Eve Job Lifecycle

Phases

• idea -> backlog -> ready -> active -> review -> done or cancelled
• Jobs default to

  ready

  and can be scheduled immediately.

Create jobs

• eve job create --description "..."

• Add details with

  --project

  ,

  --priority

  ,

  --phase

  ,

  --labels

  ,

  --review

  .
• Create sub-jobs with

  eve job create --parent <job-id> --description "..."

  .

Update and complete

• eve job update <id> --phase <phase>

• eve job submit <id> --summary "..."

• eve job approve <id>

  or

  eve job reject <id> --reason "..."

• eve job close <id> --reason "..."

• eve job cancel <id> --reason "..."

Dependencies

• eve job dep add <job> <blocking-job>

• Use dependencies only for true blockers.
• Inspect with

  eve job dep list <id>

  .

Agent control signals

• Emit a fenced

  json-result

  block with

  eve.status

  as

  waiting

  ,

  success

  , or

  failed

  .
• Return

  waiting

  only after dependencies exist.

Recursive skill distillation

• Add new lifecycle patterns and edge cases as they appear.
• Split review or dependency workflows into new skills if they grow.
• Update the eve-skillpacks README and ARCHITECTURE listings after changes.
