Task Execution with mtix
Before Starting Any Work
- Run
mtix ready to find tasks available for pickup
- Run
mtix context <id> to read the assembled context chain from root to leaf
- Run
mtix claim <id> --agent codex to claim the task
The Context Chain
The dot-notation hierarchy (e.g., PROJ-42.1.3) IS your briefing. Each level adds context:
- Root: business goal
- Middle: technical scope
- Leaf: exact implementation instructions
Always run mtix context <id> before starting โ it assembles the full prompt from root to your task.
Workflow
- Read the context chain completely
- Write failing tests first (TDD)
- Implement the minimum code to pass
- Verify all acceptance criteria from the task
- Run
mtix done <id> when complete
Rules
- Never skip the context chain โ it contains your complete briefing
- Every change must have an mtix task โ use
mtix create if none exists
- Report blockers:
mtix comment <id> "blocked: <reason>"
