+- When a run fails, diagnose before retrying. Read the output, check if the prompt was unclear, if the branch had conflicts, if the agent hit a known issue. Fix the root cause.

+**Branch strategy:**
+- Use ONE branch per initiative: \`feat/YC-2670-kanban-improvements\` \u2014 all tasks in the initiative push commits to this same branch

 **Before dispatching a task:**
 1. Run the task's \`--category\` command to retrieve context (architect plan, previous run output)
 2. Write a detailed \`--prompt\` with: task description, acceptance criteria, files to modify, and context from previous tasks in the initiative
