Task Planning And PR Protocol

Purpose

Make agent work auditable from plan through PR by standardizing validation, risks, docs, tests, rollback, and follow-ups.

Inspect First

• existing PR templates, review rubrics, task docs, AGENTS.md, validation scripts, release docs, and project-specific contribution rules

Procedure

1. Define task protocol.

   • Planning expectations.
   • Validation evidence.
   • Test and docs update rules.
   • Risk and rollback notes.
   • For broad, risky, dependency, data, auth, CI, or user-facing behavior changes, route pre-implementation inspection through $pre-edit-investigation-gate.

2. Add PR structure.

   • .github/pull_request_template.md
   • docs/development/task-protocol.md
   • docs/development/review-rubric.md

3. Align reviewers.

   • Use agent-reviewer categories P0-P3.
   • Use $agent-reviewer categories P0-P3.
   • Include release and migration notes when relevant.

4. Keep it usable.

   • Templates should be short enough to fill out honestly.
   • Avoid ceremony for tiny changes unless risk is non-trivial.

Validation

• Confirm PR template includes summary, validation, tests, docs, risks, rollback, and follow-ups.
• Confirm task protocol points to real commands.

Completion Criteria

• Agent-generated PRs include enough evidence for review without requiring archaeology.
