Agile Close Task

Table of Contents

When to use this skill

Ending a task at the end of its review round — before the merge, so the bookkeeping rides the PR. Never close bookkeeping in a follow-up PR.

How to use this skill

  1. Flip the state — task DONE, story table row synced, journal stamped:

    ./projects/ores.compass/compass.sh task done <task-slug>
    
  1. Write the * Result by hand: what shipped, what acceptance was met.
  2. Distill the * Plan into the parent story's * Decisions if it holds durable choices.
  3. Cascade if last task: when no open tasks remain, set the story DONE in story.org and its row in sprint.org — both files in the same commit.
  4. Commit on the PR branch per commit conventions: [agile] Close <task>. Then merge with pr-merge.
