How does the skill locate the task files for a PRD?

The skill first checks the PRD metadata for a 'task_file' reference. If not found, it automatically searches standard locations such as the ./tasks/ or product-docs/tasks/ directories.

How is development velocity calculated?

Velocity is calculated by averaging the number of tasks completed per day over the last 7 days, which is then used to estimate the final completion date.

Can I use this skill for automated reporting?

Yes, by using the '--format json' argument, you can output structured data that can be integrated into external dashboards, CI/CD pipelines, or documentation tools.

What task statuses are supported in the markdown parsing?

It recognizes completed ([x]), in-progress ([-]), pending ([ ]), and cancelled ([~]) tasks, assigning different weights to each to reflect true progress.

Does it support nested or subtask structures?

Yes, the skill recognizes parent/child task relationships and can provide a weighted progress calculation to ensure complex features are tracked accurately.
