Phase Tracking Skill

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the issue of agents neglecting Phase 2 items after completing Phase 1 MVP, ensuring continuous progress and clear visibility into the entire feature lifecycle.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Phase Identification: Automatically detects and categorizes feature items into Phase 1, Phase 1.5, Phase 2, etc., based on defined markers in FEATURE.md files.
• Status Tracking: Maintains a clear overview of the total, complete, in-progress, and blocked items for each phase, including identifying specific blockers.
• Transition Management: Provides checklists and conditions for transitioning between phases, ensuring all prerequisites are met.
• Backlog Generation: Automatically creates Phase 2 backlogs when Phase 1 is completed, prioritizing items based on dependencies and impact.
• Progress Reporting: Generates concise progress reports summarizing overall feature advancement and highlighting critical blockers.
• Use Case: When a feature like "Quality Spec" is being developed, this skill ensures that after the MVP (Phase 1) is done, the subsequent tasks like "Airflow DAG generation" and "Slack notifications" (Phase 2) are not forgotten and are actively tracked.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to show the phase status for the Quality feature.
