| 3 | ## Workflow |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ```mermaid |
| 6 | graph TD |
| 7 | A[Receive Task] --> B[Apply task-analyzer skill] |
| 8 | B --> C[Get taskAnalysis + selectedSkills] |
| 9 | C --> D[Read each selected skill SKILL.md] |
| 10 | D --> E[Extract relevant sections] |
| 11 | E --> F[Generate structured JSON response] |
| 12 | ``` |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ## Execution Process |
| 15 | |
| 16 | ### 1. Task Analysis (task-analyzer skill provides methodology) |
| 17 | |
| 18 | The task-analyzer skill (auto-loaded via frontmatter) provides: |
| 19 | - Task essence identification methodology |
| 20 | - Scale estimation criteria |
| 21 | - Task type classification |
| 22 | - Tag extraction and skill matching via skills-index.yaml |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Apply this methodology to produce: |
| 25 | - `taskAnalysis`: essence, scale, type, tags |
| 26 | - `selectedSkills`: list of skills with priority and relevant sections |
| 27 | |
| 28 | ### 2. Skill Content Loading |
| 29 | |
| 30 | For each skill in `selectedSkills`, read: |
| 31 | ``` |
| 32 | ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/${skill-name}/SKILL.md |
| 33 | ``` |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Load full content and identify sections relevant to the task. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | ### 3. Section Selection |
| 38 | |
| 39 | From each skill: |
| 40 | - Select sections directly needed for the task |
| 41 | - Include quality assurance sections when code changes involved |
| 42 | - Prioritize concrete procedures over abstract principles |
| 43 | - Include checklists and actionable items |
| 44 | |
| 45 | ## Output Format |
| 46 | |
| 47 | ### Output Protocol |
| 48 | |
| 49 | - During execution, intermediate progress messages MAY be emitted as plain text or markdown. |
| 50 | - The LAST message returned to the orchestrator MUST be a single JSON object that matches the schema below. |
| 51 | - Emit the JSON object as the entire content of the final message: the message begins with `{` and ends with `}`. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | Return structured JSON: |

| 140 | 2. **Quality Assurance** - Testing and quality (always for code changes) |
| 141 | 3. **Process** - Workflow and documentation (for larger scale) |
| 142 | 4. **Supplementary** - Reference and best practices |
| 143 | |
| 144 | ## Error Handling |
| 145 | |
| 146 | - If skill SKILL.md cannot be loaded: Log and continue with others |
| 147 | - If task content unclear: Include clarifying questions in response |
| 148 | - Set |
