Implements a single task following the next → implement → check → done workflow with TDD support. Use when working on one specific task, implementing a single feature from the backlog, or following TDD red-green-refactor cycle. Triggers on 'next task', 'next feature', 'implement feature', 'work on feature', 'single task mode', 'what should I work on'.

Task Next
One command: agent-foreman next
⚠️ STRICT WORKFLOW - NO IMPROVISATION
You MUST follow this exact sequence. Do NOT skip or reorder steps.
next → implement → check → done
| ❌ FORBIDDEN | ✅ REQUIRED |
|---|---|
Skip check step | Run agent-foreman check before done |
| Go straight to implementation | Run agent-foreman next first |
| Invent extra steps | Use only the 4 steps above |
⛔ CLI-ONLY ENFORCEMENT
NEVER bypass CLI for workflow decisions:
| ❌ FORBIDDEN | ✅ REQUIRED |
|---|---|
Read ai/tasks/index.json to select task | Use agent-foreman next |
Read index.json to check status | Use agent-foreman status |
Read index.json for TDD mode | Check CLI output for !!! TDD ENFORCEMENT ACTIVE !!! |
| Edit task files to change status | Use agent-foreman done/fail |
Allowed: Reading task .md files for acceptance criteria AFTER running agent-foreman next.
Quick Start
agent-foreman next # Auto-select next priority
agent-foreman next auth.login # Specific task
Workflow
next → implement → check → done
agent-foreman next # 1. Get task + acceptance criteria
# ... implement the task ... # 2. Write code
agent-foreman check <id> # 3. Verify implementation
agent-foreman done <id> # 4. Mark complete + commit
Check TDD Mode First
Look for "!!! TDD ENFORCEMENT ACTIVE !!!" in agent-foreman next output.
TDD Workflow (when strict mode active)
# STEP 1: Get task + TDD guidance
agent-foreman next <task_id>
# STEP 2: RED - Write failing tests FIRST
# Create test file at suggested path
# Run tests: <your-test-command>
# Verify tests FAIL (confirms tests are valid)
# STEP 3: GREEN - Implement minimum code
# Write minimum code to pass tests
# Run tests: <your-test-command>
# Verify tests PASS
# STEP 4: REFACTOR - Clean up
# Clean up code while keeping tests passing
# STEP 5: Verify + Complete
agent-foreman check <task_id>
agent-foreman done <task_id>
CRITICAL: DO NOT write implementation code before tests exist in strict TDD mode!
Priority Order
needs_review→ may be brokenfailing→ not implemented- Lower
prioritynumber → higher priority (0 is highest)
⚠️ BREAKDOWN → VALIDATE → IMPLEMENT Workflow
When next shows "VALIDATION PHASE REMINDER":
# All BREAKDOWNs complete → Run validation FIRST
agent-foreman validate
# Then proceed with implementation
agent-foreman next
ALWAYS run done after completing each task (including BREAKDOWN tasks).
Options
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--check | Run tests before showing task |
--dry-run | Preview without changes |
--json | Output as JSON for scripting |
--quiet | Suppress decorative output |
--allow-dirty | Allow with uncommitted changes |
--refresh-guidance | Force regenerate TDD guidance |
Complete Options
agent-foreman done <id> # Mark complete + commit
agent-foreman done <id> --full # Run all tests
agent-foreman done <id> --skip-e2e # Skip E2E tests
agent-foreman done <id> --no-commit # Manual commit

View allExecutes unattended batch processing of all pending tasks with autonomous decision-making. Use when running all tasks automatically, batch processing without supervision, completing entire feature backlog, or working on a specific task by ID. Triggers on 'run all tasks', 'complete all features', 'batch processing', 'unattended mode', 'auto-complete tasks', 'run feature'.
Multi-role requirement analysis and task breakdown workflow using 4 specialized AI agents (PM, UX, Tech, QA). Each agent conducts web research before analysis to gather industry best practices, case studies, and current trends. Supports Quick Mode (parallel, ~3 min, one Q&A session) and Deep Mode (serial, ~8 min, Q&A after EACH agent so answers inform subsequent analysis). Triggers on 'foreman-spec', 'spec feature', 'break down requirement', 'define tasks', 'spec this'.
Creates AI agent task management structure with feature backlog (ai/tasks/), TDD enforcement, and progress tracking. Use when setting up agent-foreman, initializing feature-driven development, creating task backlog, or enabling TDD mode. Triggers on 'init harness', 'setup feature tracking', 'create feature backlog', 'enable strict TDD', 'initialize agent-foreman'.
Scans codebases to generate architecture documentation (ARCHITECTURE.md). Use when joining an existing project, understanding codebase structure, exploring project architecture, or preparing for agent-foreman init. Triggers on 'analyze project', 'understand codebase', 'explore architecture', 'scan project structure', 'survey project'.
