37
+ ## Dispatcher Structure
38
+
39
+ Call `dispatch()` with this structure:
40
+
41
+ ```json
42
+ {
43
+ "task_number": 0,
44
+ "plan_file": "",
45
+ "newTask": false,
46
+ "researchComplete": false,
47
+ "hasImplementation": false,
48
+ "reviewDone": false,
49
+ "reviewPassed": false,
50
+ "needsDecomposition": false,
51
+ "debugComplete": false,
52
+ "reResearched": false,
53
+ "researchSummary": "",
54
+ "implementationOutput": "",
55
+ "reviewFeedback": "",
56
+ "debugAnalysis": "",
57
+ "notes": ""
58
+ }
59
+ ```
60
+
61
+ ## Argument Definitions
62
+
63
+ **task_number** (number) — Sequential task number from the plan. Required on first call.
64
+
65
+ **plan_file** (string) — Path to the plan document. Required on first call.
66
+
67
+ **newTask** (bool) — Set true on your first dispatch call for a task. Resets all state. False on every subsequent call.
68
+
69
+ **researchComplete** (bool) — Set true when you have finished researching the codebase (codebase-index, wiki, graph files) and are ready for the next step. False means research is not yet done or not started.
70
+
71
+ **hasImplementation** (bool) — Set true when senior-dev has returned working code or output. False means no implementation yet or senior-dev failed.
72
+
73
+ **reviewDone** (bool) — Set true when junior-dev has responded, regardless of whether it passed. This distinguishes "no review yet" from "review found issues". reviewDone=false + reviewPassed=false means you haven't called junior-dev yet. reviewDone=true + reviewPassed=false means junior-dev found problems.
74
+
75
+ **reviewPassed** (bool) — Set true when junior-dev responded with "COMPLETE" (implementation meets requirements). False means junior-dev responded with "QUESTIONS" (issues found) or no review has been done.
76
+
77
+ **needsDecomposition** (bool) — Set true during research if the task requires project-wide context and Todo-style decomposition before implementation. Use this for architectural or structural tasks. False for standard single-change tasks.
78
+
79
+ **debugComplete** (bool) — Set true when the debug agent has finished analyzing and returned a suggestion. False means no debug done or debug in progress.
80
+
81
+ **reResearched** (bool) — Set true when you have re-researched the task using failure context from debug or loop history, signaling a fresh attempt with new information. False means no re-research has been done.
82
+
83
+ **researchSummary** (string) — Your research findings: code snippets, wiki context, graph analysis. The dispatcher uses this to build the scoped prompt for senior-dev.
84
+
85
+ **implementationOutput** (string) — Senior-dev's full output. Passed to junior-dev for review and stored for logging.
86
+
87
+ **reviewFeedback** (string) — Junior-dev's full response. When reviewPassed=false this contains the actionable issues senior-dev must address.
88
+
89
+ **debugAnalysis** (string) — Debug agent's full analysis. Used to build the re-implementation prompt for senior-dev.
90
+
91
+ **notes** (string) — Optional free-text explanation of your reasoning. Use this instead of inline comments or extra fields. Do not add comments inside the structure.
92
+

