SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Import Ring pre-dev artifacts into optimus format. Reads task specs and subtasks, creates optimus-tasks.md with TaskSpec column linking to Ring source. Re-runnable — only imports what's new. Never deletes original files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Incrementally imports Ring pre-dev task specs into an Optimus tracking file without duplicating data
  • Generates TaskSpec links to Ring sources to preserve provenance
  • Maintains Ring pre-dev artifacts, enabling safe migration while supporting plan/import workflows

Quick Start

Run the import to transform Ring pre-dev artifacts into an Optimus task tracker and review the generated optimus-tasks.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate Ring pre-dev tasks into an Optimus tracking format?▼

To migrate Ring pre-dev tasks into an Optimus tracking format, run an import process that generates an optimus-tasks.md file with TaskSpec links to Ring sources. It safely transfers task data while preserving provenance.

Can I incrementally import Ring pre-dev artifacts without duplicating data?▼

Yes, you can incrementally import Ring pre-dev artifacts without duplicating data. The import process is re-runnable and identifies new task specs to append, ensuring existing imported tasks are not duplicated in the optimus-tasks.md tracker.

Does importing task specs into Optimus delete or modify the original Ring files?▼

Importing task specs into Optimus does not delete or modify original Ring files. The process preserves Ring pre-dev artifacts completely, enabling a safe migration workflow while maintaining the original source data for reference.

How does Optimus track versions and dependencies when importing pre-dev tasks?▼

Optimus tracks versions and dependencies during import by integrating with existing optimus data and state management. This mechanism supports version selection and optional task spec resolution to accurately map pre-dev task relationships.

What is the best way to re-run a pre-dev task pipeline import for new artifacts only?▼

The best way to re-run a pre-dev task pipeline import for new artifacts only is to execute the import workflow again. It automatically detects and imports only what is new, safely updating your optimus-tasks.md file without user intervention for duplicates.
