Task Planner for Claude Code FAQs

Question 1

How does the skill facilitate multi-agent work?

Accepted Answer

It provides a standardized template for delegation messages that specify exact deliverables, constraints, and acceptance tests, ensuring clear boundaries between different agents' work.

Question 2

How does this skill handle task dependencies?

Accepted Answer

The skill uses the --blocked-by flag in the synapse CLI to link tasks via UUIDs, creating explicit execution orders where blocked tasks cannot start until their prerequisites are completed.

Question 3

What is the difference between the Task Board and a TodoList?

Accepted Answer

Task Boards are used for coarse-grained 'team contracts' or milestones visible to all agents, while TodoLists are for your personal, fine-grained micro-steps within a specific task.

Question 4

What is a 'thin vertical slice' in this context?

Accepted Answer

A thin vertical slice is the smallest possible unit of work that can be merged on its own, includes its own validation or tests, and serves to reduce project uncertainty.

Question 5

Can I visualize my task plan as a diagram?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the skill supports generating Plan Cards for the Canvas dashboard, which include Mermaid DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) visualizations for complex dependency chains.
