CategoryTooling

When to Use This Skill

Use this workflow when:

  • •Implementing multiple tasks from a comprehensive review or audit
  • •Tasks vary in complexity (some can be done immediately, others need planning)
  • •You want to maximize parallel work while maintaining structured tracking
  • •Some tasks are large enough to warrant GitHub issues rather than immediate implementation
  • •You need to demonstrate incremental progress and publication readiness

Trigger phrases:

  • •"Continue with the remaining tasks"
  • •"Implement the architecture review plan"
  • •"Complete the review tasks in parallel"

Verified Workflow

Phase 1: Initial Assessment & Quick Wins

  1. •

    Review existing completed work:

    bash
    git log --oneline -10
git branch -a | grep review
  2. •

    Identify task categories:

    • •✅ Quick wins: Can be implemented immediately (1-2 hours each)
    • •📋 Issue-worthy: Requires significant planning or loader changes
    • •⏳ Blocked: Depends on other tasks
  3. •

    Tackle quick wins first (in this session: P1-5, P1-6, P1-7, P1-8):

    • •P1-5: Add __all__ exports (15 minutes)
    • •P1-6: Add min sample guard (30 minutes)
    • •P1-7: Add 20 new tests (agent-assisted, 1 hour)
    • •P1-8: Document non-computable metrics (agent-assisted, 1 hour)

Phase 2: Parallel Agent Execution

  1. •

    Launch parallel agents for independent tasks:

    python
    # Launch 2 agents in parallel for P1-7 and P1-8
- Agent a5b45c9: Add tests for 7 untested functions
- Agent a0284dc: Document non-computable metrics
  2. •

    Monitor agent progress:

    bash
    # Agents run in background, notify on completion
# Check status if needed:
tail -f /tmp/claude-1000/-home-mvillmow-ProjectScylla/tasks/{agent_id}.output
  3. •

    Handle agent failures gracefully:

    • •Agents may fail with errors but still produce useful output
    • •Read agent output files even if status is "failed"
    • •Extract completed work from agent transcripts

Phase 3: Complex Tasks → GitHub Issues

  1. •

    Use Plan Mode for large tasks (P1-3 example):

    python
    EnterPlanMode()
# Launch exploration agents to understand:
# - Current loader implementation
# - DataFrame column structure
# - Statistics functions available
# - Test fixture patterns

# Design implementation approach
# Write comprehensive plan to plan file
  2. •

    Convert plan to GitHub issue:

    bash
    gh issue create \
  --title "P1-3: Create Tier-Specific Metrics from Agent Result Data" \
  --label "enhancement" \
  --body "$(cat plan-summary.md)"
  3. •

    File issues for remaining tasks:

    • •Include implementation approach
    • •List files to modify
    • •Add verification steps
    • •Link dependencies
    • •Add priority labels (P0/P1/P2)

Phase 4: Structured Tracking

  1. •

    Maintain comprehensive tracking document:

    markdown
    docs/dev/architecture-review-implementation.md

## Completed Tasks
- P0-1: ✅ [details]
- P1-1: ✅ [details]

## Pending Tasks
- P1-3: 📋 [#314](github.com/...) - [summary]
- P1-4: 📋 [#315](github.com/...) - [summary]

## Summary Statistics
- Completed: 8/10 (80%)
- P0 blockers: 100% resolved
- P1 improvements: 75% complete
  2. •

    Update task metadata with GitHub issue links:

    python
    TaskUpdate(taskId="15", status="pending", metadata={"github_issue": "314"})

Phase 5: Create Pull Request

  1. •

    Commit all completed work:

    bash
    git add scylla/ tests/ docs/
git commit -m "feat(analysis): Complete P1-5, P1-6, P1-7, P1-8"
  2. •

    Create comprehensive PR:

    bash
    gh pr create \
  --title "feat(analysis): Complete P1-5, P1-6, P1-7, P1-8" \
  --body "..." \
  --label "enhancement"

gh pr merge --auto --rebase
  3. •

    Link PR to completed tasks and issues:

    • •Mention issue numbers in PR body
    • •Add "Part of #XYZ" references
    • •Link to tracking document

Failed Attempts & Lessons Learned

❌ Exploration Agents Failed with "classifyHandoffIfNeeded" Error

What happened:

  • •Both parallel exploration agents (ae3e20f, a88b03e) failed with error: "classifyHandoffIfNeeded is not defined"
  • •Despite failure status, agents produced useful output before crashing

What worked instead:

  • •Read agent output files directly even when status is "failed"
  • •Extract the comprehensive reports from agent transcripts
  • •Use the exploration findings to inform the plan

Lesson: Agent failures don't mean zero output — always check the transcript for partial results.

❌ Attempted to Implement P1-3 Immediately

What happened:

  • •Started implementing P1-3 (tier-specific metrics) which required loader extension
  • •User requested to file GitHub issue instead of implementing
  • •Entered plan mode to design approach

What worked instead:

  • •Used plan mode to thoroughly explore the codebase
  • •Designed complete implementation strategy
  • •Filed comprehensive GitHub issue #314 with full plan
  • •Moved on to simpler tasks that could be completed immediately

Lesson: Not all tasks need immediate implementation — complex tasks benefit from being filed as well-planned GitHub issues.

❌ Tried to Run Tests from Wrong Directory

What happened:

  • •Attempted to commit from tests/unit/analysis/ instead of project root
  • •Git commands failed with "pathspec did not match any files"

What worked instead:

bash
cd /home/mvillmow/ProjectScylla
git add docs/dev/architecture-review-implementation.md
git commit -m "..."

Lesson: Always cd to project root before git operations, especially when working directory changes during exploration.
