task-reviewer

Review a specific task or few tasks for quality before implementation. Use when the user says "review this task", "check task quality", "is this task ready", "validate task MKT-003", or is working on a task and wants inline quality feedback. For comprehensive backlog audits, use the task-auditor agent instead.

Task Reviewer

Review task definitions for quality and INDEX.md consistency. This skill helps ensure tasks are well-defined before implementation begins.

When to Use

Before starting implementation of a task

After creating new tasks with /design

When auditing task backlog quality

To find orphaned or mismatched tasks

Quick Review Process

Load configuration from design.yaml to get repo prefix

Scan tasks/ using Glob pattern: tasks/*-*/TASK.md (exclude archive/)

Read each task's files: TASK.md, PROGRESS.md, REVIEW.md

Check against quality checklist (see checklist.md)

Validate INDEX.md against actual directories

Report findings with severity levels

Required Sections in TASK.md

Every task must have:

# Task {PREFIX}-{NNN}: {Title} header

## Description section

## Dependencies section (even if "None")

## User Stories section (at least one)

## Files to Create/Modify section

## Inventory Check section

## Completion Criteria section

Severity Levels

Critical: Task cannot be implemented (missing sections, invalid refs)

Warning: Quality issues (vague criteria, incomplete coverage)

Suggestion: Improvements recommended (better wording, more detail)

Common Issues

Vague acceptance criteria ("works correctly")

Missing error case coverage

Stale dependencies (completed tasks still blocking)

Incomplete file lists

Status mismatches between INDEX.md and TASK.md

Orphaned tasks (directory exists, not in INDEX.md)

For detailed checklist, see checklist.md. For output format template, see output-format.md.
