Turn a complex development or research goal into a living work map, decompose it into stages and tasks, identify dependencies and parallel tracks, assign and adapt sub-sessions, follow work to completion, and prevent over-engineering. Use when Codex is asked to act as a meta director, create or maintain a development map or work plan, coordinate multiple workstreams or sessions, continue an existing multi-stage project, or keep execution aligned with the original goal. Do not use for a simple one-step task unless explicitly requested.
