task-execution-engine - Claude MCP Skill
Execute implementation tasks from design documents using markdown checkboxes. Use when (1) implementing features from feature-design-assistant output, (2) resuming interrupted work, (3) batch executing tasks. Triggers on 'start implementation', 'run tasks', 'resume'.

Documentation
SKILL.md# Feature Pipeline
Execute implementation tasks directly from design documents. Tasks are managed as markdown checkboxes - no separate session files needed.
## Quick Reference
```bash
# Get next task
python3 scripts/task_manager.py next --file <design.md>
# Mark task completed
python3 scripts/task_manager.py done --file <design.md> --task "Task Title"
# Mark task failed
python3 scripts/task_manager.py fail --file <design.md> --task "Task Title" --reason "..."
# Show status
python3 scripts/task_manager.py status --file <design.md>
```
## Task Format
Tasks are written as markdown checkboxes in the design document:
```markdown
## Implementation Tasks
- [ ] **Create User model** `priority:1` `phase:model`
- files: src/models/user.py, tests/models/test_user.py
- [ ] User model has email and password_hash fields
- [ ] Email validation implemented
- [ ] Password hashing uses bcrypt
- [ ] **Implement JWT utils** `priority:2` `phase:model`
- files: src/utils/jwt.py
- [ ] generate_token() creates valid JWT
- [ ] verify_token() validates JWT
- [ ] **Create auth API** `priority:3` `phase:api` `deps:Create User model,Implement JWT utils`
- files: src/api/auth.py
- [ ] POST /register endpoint
- [ ] POST /login endpoint
```
See [references/task-format.md](references/task-format.md) for full format specification.
## Execution Loop
```
LOOP until no tasks remain:
1. GET next task (task_manager.py next)
2. READ task details (files, criteria)
3. IMPLEMENT the task
4. VERIFY acceptance criteria
5. UPDATE status (task_manager.py done/fail)
6. CONTINUE
```
### Unattended Mode Rules
- **NO stopping** for questions
- **NO asking** for clarification
- Make autonomous decisions based on codebase patterns
- If blocked, mark as failed and continue
## Status Updates
Completed task:
```markdown
- [x] **Create User model** `priority:1` `phase:model` ✅
- files: src/models/user.py
- [x] User model has email field
- [x] Password hashing implemented
```
Failed task:
```markdown
- [x] **Create User model** `priority:1` `phase:model` ❌
- files: src/models/user.py
- [ ] User model has email field
- reason: Missing database configuration
```
## Resume / Recovery
To resume interrupted work, simply run again with the same design file:
```
/feature-pipeline docs/designs/xxx.md
```
The task manager will find the first uncompleted task and continue from there.
## Integration
This skill is typically triggered after `/feature-analyzer` completes:
```
User: /feature-analyzer implement user auth
Claude: [designs feature, generates task list]
Design saved to docs/designs/2026-01-02-user-auth.md
Ready to start implementation?
User: Yes / 开始实现
Claude: [executes tasks via task-execution-engine]
