SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of turning an unclear request into a concrete, trackable delegated task with steps, deadlines, and progress updates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task clarification: Collects the minimum necessary details (what to do, by when, and constraints) to act independently without over-interrogation.
  • Step-by-step decomposition: Breaks the delegated work into actionable checklist steps and persists the plan for ongoing use.
  • Ongoing tracking via routines and reminders: Sets up scheduled check-ins or event-triggered routines and heartbeat monitoring for deadlines or recurring needs.
  • User-context alignment: Reads USER.md preferences (proactivity level, communication style, focus areas) to match how updates are delivered.
