SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the execution of all tasks within a software development epic by automatically progressing from one task to the next without manual confirmations, enabling unattended batch work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-continues across tasks: progresses through an epic without user prompts, handling ready tasks and blocking on blockers.
  • Full spec context loading: loads all spec artifacts at task start and after context compaction to ensure alignment.
  • Quality and recovery workflows: includes setup for memory state, validation loops, and completion/blocked handling.

Quick Start

Enable epic auto-mode and let it automatically implement all tasks in the current epic from start to finish.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate all tasks within a software development epic without manual prompts?▼

Epic automation executes all tasks within a development epic continuously, progressing from one to the next without manual confirmations. It handles ready tasks sequentially and blocks execution only when encountering unresolved blockers.

What is auto-continue for batch epic implementation and when do I need it?▼

Auto-continue for batch epic implementation is an unattended execution mode for large-scale software tasks. It is needed when manual confirmation for each individual task is infeasible, enabling continuous progression until completion or a block.

How do I ensure spec context is loaded during automated task progression?▼

Spec context is loaded automatically at task start and after context compaction. This ensures automated epic execution remains fully aligned with the original specifications throughout the continuous progression.

Can I run large-scale epic implementations unattended without losing task state?▼

Yes, unattended large-scale epic implementations include memory state setup and state-management protocols. These recovery workflows handle validation loops and ensure task state is maintained until the epic is fully complete or blocked.

What happens when an automated task encounters a blocker during epic execution?▼

When automated task execution encounters a blocker, the system halts progression and triggers blocked handling protocols. This prevents further automated execution until the blocker is resolved and the task is ready.

Do I need manual validation loops for unattended batch task automation?▼

No, unattended batch task automation includes built-in validation loops and recovery workflows. The system automatically handles quality validation during continuous progression without requiring manual intervention.
