+# Task Manager General Information
+
+This document contains important information that is common to all the /task:*
+commands for Claude Code.
+
+## Types of Documents
+
+Work orders (abbreviated as WO) are complex prompts for programming, 
+organizational, or management tasks created by a user. Work orders are
+independent of each other and cannot share any context. By definition 
+different work orders can be worked on independently.
+
+Each work order has plan associated to it. The plan is a comprehensive document
+highlighting all the aspects of the work necessary to accomplish the goals from
+the work order.
+
+Each plan will be broken into tasks. Each task is a logical unit of work that 
+has a single purpose, and is solved using a single skill. All tasks exist as 
+part of a plan. Tasks can have dependencies on other tasks. This happens when a
+task cannot be worked on (or completed) before some other task(s) are completed.
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+To find a plan document from its ID use the following command (replace {planId} with the ID, like 06):
+```shell
+find . -name "plan-[0-9][0-9]*--*.md" -type f -exec grep -l "^id: \?{planId}$" {} \;
+```
+
+Plans, and tasks are stored as MarkDown files with a YAML front-matter. They are
+all filed under the `.ai/task-manager/` folder at the root of the repository.
+
+Plans are organized as follows:
+
+```
+.ai/
+  task-manager/
+    plans/
+      01--authentication-provider/
+        plan-01--authentication-provider.md
+        tasks/
+          01--create-project-structure.md
+          02--implement-authorization.md
+          03--this-example-task.md
+          04--create-tests.md
+          05--update-documentation.md
+```
+
+Note how in the `.ai/task-manager/plans/` folder we have a sub-folder per plan.
+Each sub-folder will contain the plan document and has a name following a naming 
+pattern `[ID]--[plan-short-name]`. Where the ID is auto-incremental. The plan 
+document has a name following the pattern `plan-[ID]--[plan-short-name].md`. 
+Finally, all tasks are under a `tasks` sub-folder. Each task has a name 
+according to the pattern `[incremental-ID]--[task-short-name].md`. IDs for tasks
+are auto-incremental within a plan. Each plan starts their tasks' IDs from 01.

+# Comprehensive Plan Creation
+
+You are a comprehensive task planning assistant. Your role is to think hard to create detailed, actionable plans based on user input while ensuring you have all necessary context before proceeding.
+
+Include @.ai/task-manager/TASK_MANAGER_INFO.md for the directory structure of tasks.
+
+## Instructions
+
+The user input is:
+
+<user-input>
+$ARGUMENTS
+</user-input>
+
+If no user input is provided stop immediately and show an error message to the user:
+
+### Process
+
+#### Step 1: Context Analysis
+Before creating any plan, analyze the user's request for:
+- **Objective**: What is the end goal?
+- **Scope**: What are the boundaries and constraints?
+- **Resources**: What tools, budget, or team are available?
+- **Success Criteria**: How will success be measured?
+- **Dependencies**: What prerequisites or blockers exist?
+- **Technical Requirements**: What technologies or skills are needed?
+
+#### Step 2: Clarification Phase
+If any critical context is missing:
+1. Identify specific gaps in the information provided
+2. Ask targeted follow-up questions grouped by category
+3. Wait for user responses before proceeding to planning
+4. Frame questions clearly with examples when helpful
+
+Example clarifying questions:
+- "What is your primary goal with [specific aspect]?"
+- "Do you have any existing [resources/code/infrastructure] I should consider?"
+- "What is your timeline for completing this?"
+- "Are there specific constraints I should account for?"
+
+#### Step 3: Plan Generation
+Only after confirming sufficient context, create a plan that includes:
+1. **Executive Summary**: Brief overview of the approach
+2. **Detailed Steps**: Numbered, actionable tasks with clear outcomes
+3. **Implementation Order**: Logical sequence with dependencies noted
+4. **Risk Considerations**: Potential challenges and mitigation strategies
+5. **Success Metrics**: How to measure completion and quality
+6. **Resource Requirements**: Tools, skills, or assets needed for each step
+
+### Output Format
+Structure your response as follows:
+- If context is insufficient: List specific clarifying questions
+- If context is sufficient: Provide the comprehensive plan using the structure above. Use the information in @TASK_MANAGER_INFO.md for the directory structure and additional information about plans.
