Task Management

TASKS.md master index

Single source of truth for all work items

Individual task files

tasks/ folder with spec, acceptance criteria, status history

Status lifecycle

Quality Gates

Adversarial implement/verify split

The agent that writes code cannot mark it done

@g-go-code implement command

Structured autonomous implementation loop

@g-go-review verify command

Independent verification in a fresh session

Acceptance criteria gate

Agent walks every AC item before marking [🔍]

Bug-discovery gate

Pre-existing bugs must be logged before task can close

Stub/TODO scan

Implementation scanner blocks tasks with unresolved TODOs
