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.]
