Task Workflow

A structured development workflow enforcing quality through planning, TDD, and code review.

Workflow Overview

Clarify → Plan → Approve → Implement (TDD) → PR → Review → Merge → Next Task

Phase 1: Clarification

Before any implementation, ask questions to clarify:

• Business requirements and goals
• UI/UX flow expectations
• Architecture decisions
• Technical constraints
• Ambiguous requirements

Do not proceed until requirements are clear.

Phase 2: Planning & Approval

1. Present a detailed plan with task breakdown
2. Keep tasks small and focused
3. Wait for explicit approval before starting
4. No implementation without approval

Phase 3: Task Tracking Setup

Set up Trello board (or similar) with columns:

• 📝 Backlog
• 📋 To Do
• 🔨 In Progress
• 🔍 Review
• ✅ Done

All tasks must be tracked on the board.

Phase 4: Implementation (Per Task)

For each task:

1. Move card to "In Progress"
2. Write tests first (TDD):
   • Define expected behavior in tests
   • Run tests (should fail)
   • Implement the feature
   • Run tests (should pass)
3. Commit after task completion