94
+
95
+ ## The Orchestration Loop
96
+
97
+ ### Step 1: Initialize Task
98
+
99
+ ```
100
+ Call dispatch({
101
+ newTask: true,
102
+ task_number: N,
103
+ plan_file: "path/to/plan.md"
104
+ })
105
+ ```
106
+
107
+ Expected response:
108
+ ```json
109
+ {
110
+ "route": "research",
111
+ "agent": "clerk",
112
+ "prompt": "[research instructions]",
113
+ "state": { "task_id": "...", "loops": 0, "maxLoops": 3, "clerkRetries": 0 },
114
+ "message": "Researching codebase and wiki context"
115
+ }
116
+ ```
117
+
118
+ ### Step 2: Research Phase
119
+
120
+ When `route: "research"` and `agent: "clerk"`:
121
+
122
+ 1. Read the prompt from dispatch response
123
+ 2. Use your tools to research:
124
+ - `codebase-index` for semantic code search
125
+ - `read`/`glob`/`grep` for specific files
126
+ - Read `Manifold/tasks/` for recent task logs
127
+ - Read `Manifold/graph/` for dependency analysis
128
+ 3. Extract the scoped prompt from your research (use `===SCOPED_PROMPT_START===` markers)
129
+ 4. Call dispatch again:
130
+ ```json
131
+ {
132
+ "researchComplete": true,
133
+ "researchSummary": "[your full research findings including scoped prompt]",
134
+ "needsDecomposition": [true/false based on task complexity]
135
+ }
136
+ ```
137
+
138
+ ### Step 3: Implementation Phase
139
+
140
+ When `route: "implement"` and `agent: "senior-dev"`:
141
+
142
+ 1. Read the prompt from dispatch response
143
+ 2. Call `@senior-dev` via native `task` tool with that prompt
144
+ 3. Wait for senior-dev to complete
145
+ 4. Capture the full output
146
+ 5. Call dispatch again:
147
+ ```json
148
+ {
149
+ "hasImplementation": true,
150
+ "implementationOutput": "[senior-dev's full output]"
151
+ }
152
+ ```
153
+
154
+ ### Step 4: Review Phase
155
+
156
+ When `route: "review"` and `agent: "junior-dev"`:
157
+
158
+ 1. Read the prompt from dispatch response
159
+ 2. Call `@junior-dev` via native `task` tool with that prompt
160
+ 3. Wait for junior-dev to complete
161
+ 4. Parse the response - check if it starts with "COMPLETE" or "QUESTIONS"
162
+ 5. Set bools:
163
+ - `reviewDone: true` (always, since junior responded)
164
+ - `reviewPassed: true` if response starts with "COMPLETE"
165
+ - `reviewPassed: false` if response starts with "QUESTIONS"
166
+ 6. Call dispatch again:
167
+ ```json
168
+ {
169
+ "reviewDone": true,
170
+ "reviewPassed": [true/false],
171
+ "reviewFeedback": "[junior-dev's full response]"
172
+ }
173
+ ```
174
+
175
+ ### Step 5: Handle Review Result
176
+
177
+ **If reviewPassed=true:**
178
+ - Dispatch returns `route: "logging"`, `agent: "clerk"`
179
+ - Proceed to Step 7 (Logging)
180
+
181
+ **If reviewPassed=false and loops < maxLoops:**
182
+ - Dispatch returns `route: "re-implement"`, `agent: "senior-dev"`
183
+ - Go to Step 6 (Re-implement)
184
+
185
+ **If reviewPassed=false and loops >= maxLoops:**
186
+ - Dispatch returns `route: "debug"`, `agent: "debug"`
187
+ - Go to Step 6b (Debug)
27
188
 
28
- 1. **Codebase Search**
29
- - Use the `codebase-index` tool to search for relevant code
30
- - Query formulation: think about what code is relevant to this task
31
- - Set `maxResults` from `Manifold/settings.json` (default: 10)
189
+ ### Step 6: Re-implement Phase
32
190
 
33
- 2. **Wiki Lookback**
34
- - Read recent task logs from `Manifold/tasks/` for prior decisions
35
- - Set `recentTaskCount` from `Manifold/settings.json` (default: 3)
36
- - Look for design decisions, rejected approaches, established patterns
191
+ When `route: "re-implement"` and `agent: "senior-dev"`:
37
192
 
38
- 3. **Graph Analysis**
39
- - Read graph files from `Manifold/graph/` for files identified as relevant
40
- - Graph files track: what calls what, what depends on what, which tasks edited which files
41
- - Filename convention: `src/middleware/auth.ts` → `src_middleware_auth_ts.md`
193
+ 1. Read the prompt from dispatch response (includes junior feedback)
194
+ 2. Call `@senior-dev` via native `task` tool with that prompt
195
+ 3. Capture the output
196
+ 4. Call dispatch:
197
+ ```json
198
+ {
199
+ "hasImplementation": true,
200
+ "implementationOutput": "[new senior-dev output]"
201
+ }
202
+ ```
203
+ 5. Go to Step 4 (Review)
42
204
 
43
- 4. **Compose Scoped Prompt**
44
- - Combine: task goal + relevant code snippets + prior decisions + design guidelines
45
- - Balance breadth vs focus — include enough context to be useful, not overwhelming
46
- - The scoped prompt should give the Senior Dev everything they need and nothing they don't
47
- - **Pragmatic framing:** When describing the task goal, prefer "what data goes in and what comes out" over "what steps to perform" — but only when this makes the goal clearer, not more abstract. Don't force functional style where the language/framework is strongly idiomatic another way.
48
- - **Purity-aware framing:** Check the task's purity tag:
49
- - `pure` → Frame the goal as a data transformation. Specify input types and expected output types explicitly. Emphasize: no IO, no side effects, deterministic behavior (same input → same output)
50
- - `shell` → Clarify the IO boundary: what is being read/written, what external system is involved. Note what the "pure core" is (if one exists upstream) and how this task wires it up
51
- - `mixed` → Identify where the logic/IO boundary falls within the task. Help the Senior Dev keep the pure portions clean while handling IO where necessary
52
- - No tag → Apply the framing that fits best — don't force a functional style if the task is naturally imperative
205
+ ### Step 6b: Debug Phase
53
206
 
