What does the Unstick skill actually do?

It executes a shell script that identifies files or tasks currently marked as stuck and renames them back to a pending status so they can be re-processed.

Does it automatically restart the processing engine?

The skill resets the task status. Once unstuck, you can use the /start command or your specific workflow trigger to resume the actual processing.

Is this skill part of a specific ecosystem?

Yes, it is part of the dr-done suite within the banana-stand repository, designed for personal Claude plugin and task management.

When should I use this skill?

Use it when your automated tasks stop progressing or if a process was interrupted, leaving files in a 'locked' or 'stuck' state that prevents further action.

How do I know if any tasks were fixed?

The skill provides a clear report stating the exact number of files that were unstuck or informs you if no stuck tasks were found.

Productivity & Workflow

Resumes stalled workflows by resetting stuck tasks to a pending state for immediate reprocessing.

Unstick Task Manager is a utility skill designed to resolve execution bottlenecks within your Claude-assisted workflows. It identifies files or tasks that have stalled during processing and programmatically renames them to a pending status, allowing the system to pick them up and resume work without manual intervention. This is particularly useful for large-scale automation or batch processing where transient errors might cause individual tasks to hang in a non-executable state.
