SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Quick tasks often run without formal planning or tracking, leading to undocumented results and inconsistent outcomes. This Skill provides a lightweight, auditable workflow that executes small, well-scoped tasks via a dedicated subagent, while automatically creating planning artifacts and a concise result report.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Spawns a single Task(subagent_type: "dev:towline-executor") to perform the work.
  • Creates and uses a dedicated .planning/quick/{NNN}-{slug}/ directory with PLAN.md and SUMMARY.md, and updates STATE.md for progress tracking.
  • Enforces an auditable, atomic commit model and a final results report to ensure traceability for quick tasks.

Quick Start

Describe the task you need done and Towline will create a quick task plan, spawn a towline-executor subagent, and report results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate quick ad-hoc tasks with tracked planning artifacts?▼

Automating quick ad-hoc tasks with tracked planning artifacts involves spawning a dedicated towline-executor subagent to execute well-scoped work while automatically generating PLAN.md and SUMMARY.md files to ensure auditable, documented outcomes.

What is the best way to track small, well-defined tasks in a Towline project?▼

Tracking small tasks in a Towline project is best handled by creating a dedicated .planning/quick/ directory, updating STATE.md for progress monitoring, and enforcing an atomic commit model for traceable results.

How do I execute a single subagent run for a quick task?▼

To execute a single subagent run for a quick task, you describe the task to initiate the creation of a plan, which then spawns a single Task with subagent_type "dev:towline-executor" to perform the implementation without direct code writing.

Can I use this approach for tasks that require multiple subagent runs?▼

This approach is not suitable for tasks requiring multiple subagent runs, as it is specifically designed for small, well-scoped tasks that can be completed atomically within a single subagent execution cycle.

Why do quick tasks need formal planning and result reports?▼

Quick tasks need formal planning and result reports because running them without tracking leads to undocumented results and inconsistent outcomes, making automated PLAN.md and SUMMARY.md artifacts essential for auditability.