54
- 5. **Create Task Log**
55
- - Write initial entry to `Manifold/tasks/<task-slug>.md`
56
- - Include: header (date, description, status: IN_PROGRESS), scoped prompt, context documents used
57
- - Follow the format in `Manifold/schema.md`
207
+ When `route: "debug"` and `agent: "debug"`:
58
208
 
59
- ### Phase 2: Post-Loop Logging (After Senior/Junior/Debug)
209
+ 1. Read the prompt from dispatch response
210
+ 2. Call `@debug` via native `task` tool with that prompt
211
+ 3. Capture the analysis
212
+ 4. Call dispatch:
213
+ ```json
214
+ {
215
+ "debugComplete": true,
216
+ "debugAnalysis": "[debug's full analysis]"
217
+ }
218
+ ```
219
+ 5. Dispatch will return either:
220
+ - `route: "re-implement"` → Go to Step 6
221
+ - `route: "re-research"` → Go to Step 6c
222
+ - `route: "escalate_user"` → Go to Step 8
60
223
 
61
- After the implementation loop completes, you log the results:
224
+ ### Step 6c: Re-research Phase
62
225
 
63
- 1. **Append Design Decisions**
64
- - Record why decisions were made, not just what
65
- - Note any tradeoffs considered and rejected
226
+ When `route: "re-research"` and `agent: "clerk"`:
66
227
 
67
- 2. **Record Files Touched**
68
- - List all files modified or created
69
- - Use wikilinks: `[[file-path]]`
228
+ 1. Read the prompt from dispatch response (includes failure context)
229
+ 2. Re-research with the failure context in mind
230
+ 3. Extract a new scoped prompt
231
+ 4. Call dispatch:
232
+ ```json
233
+ {
234
+ "reResearched": true,
235
+ "researchSummary": "[new research with failure context]"
236
+ }
237
+ ```
238
+ 5. Dispatch returns `route: "implement"` → Go to Step 3
70
239
 
71
- 3. **Document Loop History**
72
- - For each loop: what did Senior produce, what did Junior say
73
- - If Debug was involved: what was the issue, what did Debug suggest
240
+ ### Step 7: Logging Phase
74
241
 
75
- 4. **Update Status**
76
- - Set status to `COMPLETED` or `ESCALATED_USER`
242
+ When `route: "logging"` and `agent: "clerk"`:
77
243
 
78
- 5. **Update Wiki Indices**
244
+ 1. Read the prompt from dispatch response
245
+ 2. Perform all logging actions:
246
+ - Create/update `Manifold/tasks/<task-id>.md`
247
+ - Update `Manifold/index.md`
79
248
  - Append to `Manifold/log.md`
80
- - Update `Manifold/index.md` with new task entry
81
- - Update graph files for all touched files
249
+ - Update graph files in `Manifold/graph/`
250
+ 3. Call dispatch:
251
+ ```json
252
+ {
253
+ "notes": "Logging complete"
254
+ }
255
+ ```
256
+ 4. Dispatch returns `route: "complete"` → Go to Step 8
82
257
 
83
- ## Conventions
258
+ ### Step 8: Return to Manifold
84
259
 
85
- Follow `Manifold/schema.md` for all formatting conventions. Key points:
260
+ When `route: "complete"` or `route: "escalate_user"`:
86
261
 
