CSE247B Class Assistant Skill

This skill is designed to assist students in the CSE247B class with their project reporting and task management.

Context Resolution (always perform this first)

1. Identify the Project: The user will have provided two main context directories:
   • A private project directory (containing their source code).
   • The cse247b_reports_w26 master repository.
2. Locate Report Folder: Find the subdirectory in cse247b_reports_w26 that corresponds to the user's private project directory name. This is the Target Report Directory.
3. Load Domain Context: Look for a corresponding markdown file in the references folder of this skill's directory (e.g., if the project is asm2cpp or similar, look for references/asm2cpp.md). Use the content of this file to understand the project's goals and domain when generating content.

Workflows

1. Overview Maintenance (always perform this workflow after completing one of the other workflows)

• Action: Check overview.md in the Target Report Directory.
• Condition: If the file is empty, sparse, or if a new task has just been generated.
• Resolution:
  • Perform deep research on the project topic (utilizing the references file and general knowledge). Search the internet for relevant information.
  • Write or update overview.md with a comprehensive summary of the project and its architectural approach.
  • Always trigger this update immediately after generating new tasks.

2. Task Status Management (conditionally perform this workflow)

• Trigger: User indicates a task is finished (e.g., "Task succeeded", "Task failed", "I'm done with this task").
• Action:
  1. Identify Active Task: Locate the active task file (usually task.md, or the specific file mentioned).
  2. Determine Destination:
     • If success: completed/ directory.
     • If failure: failed/ directory.
  3. Remove Empty task1.md:
     • If the target folder contains an empty task1.md, remove it.
  4. Calculate Next Sequence Number:
     • Scan both completed/ and failed/ directories for files matching taskN.md.
     • Find the highest number N. The new sequence number is N + 1.
     • Example: If completed/task1.md and failed/task2.md exist, the new file will be task3.md.
     • If the task is taska.md for example, the new file will be taska1.md
  5. Move and Rename: Move the active task file to the destination directory and rename it to task{N+1}.md (e.g., completed/task3.md).
  6. Generate Next Task:
     • Create a new task.md file in the root of the Target Report Directory. If the task they completed/failed ends in a letter, reuse that letter when creating the new file.
     • Fill it with the immediate next step for the project, based on the overview.md and the result of the previous task.

3. Task Generation (conditionally perform this workflow)

• Trigger: User says something like "Create an n week long task" or "Create n week long tasks for a group of 2".
• Action:
  1. Determine if there is a task.md file in the Target Report Directory that starts with "SAMPLE TASK". If so, delete this file.
  2. Analyze the current state of the project and the overview.md.
  3. Perform deep research (search the internet if necessary) to figure out the next logical steps of the project.
  4. Generate n new task files (depending on group size) in the Target Report Directory root. E.g. taska.md and taskb.md for a group size of 2. If only a team of one (or not group size is mentioned), omit the letter and just put task.md.
  5. Fill these files with distinct, relevant, and substantial work items suitable for the desired number of weeks of effort for n separate students. Ensure the tasks advance the project goals defined in the reference material.
