About this skill
Steps
-
Read
docs/current-slice.md, anddocs/next-slices.md. -
List remaining slices and ask user to choose next:
- In
docs/next-slices.md, slices are identified by the## Slice:prefix. - Find all
## Slice:headings indocs/next-slices.mdordered by occurrence in the doc - Provide a UI that allows the user to select which Slice they'd like to pick
- Remember which they picked as "next slice"
- In
-
Promote the next slice to current-slice.md:
- Copy that slice's content verbatim (heading and all sub-content) into
docs/current-slice.md, replacing its entire contents. Use the heading format:# Current Slice:followed by the tasks exactly as they appear. - Remove that slice (heading and all its content, up to the next slice heading or end of file) from
docs/next-slices.md.
- Copy that slice's content verbatim (heading and all sub-content) into
-
Clean up: If
docs/next-slices.mdis now empty (only the# Next Slicesheading remains with no slice content), leave it with just the heading. -
Report what you did: which Slice is now current
When not to use it
- →When there are no slices defined in `docs/next-slices.md`
- →When the user does not want to choose a next slice
Limitations
- →Slices must be identified by `## Slice:` prefix.
- →Relies on specific file paths: `docs/current-slice.md` and `docs/next-slices.md`.
