Task Orchestration System Guide

A simple, powerful system that helps you organize and track your development work. Think of it as your personal project assistant that breaks down big ideas into manageable tasks and keeps everything organized.

What Does It Do?

Imagine you have a big project like "build a user login system." This tool:

• 📝 Breaks it down into smaller tasks (like "create login form" and "add password reset")
• 📊 Keeps track of what's done, what's being worked on, and what's next
• 🔄 Syncs with Git to track your actual code changes
• 💾 Saves everything so you can pick up where you left off

Quick Start Guide

Starting a New Project

Simply tell the system what you want to build:

/orchestration/start
I need to build a user authentication system with:
- Login and logout
- Password reset via email
- Remember me functionality
- Social media login (Google and Facebook)

The system will: 1. Ask clarifying questions if needed 2. Create organized task files 3. Set up a tracking system 4. Give you a clear plan to follow

Checking Your Progress

See what's happening at any time:

/orchestration/status

This shows you:

• ✅ What's completed
• 🔄 What's being worked on
• 📋 What's ready to start
• ⏸️ What's blocked

Continuing After a Break

Left for lunch? Changed computers? No problem:

/orchestration/resume

This brings back everything:

• Where you left off
• What file you were working on
• What's next to do
• Any important notes

Essential Commands

Here are the main commands you'll use:

| Command | What it does | When to use it | |---------|--------------|----------------| | `/orchestration/start` | Begin a new project | Starting fresh work | | `/orchestration/status` | Check progress | See what's happening | | `/orchestration/resume` | Continue working | After any break | | `/orchestration/move` | Update task status | When you complete something | | `/orchestration/commit` | Save to Git | When code is ready |

Real-World Examples

Example 1: Starting Your Monday

/orchestration/resume

> You have 3 active projects:
> 1. authentication_system (65% done)
> 2. payment_processing (40% done)  
> 3. admin_dashboard (85% done)
>
> Which one? [1]

Example 2: Finishing a Task

When you complete something:

/orchestration/move TASK-003 qa

> Moving "Add login form" to testing
> Ready to commit your changes? [Y/n]

Example 3: Creating a Git Commit

The system helps you make professional commits:

/orchestration/commit

> Creating commit for TASK-003: Add login form
> Generated message:
> "feat(auth): implement user login form
>  
>  - Add email/password fields
>  - Include validation
>  - Add remember me checkbox
>  
>  Task: TASK-003"

Task Organization

Your tasks are organized like a filing cabinet:

📁 **todos/** - Tasks ready to start 📁 **in_progress/** - What you're working on now 📁 **qa/** - Finished but needs testing 📁 **completed/** - All done! 📁 **on_hold/** - Waiting for something

Tips for Success

🎯 Keep It Simple

• Work on one task at a time
• Move tasks as you progress
• Commit when moving to testing

📝 Stay Organized

• Tasks automatically organize by date
• Everything is tracked for you
• You can always resume later

🔄 Regular Habits

• Start with `/orchestration/resume`
• Check status when confused
• Commit completed work promptly

How Files Are Organized

The system creates a special folder structure:

📁 task-orchestration/
  📁 03_15_2024/                    # Today's date
    📁 authentication_system/       # Your project
