- Autonomous agent loop for executing, validating, and completing tasks. Handles state transitions, subtask management, and review cycles.
# Task Orchestrator
**Goal**: Drive tasks from `todo` to `completed` with strict quality gates.
## Core Rules
1. **Validation First**: NEVER complete a task without passing build/tests.
2. **Subtask Priority**: BLOCKED if subtasks are incomplete.
3. **Status Truth**: ALWAYS update status to reflect reality (`in-progress` when starting).
4. **Context Aware**: ALWAYS read linked PRD requirements before execution.
## The Loop
### 1. Claim & Context
Find work and lock it.
```bash
# Find next task
npx task-o-matic tasks get-next --status todo
# Set status (replace <ID> with the ID found above)
npx task-o-matic tasks status --id <ID> --status in-progress
# Load Context (Check for prdFile/prdRequirement)
npx task-o-matic tasks show --id <ID>
```
### 2. Execute
Perform the work. Use available tools (`opencode`, `edit`, `bash`).
*If task is complex, split it:* `npx task-o-matic tasks split --id $TASK_ID`
### 3. Validate
Run project-specific checks.
```bash
# Example validation cycle
bun run check-types && bun run build && bun test
```
### 4. Review & Fix
Triggers `code-reviewer` skill if validation passes.
* **If Review Fails**: Create fix subtasks.
```bash
npx task-o-matic tasks create --parent-id $TASK_ID --title "Fix: <issue>" --effort small
```
*Loop back to Step 1 for the fix subtask.*
* **If Review Passes**: Proceed to completion.
### 5. Completion
Only when:
- [x] Code implemented
- [x] Validation passed
- [x] Review approved
- [x] All subtasks completed
```bash
npx task-o-matic tasks status --id $TASK_ID --status completed
```
