# Workplan File Specification
|
|
|
|
A workplan is a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter that describes a unit of
|
|
work. It is the only input the `/ralph-workplan` skill needs.
|
|
|
|
## File Format
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
---
|
|
id: WP-0001
|
|
title: "Build a thing"
|
|
status: active
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Optional free-text description of the workplan scope and goals.
|
|
|
|
## Task: Do the first thing
|
|
|
|
```task
|
|
id: T-01
|
|
status: todo
|
|
priority: high
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Task: Do the second thing
|
|
|
|
```task
|
|
id: T-02
|
|
status: todo
|
|
priority: medium
|
|
```
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Frontmatter Fields
|
|
|
|
| Field | Required | Values | Description |
|
|
|-------|----------|--------|-------------|
|
|
| `id` | yes | string | Unique workplan identifier |
|
|
| `title` | yes | string | Human-readable name |
|
|
| `status` | yes | `active` \| `done` \| `paused` | Workplan lifecycle state |
|
|
|
|
## Task Blocks
|
|
|
|
Each task is a fenced code block with language tag `task`, embedded anywhere in
|
|
the document body. Fields:
|
|
|
|
| Field | Required | Values | Description |
|
|
|-------|----------|--------|-------------|
|
|
| `id` | yes | string | Unique task identifier within the workplan |
|
|
| `status` | yes | `todo` \| `in_progress` \| `done` | Task state |
|
|
| `priority` | no | `high` \| `medium` \| `low` | Execution priority |
|
|
|
|
## Completion Rule
|
|
|
|
A workplan is **done** when:
|
|
1. Every task block has `status: done`
|
|
2. The frontmatter `status` field is `done`
|
|
|
|
The skill updates both as work progresses — tasks individually, then the
|
|
workplan when all tasks are complete.
|
|
|
|
## Naming Convention
|
|
|
|
The skill works with any filename. A common convention used in custodian-family
|
|
projects is:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
workplans/<PREFIX>-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
but this is not required.