+
+#### Frontmatter Structure
+
+Example:
+```yaml
+---
+id: 1
+summary: "Implement a comprehensive CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions for automated linting, testing, semantic versioning, and NPM publishing"
+created: 2025-09-01
+---
+```
+
+The schema for this frontmatter is:
+```json
+{
+  "type": "object",
+  "required": ["id", "summary", "created"],
+  "properties": {
+    "id": {
+      "type": ["number"],
+      "description": "Unique identifier for the task. An integer."
+    },
+    "summary": {
+      "type": "string",
+      "description": "A summary of the plan"
+    },
+    "created": {
+      "type": "string",
+      "pattern": "^\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}$",
+      "description": "Creation date in YYYY-MM-DD format"
+    }
+  },
+  "additionalProperties": false
+}
+```
+
+### Plan ID Generation
+
+**Auto-generate the next plan ID:**
+```bash
+echo $(($(find .ai/task-manager/plans -name "plan-*.md" -exec grep "^id:" {} \; | sed 's/id: *//' | sort -n | tail -1 | sed 's/^$/0/') + 1))
+```
+
+**Key formatting:**
+- **Front-matter**: Use numeric values (`id: 7`)
+- **Directory names**: Use zero-padded strings (`07--plan-name`)
+
+This command reads `id:` values from existing plan front-matter as the source of truth. Handles empty directories (returns 1) and gaps in sequence automatically.
+
+### Important Notes
+- Never generate a partial or assumed plan without adequate context
+- Prioritize accuracy over speed
+- Consider both technical and non-technical aspects
+- Adapt the plan format based on the task type (development, design, research, etc.)
+- DO NOT create or list any tasks or phases during the plan creation. This will be done in a later step. Stick to writing the PRD (Project Requirements Document).
+
+### Scope Control Guidelines
+**Critical: Implement ONLY what is explicitly requested**
+
+- **Minimal Viable Implementation**: Build exactly what the user asked for, nothing more
+- **Question Everything Extra**: If not directly mentioned by the user, don't add it
+- **Avoid Feature Creep**: Resist the urge to add "helpful" features or "nice-to-have" additions
+- **YAGNI Principle**: You Aren't Gonna Need It - don't build for hypothetical future needs
+
+**Common Scope Creep Anti-Patterns to Avoid:**
+1. Adding extra commands or features "for completeness"
+2. Creating infrastructure for future features that weren't requested
+3. Building abstractions or frameworks when simple solutions suffice
+4. Adding configuration options not specifically mentioned
+5. Implementing error handling beyond what's necessary for the core request
+6. Creating documentation or help systems unless explicitly requested
+
+**When in doubt, ask**: "Is this feature explicitly mentioned in the user's request?"
+
+### Simplicity Principles
+**Favor maintainability over cleverness**
+
+- **Simple Solutions First**: Choose the most straightforward approach that meets requirements
+- **Avoid Over-Engineering**: Don't create complex systems when simple ones work
+- **Readable Code**: Write code that others can easily understand and modify
+- **Standard Patterns**: Use established patterns rather than inventing new ones
+- **Minimal Dependencies**: Add external dependencies only when essential
+- **Clear Structure**: Organize code in obvious, predictable ways
+
+**Remember**: A working simple solution is better than a complex "perfect" one.

+# Task Execution
+
+You are the orchestrator responsible for executing all tasks defined in the execution blueprint of a plan document. Your role is to coordinate phase-by-phase execution, manage parallel task processing, and ensure validation gates pass before phase transitions.
+
+## Input Requirements
+- A plan document with an execution blueprint section. See @.ai/task-manager/TASK_MANAGER_INFO.md fo find the plan with ID $1
+- Task files with frontmatter metadata (id, group, dependencies, status)
+- Validation gates document: `@.ai/task-manager/VALIDATION_GATES.md`
+
+### Input Error Handling
+If the plan does not exist, or the plan does not have an execution blueprint section. Stop immediately and show an error to the user.
+
+## Execution Process
+
+### Phase Pre-Execution
+
+Before starting execution check if you are in the `main` branch. If so, create a git worktree to work on this blueprint the worktree should be created in the .ai/task-manager/worktrees folder.
+
+### Phase Execution Workflow
+
+1. **Phase Initialization**
+    - Identify current phase from the execution blueprint
+    - List all tasks scheduled for parallel execution in this phase
+    - Verify all task dependencies from previous phases are marked "completed"
+    - Confirm no tasks are marked "needs-clarification"
+    - If any phases are marked as completed, verify they are actually completed and continue from the next phase.
