Task Plan Template

This is a template. It establishes no policy on its own. Copy it into work/active/ as a new file (name it descriptively, e.g. work/active/2026-07-10-shelfery-glossary-review.md) at the start of any nontrivial task, per ../../docs/ai/planning-and-work-logs.md.

Replace every bracketed placeholder. Delete this template notice once filled in.


Objective

[What outcome this task is meant to produce, in one or two sentences.]

Scope

[What is explicitly included in this task.]

Out of scope

[What is explicitly excluded, especially anything adjacent that might be tempting to "fix while in there" - see ../../docs/ai/editing-discipline.md.]

Applicable authority

[Which company/venture/product documents govern this work - link them. Note any precedence questions per ../../docs/governance/authority-and-inheritance.md.]

Files expected to change

[List paths. Update as the task evolves; do not let this drift silently out of sync with actual changes.]

Assumptions

[Explicit assumptions being made, and why. Anything load-bearing belongs here or in ../../docs/governance/assumptions-register.md.]

Risks

[What could go wrong, including any high-risk classification per ../../docs/ai/task-classification-and-routing.md that requires human review before this is considered done.]

Validation plan

[Which of python scripts/check.py, python -m unittest discover tests, manual review, or human approval this task requires before completion.]

Progress checklist

  • [ ] [Step one]
  • [ ] [Step two]
  • [ ] [Validation run and passing]
  • [ ] [Handoff notes written]

Decisions required

[Anything that needs a human decision, an ADR, or falls outside what an agent may resolve on its own - see ../../docs/ai/escalation-and-ambiguity.md.]

Handoff notes

[Filled in at the end - see handoff.md for the dedicated template. Summarize here if this plan is being archived rather than closed with a separate handoff document.]
