Task T108 – UKW Extension for FR/BR/UXR Temporal Tracking and Synchronization

Status: COMPLETE
Priority: HIGH
Estimated Effort: Medium (3-4 days)
Created: 2026-03-11
Version: v0.6.7.107+2
Code: E6:S07:T108
Associated FR: FR-050

Problem Statement​

The UKW (Update Kanban Workflow) Agent successfully handles kanban board synchronization with temporal tracking and recent completions dashboard for kanban-completed.md. However, the FR/BR/UXR documentation ecosystem lacks equivalent temporal tracking, recent completions visibility, and standardized agent coordination patterns, creating a significant documentation quality gap.

Current Gap Analysis​

What Works Well (Kanban):

  • ✅ Temporal tracking with ISO 8601 timestamps in kanban-completed.md
  • ✅ Recent completions dashboard (20 most recent tasks)
  • ✅ Standard agent coordination interface (kanban_completed_update skill)
  • ✅ UKW Agent handles board synchronization and cleanup
  • ✅ Documentation Agent ultimate responsibility for completed tasks

What's Missing (FR/BR/UXR):

  • ❌ No temporal tracking for FR/BR/UXR completions
  • ❌ No recent completions dashboard for FR/BR/UXR items
  • ❌ No standardized agent coordination interface
  • ❌ UKW Agent doesn't handle FR/BR/UXR board synchronization
  • ❌ Inconsistent update patterns across documentation types

Solution Approach​

Extend Existing UKW Workflow​

Extend the ukw-sync skill to handle FR/BR/UXR documentation with the same temporal tracking and coordination patterns established for kanban boards, rather than creating a new workflow.

Key Components​

1. Documentation Agent Skill Extension​

Create fr_br_uxr_completed_update skill for standardized FR/BR/UXR completion tracking:

Documentation Agent.fr_br_uxr_completed_update({
  fr_br_uxr_id: "FR-048",
  type: "FR",
  status: "COMPLETE", 
  version: "v0.5.1.48+1",
  timestamp: "2026-03-11T16:20:00Z",
  completing_agent: "Intake Agent"
})

2. UKW Skill Extension​

Add new steps to ukw-sync skill:

Step 7: FR/BR/UXR Synchronization
- Analyze FR/BR/UXR completion status based on task completion
- Update fbuboard.md with latest status and metadata
- Remove completed items from active board

Step 8: FR/BR/UXR Temporal Tracking
- Add ISO 8601 completion timestamps to fr-br-uxr-completed.md
- Create recent completions dashboard (20 most recent)
- Maintain consistent format with kanban-completed.md

Step 9: FR/BR/UXR Structure Updates
- Update fr-br-uxr-structure.md with current inventory
- Ensure cross-reference integrity across all FR/BR/UXR docs
- Validate consistency between board, structure, and completed docs

3. Temporal Dashboard Implementation​

Add recent completions dashboard to fr-br-uxr-completed.md:
