Task Planning

Create a detailed execution plan for the current task.

Process

1. Analyze Requirements

   • What is the goal?
   • What are the constraints?
   • What resources are available?

2. Break Down Tasks

   • Decompose into specific, actionable steps
   • Each task should be completable independently
   • Estimate relative complexity (small/medium/large)

3. Create Task List

   • Track progress in the plan's checklist (use a task tool such as TodoWrite only when the active CLI and model offer it)
   • Mark priorities and dependencies
   • Keep tasks granular

4. Identify Risks

   • What could go wrong?
   • What are the unknowns?
   • What needs clarification?

• Keep tasks small (completable in one session)
• Be specific about acceptance criteria
• Identify dependencies early
• Update plan as you learn more
