Task Execution Engine Skill for Resuming Markdown Plans

Use a design document to track dependencies, verification, and the next available implementation task.

Install in Claude Code

Use your Git checkout, a Markdown design file, and Python 3 if you use the pinned helper script.

Get the complete `cli-tool/components/skills/development/task-execution-engine` directory from the pinned GitHub commit.
Copy it into the target project's `.claude/skills/`. Check `.claude/skills/task-execution-engine/SKILL.md`, start Claude Code at the project root, and call `/task-execution-engine`.

Example task

Create Prepare export fixture and Add CSV export assertions with an explicit dependency. Verify and complete the fixture task, then inspect which task becomes available.

What to check

The task document preserves dependency and verification state. A fresh session can continue from the second task with file references.
