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**

  • Use TodoWrite tool to track progress
  • Mark priorities and dependencies
  • Keep tasks granular

4. **Identify Risks**

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