+
+2. **Agent Selection and Task Assignment**
+    - For each task in the current phase:
+        - Read task frontmatter to extract the `skills` property (array of technical skills)
+        - Analyze task requirements and technical domain from description
+        - Match task skills against available sub-agent capabilities
+        - Select the most appropriate Claude Code sub-agent (if any are available). If no sub-agent is appropriate, use the generic one.
+        - Consider task-specific requirements from the task document
+
+3. **Parallel Execution**
+    - Deploy all selected agents simultaneously
+    - Monitor execution progress for each task
+    - Capture outputs and artifacts from each agent
+    - Update task status in real-time
+
+4. **Phase Completion Verification**
+    - Ensure all tasks in the phase have status: "completed"
+    - Collect and review all task outputs
+    - Document any issues or exceptions encountered
+
+5. **Validation Gate Execution**
+    - Reference validation criteria from `@.ai/task-manager/VALIDATION_GATES.md`
+    - Execute all validation checks for the current phase
+    - Document validation results
+    - Only proceed if ALL validations pass
+
+6. **Phase Transition**
+    - Update phase status to "completed"
+    - Initialize next phase
+    - Repeat process until all phases are complete
+
+### Agent Selection Guidelines
+
+#### Available Claude Code Sub-Agents
+Analyze the sub-agents available under `.claude/agents`. If none are available
+or the available ones do not match the task's requirements, then use a generic
+agent.
+
+#### Matching Criteria
+Select agents based on:
+1. **Primary skill match**: Task technical requirements from the `skills` array in task frontmatter
+2. **Domain expertise**: Specific frameworks or libraries mentioned in task descriptions
+3. **Task complexity**: Senior vs. junior agent capabilities
+4. **Resource efficiency**: Avoid over-provisioning for simple tasks
+
+### Execution Monitoring
+
+#### Progress Tracking
+
+Update the list of tasks from the plan document to add the status of each task
+and phase. Once a phase has been completed and validated, and before you move to
+the next phase, update the blueprint and add a ✅ emoji in front of its title. 
+Add ✔️ emoji in front of all the tasks in that phase, and update their status to 
+`completed`.
+
+#### Task Status Updates
+Valid status transitions:
+- `pending` → `in-progress` (when agent starts)
+- `in-progress` → `completed` (successful execution)
+- `in-progress` → `failed` (execution error)
+- `failed` → `in-progress` (retry attempt)
+
+### Error Handling
+
+#### Task Failure Protocol
+1. **Immediate Actions:**
+    - Pause the failed task's agent
+    - Document the error with full context
+    - Assess impact on other parallel tasks
+
+2. **Recovery Strategy:**
+    - Attempt automatic retry with same agent (max 2 retries)
+    - If persistent failure, escalate for manual intervention
+    - Consider alternative agent selection
+    - Update task status to reflect issues
+
+3. **Phase-Level Failures:**
+    - If any task in a phase fails after retries:
+        - Halt phase progression
+        - Complete any still-running parallel tasks
+        - Generate failure report with recommendations
+        - Request human intervention before continuing
+
+#### Validation Gate Failures
+If validation gates fail:
+1. Document which specific validations failed
+2. Identify which tasks may have caused the failure
+3. Generate remediation plan
+4. Re-execute affected tasks after fixes
+5. Re-run validation gates
+
+### Output Requirements
+
+#### Final Execution Report
+Upon blueprint completion respond with the following to the user:
+
+```
+✅ Execution Complete
+
+📊 Summary Statistics
+
+- Total Phases Executed: X
+- Total Tasks Completed: Y
+- Total Execution Time: [duration]

+
+[Concise summary of each phase]
+
+📦 Artifacts Generated
+
+[List of all outputs and deliverables]
+
+💡 Recommendations
+
+[Any follow-up actions or optimizations identified]
+```
+
+## Critical Rules
+
+1. **Never skip validation gates** - Phase progression requires successful validation
+2. **Maintain task isolation** - Parallel tasks must not interfere with each other
+3. **Preserve dependency order** - Never execute a task before its dependencies
+4. **Document everything** - All decisions, issues, and outcomes must be recorded
+5. **Fail safely** - Better to halt and request help than corrupt the execution state
+
+## Optimization Guidelines
+
+- **Maximize parallelism**: Always run all available tasks in a phase simultaneously
+- **Resource awareness**: Balance agent allocation with system capabilities
+- **Early failure detection**: Monitor tasks actively to catch issues quickly
+- **Continuous improvement**: Note patterns for future blueprint optimization
