Implementation Plan

Task Format Template

Use whichever pattern fits the work breakdown:

Major task only

  • {{NUMBER}}. {{TASK_DESCRIPTION}}{{PARALLEL_MARK}}
    • {{DETAIL_ITEM_1}} (Include details only when needed. If the task stands alone, omit bullet items.)
    • _Requirements: {{REQUIREMENTIDS}}

Major + Sub-task structure

  • {{MAJOR_NUMBER}}. {{MAJOR_TASK_SUMMARY}}
  • {{MAJOR_NUMBER}}.{{SUB_NUMBER}} {{SUB_TASK_DESCRIPTION}}{{SUB_PARALLEL_MARK}}
    • {{DETAIL_ITEM_1}}
    • {{DETAIL_ITEM_2}}
    • {{OBSERVABLE_COMPLETION_ITEM}} (At least one detail item should state the observable completion condition for this task.)
    • _Requirements: {{REQUIREMENTIDS}} (IDs only; do not add descriptions or parentheses.)
    • _Boundary: {{COMPONENTNAMES}} (Only for (P) tasks. Omit when scope is obvious.)
    • _Depends: {{TASKIDS}} (Only for non-obvious cross-boundary dependencies. Most tasks omit this.)

Parallel marker: Append (P) only to tasks that can be executed in parallel. Omit the marker when running in --sequential mode.

Optional test coverage: When a sub-task is deferrable test work tied to acceptance criteria, mark the checkbox as - [ ]* and explain the referenced requirements in the detail bullets.
