Working on a Task

View task details and determine the appropriate next action.

Announce at start: "I'm using the knowns.task skill to view task [ID]."

Core principle: VIEW AND ROUTE - analyze state, suggest next skill.

The Process

Step 1: View Task

json

mcp__knowns__get_task({ "taskId": "$ARGUMENTS" })

Step 2: Analyze State

Check:

•Status: todo, in-progress, done?
•Assignee: Assigned to someone?
•AC: Any checked? All checked?
•Plan: Has implementation plan?
•Refs: Any @doc/ or @task- references?

Step 3: Suggest Next Action

Based on task state, recommend the appropriate skill:

State	Next Skill
`todo`, not started	`knowns.task.plan`
`in-progress`, no plan	`knowns.task.plan`
`in-progress`, has plan	`knowns.task.implement`
`done`, needs changes	`knowns.task.reopen`
Requirements unclear	`knowns.task.brainstorm`

Step 4: Follow Refs (if needed)

If task has references, follow them for context:

json

// Doc ref: @doc/path →
mcp__knowns__get_doc({ "path": "<path>", "smart": true })

// Task ref: @task-<id> →
mcp__knowns__get_task({ "taskId": "<id>" })

Quick Actions

Start planning (includes taking ownership):

code

/knowns.task.plan $ARGUMENTS

Continue implementing:

code

/knowns.task.implement $ARGUMENTS

Requirements unclear:

code

/knowns.task.brainstorm $ARGUMENTS

Reopen completed task:

code

/knowns.task.reopen $ARGUMENTS

Remember

•This skill is for viewing and routing
•Use plan to start a new task (takes ownership, starts timer)
•Use implement to continue/complete in-progress tasks
•Always follow refs for full context