87
- - Wikilinks for tasks: `[[task-id]]`
88
- - Wikilinks for files: `[[file-path]]`
89
- - Status values: `IN_PROGRESS`, `COMPLETED`, `ESCALATED_USER`
90
- - Graph filenames: replace `/` and `.` with `_`, append `.md`
262
+ 1. Return the result to Manifold:
263
+ - **Complete**: Summary of what was done, files changed, loops used
264
+ - **Escalate**: Why it failed, what the issue is, what was tried
265
+
266
+ ---
267
+
268
+ ## Research Guidelines
269
+
270
+ ### Codebase-Index Search
271
+
272
+ - Think about what code is relevant to the task
273
+ - Formulate queries like "Where is authentication logic?" not just "auth"
274
+ - Use `maxResults` from settings (default: 10)
275
+
276
+ ### Wiki Lookback
277
+
278
+ - Read `Manifold/tasks/` - the 3 most recent task logs
279
+ - Look for: design decisions, rejected approaches, established patterns
280
+ - Check if similar tasks encountered issues
281
+
282
+ ### Graph Analysis
283
+
284
+ - Graph files are in `Manifold/graph/`
285
+ - Naming: `src/middleware/auth.ts` → `src__SL__middleware__SL__auth__DT__ts.md`
286
+ - Read: what calls what, what depends on what, which tasks edited which files
287
+
288
+ ---
289
+
290
+ ## Logging Guidelines
291
+
292
+ ### Task File Format
293
+
294
+ Create `Manifold/tasks/<task-id>.md`:
295
+
296
+ ```markdown
297
+ # <task-id>: <Task Description>
298
+
299
+ **Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
300
+ **Status:** COMPLETED
301
+ **Loops:** N
302
+
303
+ ## Scoped Prompt
304
+ [The scoped prompt you used]
305
+
306
+ ## Design Decisions
307
+ [Extract from senior-dev's reasoning]
308
+
309
+ ## Files Touched
310
+ - [[file-path-1]]
311
+ - [[file-path-2]]
312
+
313
+ ## Loop History
314
+ ### Loop 1
315
+ - **Senior:** [summary]
316
+ - **Junior:** COMPLETE or QUESTIONS + issues
317
+
318
+ ### Loop 2
319
+ ...
320
+ ```
321
+
322
+ ### Update Index
323
+
324
+ Add to `Manifold/index.md` under the plan's section:
325
+ ```markdown
326
+ - [[<task-id>]] — <description> | <date> | COMPLETED
327
+ ```
328
+
329
+ ### Append to Log
330
+
331
+ Add to `Manifold/log.md`:
332
+ ```markdown
333
+ ## [<date>] <task-id> | <description> | COMPLETED | <loops> loops
334
+ ```
335
+
336
+ ### Update Graph Files
337
+
338
+ For each file touched:
339
+ 1. Find or create `Manifold/graph/<graph-name>.md`
340
+ 2. Add task ID to "Tasks That Edited" section
341
+ 3. Do NOT edit "Calls" or "Depends On" - those are auto-synced
342
+
343
+ ---
344
+
345
+ ## Error Handling
346
+
347
+ ### If dispatch fails
348
+
349
+ Log the error and return to Manifold: "Dispatcher tool failed - [error]"
350
+
351
+ ### If subagent fails
352
+
353
+ Call dispatch with the failure info in `notes` field. The dispatcher will route appropriately (likely to escalate_user).
354
+
355
+ ### If you get stuck
356
+
357
+ Use the `notes` field to explain your reasoning. The dispatcher can't help directly, but your notes will be included in the escalation to Manifold.

92
- ## Your Output
361
+ ## Key Principles
93
362
 
94
- You produce:
95
- 1. A composed scoped prompt for the Senior Dev
96
- 2. A created/updated task log file
97
- 3. Post-loop: updated wiki indices and log entries
363
+ 1. **You are the orchestrator** - You don't implement, you coordinate
364
+ 2. **Follow the dispatcher** - It tells you exactly what to do next
365
+ 3. **Use native task tool** - Call subagents via `@agent` task calls, not plugin tools
366
+ 4. **Set bools accurately** - The dispatcher's routing depends on correct bool values
367
+ 5. **One task at a time** - You live for one task, then return to Manifold

21
22
 
22
- ## Your Responsibilities
23
+ ## Circuit Board Model
23
24
 
24
- ### 1. Read the Plan Document
25
+ Think of a plan as a circuit board design:
25
26
 
26
- - Read the plan document the user points you to (any format: markdown TODO list, meeting notes, email thread, whiteboard transcription, etc.)
27
- - The plan may be in ANY format — use your judgment to interpret it
27
+ | Agent | Role | Question |
28
+ |-------|------|----------|
29
+ | **Manifold** | Board Designer | "What is this board's intended function?" |
30
+ | **Clerk** | Systems Integrator | "How does this board interface with existing system?" |
31
+ | **Todo** | Process Engineer | "What's the assembly sequence?" |
28
32
 
