From the source SKILL.md

Drive one task from pending → completed using a strict TDD loop, gated by /ultra-review. state.db is the authority: status transitions go through MCP task.update; the projector regenerates tasks.json and context-md frontmatter. The skill only writes context-md bodies (Change Log, Completion, Dual-Write notes).
