What Schema Workflow does

Schema Workflow drives schema-tagged MCP work items through gate-enforced phases and fills required notes from runtime schema guidance. Use it when an item matches configured work-item or note schemas and must be advanced step by step.

Schema Workflow is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Schema Workflow comes from a repository tagged ai-coding-assistant, ai-development, ai-harness, ai-memory and ai-tools.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Schema Workflow

Drive any schema-tagged MCP work item through its gate-enforced lifecycle. This skill is schema-driven — it reads note requirements and authoring guidance from the item's tag schema at runtime, never hardcoding what notes should contain.

When this skill applies: Any item whose type field matches a schema defined in work_item_schemas: in .taskorchestrator/config.yaml, or whose tags match a schema in note_schemas: (legacy). Items without a matching type or tags advance freely (no gates).

Entry Point

Start by loading the item's context:

get_context(itemId="<uuid>")
