name: executing-tasks description: Provides reusable 6-phase task execution workflow for any task type including context gathering, planning, execution, quality check, progress update, and learning documentation. This skill should be used when implementing tasks from story breakdowns, executing development work, or running structured task workflows. Triggers on "execute task", "task workflow", "implement task", "task phases", "quality check", "run task", "complete task".

Task Execution

Standardized 6-phase workflow for executing any task type with consistent quality gates and progress tracking. Integrates with sprint-orchestration for task assignment and progress updates.

Phase Summary

Completion Criteria by Task Type

Quality Gates

Before transitioning from Execution (Phase 3) to Quality (Phase 4):

• All planned TodoWrite items completed or explicitly deferred
• Atomic commits made for logical units of work
• No uncommitted changes unless intentionally staged

Before transitioning from Quality (Phase 4) to Progress (Phase 5):

• All verification commands executed
• Any failures documented with root cause
• Re-execution loop if quality checks fail
