Shrimp Task Manager

Shrimp Task Manager

Quick start

Goal: turn a large task into an explicit task system with analysis, decomposition, execution guidance, and verification.

Reference notes: skills/shrimp-task-manager/references/shrimp-task-manager.md

Best-fit use cases

• Multi-step implementation with dependencies.
• Research-heavy engineering work.
• Tasks needing explicit acceptance criteria and progress tracking.
• Cases where you want a scored verification step before claiming done.

Recommended workflow

1. Analyze the task: analyze_task or plan_task
2. Break it down: split_tasks
3. Inspect and execute one task at a time: list_tasks, get_task_detail, execute_task
4. Update tasks as reality changes: update_task
5. Verify completion: verify_task

Important behavior

• execute_task gives guidance; it does not perform the work for you.
• verify_task should reflect the real outcome against the recorded criteria.
• Use research_mode when a technical investigation spans multiple passes.

Guardrails

• Do not fabricate requirements; gather evidence first.
• Keep task granularity reasonable and dependencies explicit.
• Avoid deleting unfinished tasks unless there is a clear reason.
