SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Smith provides a deterministic, auditable workflow for software development by managing a persistent queue of deferred tasks. It eliminates the chaos of ad-hoc task tracking and ensures reproducible handoffs and visibility across teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persistent queue in .smith/vault/queue/ that supports add, list, process, remove, batch execute, schedule, prioritize, and history browsing.
  • Dependency-aware processing with status lifecycles and per-task state tracking, enabling safe parallel work and review gates.
  • Deterministic execution using git worktrees for isolated task processing, PR creation/merge, and spec/state updates.

Quick Start

Queue a new task and let Smith manage the full lifecycle from creation to history.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage a persistent task queue for deferred software development work?▼

A persistent task queue tracks deferred development work in a local vault directory, supporting prioritization, scheduling, and history browsing to eliminate ad-hoc tracking and ensure reproducible team handoffs.

What is the best way to automate PR creation and build steps for isolated tasks?▼

The best way to automate PR creation and build steps is by using dependency-aware processing with git worktrees for isolated task execution. This enforces end-to-end coordination, automatically handling builds, PR merges, and spec updates across projects.

How does dependency-aware task scheduling work for parallel development?▼

Dependency-aware task scheduling works by enforcing status lifecycles and per-task state tracking. By understanding task dependencies, the system enables safe parallel work and review gates, ensuring tasks are processed only when their prerequisites are met.

Can I batch execute and prioritize deferred tasks across multiple projects?▼

Yes, you can batch execute and prioritize deferred tasks across multiple projects. The queue system supports batch processing and task prioritization, maintaining state and dependency tracking to coordinate end-to-end workflows safely.

How do I track task status lifecycles and history for auditable DevOps workflows?▼

You track task status lifecycles and history by storing persistent state in a local vault queue. This approach provides history browsing and per-task state tracking, delivering deterministic, auditable workflows for software development.
