allowed-tools: TodoWrite, Read, Grep, Glob, Bash(git status:*), Bash(git log:*)

Create a comprehensive task plan for the given development work. Break down complex tasks into manageable, actionable steps.

Planning Process

1. **Analysis Phase**

• Use Read, Grep, and Glob tools to understand the current codebase
• Identify existing patterns, conventions, and dependencies
• Check git status to understand current state

2. **Task Breakdown**

• Decompose the main objective into specific, actionable tasks
• Each task should be completable within a reasonable timeframe
• Include both implementation and verification steps

3. **Create Todo List**

• Use TodoWrite tool to create a structured task list
• Set all tasks to "pending" status initially
• Include both content (imperative form) and activeForm (present continuous)
• Order tasks by logical dependency and priority

4. **Task Categorization**

• Implementation tasks (new features, bug fixes)
• Testing and verification tasks
• Documentation updates (if required)
• Build and deployment tasks

Task Planning Guidelines

• Make tasks specific and measurable
• Include prerequisite checks where needed
• Add validation steps after implementation
• Consider potential blockers and alternatives
• Ensure each task has clear completion criteria

Example Task Structure

For each task in the todo list:

• **content**: "Implement user authentication middleware"
• **activeForm**: "Implementing user authentication middleware"
• **status**: "pending"

Always start with research and analysis tasks before moving to implementation.
