained micro-steps.

生产力与工作流

Decomposes complex requests into actionable task boards with explicit dependency tracking and multi-agent delegation.

The Task Planner skill transforms Claude into a project orchestrator by breaking down ambiguous requirements into sequenced, manageable 'vertical slices.' It provides a structured framework for identifying blockers, defining clear agent contracts, and managing project lifecycles through the Synapse task board. By enforcing strict dependency chains and offering visual plan cards with Mermaid DAG support, it ensures that complex software engineering tasks are executed in the optimal order with measurable outcomes and clear verification steps.
