Basic Task Memo

Goal

Keep planning, TODOs, and progress logs consistent and actionable without mixing concerns.

Workflow

  1. Read memos
  • Open docs/plan.md, docs/tasks.md, and docs/progress.md.
  • Summarize the current goals and next actions; do not invent tasks.
  1. Update plan (docs/plan.md) when scope or strategy changes
  • Keep goals and success criteria measurable and short.
  • Record decisions, risks, and open questions.
  • Avoid task-level detail here; keep it strategic.
  1. Update tasks (docs/tasks.md) for actionable work
  • Use small, checkable items with clear outcomes.
  • Keep each item independently completable.
  • Remove or check off completed tasks.
  1. Update progress (docs/progress.md) for completed work
  • Append completed, high-signal changes as bullet points.
  • Keep entries factual and brief.
  • Do not add future work here.
  1. Keep files in sync
  • When a task completes, mark it in docs/tasks.md and add a progress entry.
  • When a plan changes, align tasks to match it.

  • Preserve the existing structure when it is already in use.
  • Confirm updates in the response and reference the file paths.
