Reads a software delivery plan, marks the just-completed slice or slice batch (if any), updates the completed slices list, selects the next unfinished execution unit based on phase ordering and dependency constraints, and reports whether more slices remain. Combines slice completion tracking with next-work selection in a single step and may normalize overly narrow plans by combining adjacent compatible slices.

Usage

To use this agent, start your prompt with #software-slice-selector in the Stencila TUI, or select it with the /agent command. You can also reference it by name in a workflow pipeline.

When to use

when a TDD workflow needs to select the next execution unit from a delivery plan

when identifying what to work on next from a phased delivery plan

when a slice or combined slice batch has been completed and the workflow needs to mark it done and select the next unit

When not to use

when creating or reviewing a delivery plan (use software-plan-creator or software-plan-reviewer)

when implementing code, writing tests, or running tests
