Design Checklist
Generates a structured acceptance checklist for a task/objective before execution begins.
The checklist is sent to the Orchestrator (or user) for alignment and approval.
Once approved, the TL uses it during verify-output after workers complete the task.
Flow
1. TL receives objective from Orchestrator
2. TL runs design-checklist → generates checklist.json
3. Checklist sent to Orchestrator for approval
4. Orchestrator approves/adjusts → POST /api/task-management/:taskId/checklist/approve
5. TL proceeds with decompose-goal + delegate-task
6. Workers complete → TL runs verify-output with approved checklist
Usage
bash {{SKILLS_PATH}}/team-leader/design-checklist/execute.sh \
--objective "Build user authentication" \
--project-path /path/to/project \
--task-id task-123 \
[--team-id team-456] \
[--mission-id mission-789]
