| description | Convert an execution-ready prompt into a concrete task backlog with sequence, ownership, dependencies, and validation steps. Use after prompt generation and before orchestration. |
Task Generator
Overview
Transform a prompt into an actionable task list that an orchestrator can execute safely.
Required Inputs
- Final prompt from
$codex-prompt-generator
- Repository scope and constraints
- Acceptance criteria and validation commands
Workflow
- Parse objective, scope, constraints, and acceptance criteria.
- Split work into atomic tasks with one clear output each.
- Add dependency order and identify parallel-safe tasks.
- Attach validation per task (tests, typecheck, lint, manual checks).
- Mark blockers, risks, and unknowns explicitly.
- Include a simplicity/readability check against
docs/architecture/KARPATHY_CODING_GUIDELINES.md.
Output Contract
Return only this structure:
Task Plan:
1. <task title>
- Owner: <role or skill>
- Inputs: <required inputs>
- Outputs: <expected artifacts>
- Dependencies: <task ids or none>
- Validation: <commands/checks>
- Risk: <low|medium|high + note>
Execution Order:
1. <ordered sequence with optional parallel groups>
Blockers:
- <blocker or none>
Missing Required Inputs:
- <missing input list or none>
Rules
- Keep tasks minimal, verifiable, and ordered.
- Do not skip validation requirements from the source prompt.
- Do not invent missing details; if required inputs are missing, return blockers and stop.
- Do not start implementation; produce plan-ready tasks only.