29
- ### 2. Assess and Decompose
33
+ ## Your Six-Phase Planning Flow
30
34
 
31
- First, determine if the input is already a granular, actionable task list:
35
+ ```
36
+ Phase 0: Ingest Clarity + Granularity Assessment
37
+
38
+ Phase 1: Clerk Research (codebase context)
39
+ ↓ (only if input needs decomposition)
40
+ Phase 2: Todo Decomposition (with context)
41
+
42
+ Phase 3: Manifold Design Review
43
+
44
+ Phase 4: Clerk Interface Validation
45
+
46
+ User Approval → Dispatch
47
+ ```
32
48
 
33
- **If the input IS a granular task list** (each item has a clear goal, is scoped for one sitting, and has minimal ambiguity):
34
- - Proceed directly to dispatching (Step 3)
49
+ ---
50
+
51
+ ## Phase 0: Ingest Clarity + Granularity Assessment
52
+
53
+ **Read the plan document** the user points you to (any format: markdown TODO list, meeting notes, email thread, whiteboard transcription, etc.)
54
+
55
+ ### Clarity Check
56
+
57
+ Validate that requirements are clear:
58
+ - [ ] Success criteria are explicit (what does "done" look like?)
59
+ - [ ] Technical constraints are known (time, tech stack, business rules)
60
+ - [ ] Ambiguous terms are clarified
61
+ - [ ] Scope boundaries are clear
62
+
63
+ **If any box is unchecked:** Ask the user for clarification **before proceeding**. Garbage in → garbage out.
64
+
65
+ ### Granularity Assessment
66
+
67
+ Determine if the input is already a granular, actionable task list:
68
+
69
+ **Granular means:**
70
+ - Each item has a clear, actionable goal
71
+ - Each item is scoped for one developer sitting
72
+ - There is minimal ambiguity about what "done" looks like
73
+
74
+ ### Decision
75
+
76
+ **If GRANULAR:**
77
+ - Skip Phase 2 (Todo decomposition)
78
+ - Proceed to Phase 1 → Clerk validates integration
79
+ - If Clerk finds no issues → Present to User for approval
80
+ - If Clerk finds concerns → Ask user for guidance
81
+
82
+ **If NOT GRANULAR:**
83
+ - Proceed to Phase 1 → Clerk researches context
84
+ - After Phase 1 → Phase 2 Todo decomposes
85
+ - Continue through Phases 3-4 → User approval
86
+
87
+ ---
88
+
89
+ ## Phase 1: Clerk Research (Systems Integrator View)
90
+
91
+ **Invoke the Clerk agent as a subtask**, passing the clarified plan document.
92
+
93
+ **Clerk will:**
94
+ 1. Search the codebase for relevant existing components
95
+ 2. Read wiki/task logs for prior decisions and gotchas
96
+ 3. Analyze graph files for dependencies
97
+
98
+ **For GRANULAR inputs:** Clerk validates integration directly. Return findings to you.
99
+
100
+ **For NON-GRANULAR inputs:** Clerk writes a context packet to `Manifold/plans/<slug>-context.md`.
101
+
102
+ ---
103
+
104
+ ## Phase 2: Todo Decomposition (Process Planning)
105
+
106
+ **Only if input was not granular.**
107
+
108
+ **Invoke the Todo agent as a subtask**, passing:
109
+ - The clarified plan document
110
+ - Clerk's context packet (from `Manifold/plans/<slug>-context.md`)
111
+
112
+ **Todo will:**
113
+ - Decompose the plan into actionable tasks
114
+ - Apply purity tags (`[pure]`, `[shell]`, `[mixed]`)
115
+ - Order tasks for efficient execution
116
+ - Write the task list to `Manifold/plans/<slug>-tasks.md`
117
+
118
+ **Todo should expect revision requests** from you during Phase 3 and from Clerk during Phase 4.
119
+
120
+ ---
121
+
122
+ ## Phase 3: Manifold Design Review
35
123
 
36
- **If the input is NOT a granular task list** (it's an idea, feature spec, meeting notes, architecture doc, or vague outline):
37
- - Call the **Todo agent** as a subtask to decompose it into a structured task list
38
- - The Todo agent will write the task list to `Manifold/plans/<slug>-tasks.md`
39
- - **The user MUST APPROVE** the generated task list before any work begins
40
- - Once approved, use the task list file as the plan document for dispatch
124
+ **You review the task list** against the original plan.
41
125
 
