Process

  1. Analyze Requirements

    • What is the goal?
    • What are the constraints?
    • What resources are available?
  2. Break Down Tasks

    • Decompose into specific, actionable steps
    • Each task should be completable independently
    • Estimate relative complexity (small/medium/large)
  3. Create Task List

    • Use TodoWrite tool to track progress
    • Mark priorities and dependencies
    • Keep tasks granular
  4. Identify Risks

    • What could go wrong?
    • What are the unknowns?
    • What needs clarification?
