Agent Task Checklist Management

MANDATORY DIRECTIVE: You MUST maintain a task.md file for all complex projects.

Core Rules (Strict Enforcement)

1. Granularity: Break down complex projects into atomic, actionable steps.
2. Notation: Use exact markdown notation for task states:
   • [ ] : Uncompleted
   • [/] : In-Progress
   • [x] : Completed
3. Transparency: Frequent, incremental updates to task.md are NON-NEGOTIABLE. Reflect state changes immediately upon starting or finishing a step.
