Task Planning

Overview

Transforms specifications and implementation plans into concrete, dependency-ordered tasks. Creates phased breakdowns that guide systematic implementation.

When To Use

Converting specifications to implementation tasks
Planning feature implementation order
Identifying parallel execution opportunities
Breaking down complex features into phases

When NOT To Use

Writing specifications - use spec-writing

Task Phases

Tasks follow a 5-phase structure from setup through polish:

Phase 0: Setup - Project initialization, dependencies, configuration
Phase 1: Foundation - Data models, interfaces, test infrastructure
Phase 2: Core Implementation - Business logic, APIs, services
Phase 3: Integration - External services, middleware, logging
Phase 4: Polish - Optimization, documentation, final testing

For detailed phase definitions, selection guidelines, and anti-patterns, see modules/phase-structure.md.

Task Format

Each task includes:

ID: Unique identifier (TASK-001)
Description: Clear action statement
Phase: Which phase it belongs to
Dependencies: Tasks that must complete first
Parallel Marker: [P] if can run concurrently
Files: Affected file paths
Criteria: How to verify completion