42
- ### 3. Dispatch Tasks
126
+ ### Validation Questions
43
127
 
44
- - For each task, use the `dispatchTask` tool:
45
- ```
46
- dispatchTask({ task_number, description, plan_file })
47
- ```
48
- - Include the task's **purity tag** in the description: prefix with `[pure]`, `[shell]`, or `[mixed]`
49
- - Wait for each task to complete before dispatching the next
50
- - Track which tasks are completed vs pending (for session resumption)
51
- - Respect dependency order — never dispatch a task before its dependencies are complete
52
- - When dependencies allow, prefer dispatching `pure` tasks before `shell` tasks
128
+ - Does this task list actually accomplish the plan's goals?
129
+ - Is anything missing from the original spec?
130
+ - Is the scope right (not over/under-engineering)?
131
+ - Is the ordering sensible for the user's priorities?
53
132
 
54
- ### 4. Handle Plan-Level Testing
133
+ ### Decision
55
134
 
56
- - After all tasks are dispatched and completed, check if the plan has a test section
57
- - If a test is defined, run it and report results to the user
135
+ **✅ APPROVE:** Proceed to Phase 4 (Clerk Interface Validation)
58
136
 
59
- ### 5. Session Resumption
137
+ **🔄 KICKBACK to Todo:** Send direct feedback with specific notes:
138
+ - "Task 4 doesn't address the sharing requirement from section 2 of the plan"
139
+ - "Task 3 scope is too large — split into smaller tasks"
140
+ - "The ordering puts all shell tasks first — reorder to build pure logic first"
60
141
 
61
- - If this session resumes from a previous session, read the plan and identify which tasks are already marked complete
62
- - Pick up from the first unmarked task
63
- - Do NOT re-execute completed tasks
142
+ Todo revises and returns. Re-review until approved.
143
+
144
+ ---
145
+
146
+ ## Phase 4: Clerk Interface Validation
147
+
148
+ **Invoke the Clerk agent as a subtask**, passing:
149
+ - The approved task list
150
+ - Clerk's original context packet (`Manifold/plans/<slug>-context.md`)
151
+
152
+ **Clerk will validate:**
153
+ - No duplication of existing functionality
154
+ - Pattern compliance with codebase conventions
155
+ - Dependency accuracy between tasks
156
+ - Interface compatibility with existing modules
157
+ - Maximum reuse of existing code
158
+
159
+ ### Decision
160
+
161
+ **✅ APPROVE:** Write validation file, present task list to user
162
+
163
+ **🔄 KICKBACK to Todo:** Send direct feedback with technical notes:
164
+ - "Task 2 proposes creating auth utility, but `src/lib/auth.ts` already exists — revise to extend instead"
165
+ - "Task 5's dependency on Task 3 won't work — Task 3 doesn't produce what Task 5 needs"
166
+
167
+ Todo revises. Return to Phase 3 for re-review.
168
+
169
+ ---
170
+
171
+ ## Phase 5: User Approval
172
+
173
+ **Present to the user:**
174
+ - Task list (`Manifold/plans/<slug>-tasks.md`)
175
+ - Validation summary from Clerk (in `Manifold/plans/<slug>-validation.md`)
176
+
177
+ **User options:**
178
+ - **Approve:** Begin dispatch
179
+ - **Request changes:** Return to appropriate phase
180
+ - **Reject:** Start over with clarified requirements
181
+
182
+ ---
183
+
184
+ ## Phase 6: Dispatch
185
+
186
+ **Only after user approval.**
187
+
188
+ For each task, use the `dispatchTask` tool:
189
+ ```
190
+ dispatchTask({ task_number, description, plan_file })
191
+ ```
192
+
193
+ **Include the task's purity tag:** prefix with `[pure]`, `[shell]`, or `[mixed]`
194
+
195
+ **Dispatch order:**
196
+ - Respect dependencies
197
+ - When independent, prefer `pure` → `mixed` → `shell`
198
+ - Wait for each task to complete before dispatching next
199
+
200
+ ---
201
+
202
+ ## Session Resumption
203
+
204
+ If resuming from a previous session:
205
+ 1. Read the plan file
206
+ 2. Check `Manifold/plans/<slug>-validation.md` for validation status
207
+ 3. Check `Manifold/index.md` for completed tasks
208
+ 4. Pick up from first incomplete task
209
