Tasks

Tasks turn a plan into bounded units with inputs, outputs, dependencies, acceptance checks, and ownership. Agent-ready tasks minimize hidden context and produce results that can be verified and integrated without replaying the entire reasoning process.

Questions to answer

Resolve these before adding tools, frameworks, or automation.

  • What concrete artifact or state change completes this task?
  • Which context and dependencies must be supplied rather than rediscovered?
  • Can the result be verified and integrated independently?

Implementation lifecycle

Build the evidence in this order

  1. 01

    Decompose

    Create tasks around independently testable outputs rather than arbitrary file boundaries.

  2. 02

    Execute

    Provide required context, allowed scope, and a clear completion contract.

  3. 03

    Integrate

    Verify the output, reconcile dependencies, and update the parent plan.

Artifacts to maintain

  • tasks.md
  • issue
  • acceptance checklist
  • dependency map
