| name | feature-run |
| description | Executes unattended batch processing of all pending tasks with autonomous decision-making. Use when running all tasks automatically, batch processing without supervision, completing entire feature backlog, or working on a specific task by ID. Triggers on 'run all tasks', 'complete all features', 'batch processing', 'unattended mode', 'auto-complete tasks', 'run feature'. |

Task Run
Mode: Work on all tasks or a specific one
⚠️ STRICT WORKFLOW - NO IMPROVISATION
You MUST follow this exact sequence for EVERY task. Do NOT skip or reorder steps.
next → implement → check → done
| ❌ FORBIDDEN | ✅ REQUIRED |
|---|
Skip check step | Run agent-foreman check before done |
| Go straight to implementation | Run agent-foreman next first |
| Invent extra steps | Use only the 4 steps above |
| Reorder the workflow | Execute in exact sequence |
⛔ CLI-ONLY ENFORCEMENT
NEVER bypass CLI for workflow decisions:
| ❌ FORBIDDEN | ✅ REQUIRED |
|---|
Read ai/tasks/index.json to select task | Use agent-foreman next |
Read index.json to check status | Use agent-foreman status |
| Read task files to check status | Use CLI commands |
| Edit task files to change status | Use agent-foreman done/fail |
This applies to ALL iterations in the loop.
⚡ UNATTENDED MODE (when no task_id provided)
- NO questions allowed
- NO stopping for errors
- MUST complete all tasks
Mode Detection
If task_id provided (e.g., feature-run auth.login):
- Work on that specific task only
- Complete it and stop
If no task_id (e.g., feature-run):
- Auto-complete all pending tasks
- Loop until all done
- UNATTENDED MODE ACTIVE - see rules below
Single Task Mode
When task_id is provided:
Task(
subagent_type="agent-foreman:implementer",
prompt="TASK: <task_id>
Execute: next <task_id> → implement → check → return result"
)
All Tasks Mode
When no task_id:
agent-foreman status
Task(
subagent_type="agent-foreman:implementer",
prompt="Execute: next → implement → check → return result"
)
Rules
| Rule | Description |
|---|
| One at a time | Complete current before next |
| No skipping | Always next → implement → check → done (status only at start/end) |
| No editing criteria | Implement as specified |
| Never kill processes | Let commands finish naturally |
Priority Order
needs_review → may be broken (highest)
failing → not implemented
- Lower
priority number → higher priority (0 is highest)
TDD Mode
TDD workflow is handled internally by the agent-foreman:implementer agent. No action required from the orchestrator.
Unattended Mode Rules
When in ALL-TASKS mode (no task_id provided):
- NO questions - The implementer agent handles decisions autonomously
- NO stopping - Always continue to next task after done/fail
- Exit only when implementer returns "No pending tasks available"
Loop Enforcement (MUST FOLLOW)
When in ALL-TASKS mode:
- START: Run
agent-foreman status once - show initial state
- LOOP:
a. Delegate: Call
Task(subagent_type="agent-foreman:implementer") - agent runs next → implement → check
b. Parse result: Extract task_id, status, verification_passed, notes
c. Check exit: If status: blocked and notes contains "No pending tasks" → EXIT to step 3
d. Complete: Based on result:
success + verification_passed: true → agent-foreman done <task_id>
- Otherwise →
agent-foreman fail <task_id> -r "<notes>"
e. Continue: Go to step 2a (NOT step 1)
- FINISH: Run
agent-foreman status once - show final summary
Result Parsing
The implementer agent returns structured output:
---IMPLEMENTATION RESULT---
task_id: <task_id>
status: success|partial|blocked|failed
verification_passed: true|false
files_modified: [list]
notes: <description>
---END IMPLEMENTATION RESULT---
Never Stop For
- Agent errors
- Verification failures
- Missing tasks
- Any unexpected output
Only Stop When
- Implementer agent returns
status: blocked with notes: No pending tasks available
On Agent Result Handling
When the implementer agent returns its result:
If status: success and verification_passed: true
agent-foreman done <task_id>
Then continue to next iteration.
If verification failed or status is not success
agent-foreman fail <task_id> --reason "<notes from agent>"
Then IMMEDIATELY continue to next iteration.
Result Handling Rules
- DO NOT STOP - This is the most critical rule
- DO NOT ASK - Never ask user what to do
- ALWAYS parse the result - Extract task_id and status from agent output
- ALWAYS continue - Move to next task after done/fail
This applies to ALL agent results, including errors or malformed output.
Exit When
| Condition | Action |
|---|
| All tasks processed | STOP - Show summary |
| Single task completed | STOP - Task done |
| User interrupts | STOP - Clean state |
CRITICAL: NEVER stop due to verification failure - always use agent-foreman fail and continue!
Loop Completion
When all tasks have been processed:
- Run
agent-foreman status to show final summary
- Report counts:
- X tasks passing
- Y tasks failed (need investigation)
- Z tasks needs_review (dependency changes)
- W tasks still failing (not attempted)
- List tasks that failed verification with their failure reasons
