status-progression

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams navigate and explain complex, user-defined status workflows by interpreting next-status recommendations, StatusValidator errors, and workflow rules. It acts as a lightweight coordinator that clarifies options without enforcing transitions, guiding users to understand their config-driven paths.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Delegate to get_next_status: Reads current state and tags to recommend the next status based on the configured flows.
• Interpret StatusValidator errors: Explains blocked transitions and shows what the config requires for progression.
• Explain user config rules: Loads and explains sections from .taskorchestrator/config.yaml (status_progression and status_validation) in the context of the current workflow.
• Describe forward, backward, and emergency patterns: Helps users understand allowed transitions and when to use emergency statuses.

Quick Start

Ask about the next step for a given container, e.g., "What's the next status for task-uuid?" The skill will read your config, consult the get_next_status tool, and translate the results into actionable guidance.
