work/active/¶
This directory is normally empty. It holds work plans that are currently being executed — nothing else belongs here.
Conventions¶
- Each active plan is a single markdown file, started from
work/templates/task-plan.md. - Name files descriptively and date-prefixed, e.g.:
work/active/2026-07-10-example-task.md - One plan per file. Do not batch unrelated work into a single plan.
- Keep the plan's status and notes current as work progresses — a stale plan is worse than no plan.
When work finishes¶
Do not leave a finished plan in this directory. Move it to
work/archive/ if it has lasting record value, or
delete it if it was purely mechanical.
Sensitive data¶
Do not commit secrets, credentials, API keys, customer data, or other sensitive information into any file in this directory. Work plans are plain markdown committed to the repository's history — treat them accordingly.
