Work Node
Carries out one task or phase while keeping its node in the RoadRaven desktop app current. Claims or creates a node, sets it in progress, checkpoints progress into the node's notes, stays inside the files the brief names, proves a fix with a failing test first, runs the project's own checks, reports in a fixed format and sets the final status. Use when a brief or an orchestrator says to use work-node, when a sub-agent is handed a phase brief with a roadmap node id, or when the user says "pick up the next roadmap task", "work on this node", "do the first not-started node and update its status as you go". Needs the RoadRaven app running with a roadmap open.

From the source SKILL.md
You are doing one piece of work that someone is watching in RoadRaven. The node is how they see it: its status says where you are, its notes say what you found. Keep both honest and current.
What this skill does
Work Node is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the roadmap sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/work-node/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when a brief or an orchestrator says to use work-node, when a sub-agent is handed a phase brief with a roadmap node id, or when the user says "pick up the next roadmap task", "work on this node", "do the first not-started node and update its status as you go".
