5d-tasks
Break gap analysis into sequenced, actionable tasks. Use when: (1) After GAP ANALYSIS phase in 5D-SDD workflow, (2) User is ready to start implementation, (3) Gaps are identified but not yet organized into work items, (4) User asks for 'task list,' 'breakdown,' or 'what to do first.' This phase creates the implementation roadmap.
What this skill does
# TASKS Phase Convert gaps into sequenced, executable tasks. ## Task Design Principles ### Right-Sized Tasks Each task should be: - Completable in one session - Independently verifiable - Clear in scope (no ambiguity about "done") If you can't tell whether a task succeeded, it's too big or poorly defined. ### Task Types Include all types, not just code: - **Code tasks:** Implementation work - **Research tasks:** Learning/investigation - **Infrastructure tasks:** Environment/tooling setup - **Alignment tasks:** Communication/review ### Dependency Ordering (Height + Time) Sequence by: 1. Blockers first (tasks that unblock others) 2. Foundation before features (transcend and include) 3. Risky/unknown tasks early (fail fast) 4. Skill-building tasks before skill-requiring tasks 5. Independent tasks can parallelize ### Quadrant Balance Ensure tasks cover all quadrants: - **Code tasks** (Individual Outer) - **Research tasks** (Individual Inner) - **Infrastructure tasks** (Collective Outer) - **Alignment tasks** (Collective Inner) Don't over-index on code tasks while ignoring alignment needs. ### Thinking Level Check (Depth) For complex tasks, note the thinking level required: - Can this be solved with existing patterns (Level 1-2)? - Does this require synthesizing contradictions (Level 3)? - Does this require novel insight (Level 4)? Flag Level 3-4 tasks as higher risk. ### Identity Trap Check Watch for: - Tasks being avoided because they challenge assumptions - Tasks scoped to protect rather than solve - Missing tasks that would reveal problems ## Task Format For each task: ``` ### Task [N]: [Title] **Type:** code / research / infrastructure / alignment **Depends on:** [task numbers or "none"] **Complexity:** trivial / moderate / complex **Description:** [What to do - specific enough to execute] **Done when:** [Verification criteria - how to know it's complete] ``` ## Sequencing Process 1. List all gaps from gap analysis 2. Convert each gap to one or more tasks 3. Identify dependencies between tasks 4. Order by dependency graph 5. Flag parallel tracks ## Output Format ``` ## Task List **Total tasks:** [count] **Estimated sessions:** [rough count] ### Critical Path [Tasks that must be sequential] ### Parallel Tracks [Tasks that can happen simultaneously] --- [Individual task entries in order] ``` ## Exit Criteria Proceed to BUILD when: - All gaps map to tasks - Dependencies are explicit - First task is unblocked and ready - User agrees with sequencing

microsoft-graph-gateway
IncludedRoute Microsoft Graph work in this workspace. Use when users want to read or write Outlook mail, calendar events, contacts, OneDrive or SharePoint files, Teams, Planner, To Do, users, groups, directory data, or arbitrary Microsoft Graph endpoints from VS Code. Prefer WorkIQ for common read scenarios. Use Microsoft Graph for write actions and gap-read scenarios that need exact Graph properties, filters, permissions, or endpoints.
copilotkit
IncludedUse when building with CopilotKit — setup, development, integrations, debugging, upgrading, or contributing. Routes to the appropriate specialized skill based on the task.
wordly-wisdom
IncludedProvides calibrated decision analysis using Charlie Munger-style multiple mental models, inversion, incentive mapping, circle-of-competence checks, misjudgment audits, second-order effects, and forecast updates. Use when the user asks for an oracle take, a hard call, a decision memo, a premortem, an outside view, a red-team, a sanity-check, what am I missing, think this through, or wants a strategy, hire, investment, plan, product, partnership, or major life choice analysed. Avoid for simple factual lookups or time-sensitive legal, medical, or market questions without fresh evidence.
swain-session
IncludedSession management and project status dashboard. Owns the full session lifecycle (start/work/close/resume), focus lane, bookmarks, worktree detection, and tab naming. Also serves as the project status dashboard — shows active epics, progress, actionable next steps, blocked items, tasks, GitHub issues, and recommendations. Worktree creation is deferred to swain-do task dispatch (SPEC-195). Triggers on: 'session', 'status', 'what's next', 'dashboard', 'overview', 'where are we', 'what should I work on', 'show me priorities', 'bookmark', 'focus on', 'session info'.

Register and manage domains, create/update/delete DNS records (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, and more), configure email forwarding and aliases, check SSL certificate status, create DNS snapshots for safe rollback, bulk update zone files, and monitor domain expiration. Supports multi-domain management, zone file import/export, and automated DNS backups. Includes both read-only and destructive operations with safety controls.
