Swain Do

This is task tracking for the Swain project management system. It translates high-level intent from other skills into concrete CLI commands using the tk backend. You'd invoke it when you need an implementation plan for a SPEC, want to see what to work on next, or need to claim tasks and manage dependencies. The skill enforces strict TDD with RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycles and includes safeguards against rationalizing your way out of writing tests first. It treats tickets as ephemeral execution scaffolding rather than permanent records, with the session log serving as the actual archive. The handoff protocol is particularly well thought out, distinguishing between implementation-tier artifacts that get tracked and coordination-tier ones that get decomposed first.
