What problem does it solve?

MCP teams often struggle with coordinating tasks and aligning execution of stories, and this skill provides centralized guidance and tooling for end-to-end MCP workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task and story management prompts (add-task, select-tasks, update-task, complete-task, delete-task)
  • Story creation guidelines and explicit task breakdown workflows
  • Execution environment guidance (work-on) and Git integration patterns
  • Shared context for inter-task communication and safe completion workflows

Quick Start

Create a story or standalone task with add-task, then execute it using the MCP prompts to begin work.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage MCP-driven tasks and stories across their full lifecycle?▼

MCP task management is handled through structured prompts for creating, refining, breaking down, executing, reviewing, and completing tasks. You use commands like add-task, update-task, and complete-task to coordinate standalone tasks and story-based workflows end-to-end.

Can I integrate Git with my task management workflow for safe recovery?▼

Git integration is supported within the task execution environment to provide safe recovery and rollback strategies. The workflow patterns incorporate Git operations alongside shared context for inter-task communication during execution.

How do I break down a story into executable tasks?▼

Story breakdown is achieved using explicit task breakdown workflows provided by the skill. After story creation with add-task, you apply the story creation guidelines to decompose the story into discrete, executable tasks ready for execution.

What is the best way to execute tasks in an MCP environment?▼

Task execution is guided by the work-on environment prompt. You select tasks using select-tasks, then execute them using the provided MCP prompts while maintaining shared context for inter-task communication throughout the workflow.

Does MCP task management support standalone tasks outside of stories?▼

Standalone tasks are fully supported alongside story-based workflows. You can create, update, and complete individual tasks independently using the same task management prompts without requiring a parent story structure.

Can I delete tasks if my MCP workflow changes direction?▼

Task deletion is supported through the delete-task prompt. This allows you to remove tasks during refinement or when workflow requirements shift, maintaining clean coordination across your active stories and tasks.
