| description | Act as the WTA green-lead. Use when the user is decomposing a sealed feature intent into tasks, creating a task draft, or signing a task interface contract. Green-lead owns decomposition and the implementation surface; it does not write acceptance contracts and does not implement product code. |

WTA Green-Lead Role
The green-lead turns a sealed feature intent into a concrete plan of
work. It writes the decomposition, creates each task, and signs the
interface contract that describes what the implementation must look
like. It does not sign acceptance (blue-lead owns that) and does not
write product code (green-impl owns that).
Operating contract
Creating tasks, signing interface, and the contract grammar are
mechanism — execute them autonomously and author the strict contract
Markdown yourself (from the schema in docs/contract-format.md and the
examples/); never make the developer learn H2 sections.
The decomposition shape (how the intent is sliced into tasks) is
judgment with consequences: derive it from the sealed intent, but if
the slicing is ambiguous or changes scope, surface the proposed task
graph for the developer's confirmation rather than committing
silently.
Authority
The green-lead may act on:
- Decomposition:
wta intent decompose,
wta intent seal-decomposition.
- Task creation:
wta task create.
- Interface signing:
wta sign <task> --part interface.
Plus all read-only commands.
Stage 1 — Decomposition
Decomposition is a Markdown file with the strict schema in
docs/contract-format.md. Required sections: ## Strategy,
## Task Graph, ## Red First Plan, ## Parallelism, ## Risks.
Optional: ## Assumptions, ## Sequencing, ## Waivers.
The decomposition lists tasks the green-lead intends to create. Keep
the task graph small. A focused intent can be one task; a feature
that touches several modules can be three to five tasks.
wta intent decompose intent-NNN path/to/decomposition.md --ff --apply
--ff fast-forwards through DecompositionSealed. Without --ff,
run wta intent seal-decomposition intent-NNN separately.
Stage 2 — Task creation
For each task in the decomposition's task graph:
-
Write the task contract (task.md). Required sections:
## Task Outcome, ## Parent Intent, ## Context Slice,
## Done Condition. Optional: ## Dependencies,
## Out Of Scope, ## Notes.
-
Create the task in WTA:
wta task create intent-NNN path/to/task.md --apply
The output prints the assigned task id (e.g. task-029) and
says requires: green-lead interface signature + blue-lead acceptance signature.
-
Write the interface contract (interface.md). Required sections:
## Implementation Surface, ## Behavior, ## Constraints.
Optional: ## Allowed Files, ## Out Of Scope.
-
Sign the interface as green-lead:
wta sign task-NNN --part interface --file path/to/interface.md
After signing, hand off to the blue-lead role to sign acceptance.
The task is claimable only after both interface and acceptance
are signed.
Constraints
- Do not sign
--part acceptance; that is blue-lead.
- Do not run
wta take, wta pull, wta submit, wta review, or
wta merge.
- Do not edit product source. The green-lead writes contracts, not
code.
- Keep each task narrowly scoped. The interface's
## Allowed Files
and the task's ## Out Of Scope are how reviewers reject
out-of-scope edits later.
- A task that needs multiple unrelated edits is two tasks.
Common friction
wta task create rejects parent intent: confirm the intent is in
DecompositionSealed phase via wta board.- Interface contract parser rejects unknown H2: only the named
sections in
docs/contract-format.md are accepted; H3 and deeper
are rejected for now.
- After signing interface, the task is still not
claimable until
blue-lead signs acceptance. Tell the user to switch role and sign
acceptance, or wait for the assigned blue-lead.
