follow-up-tasks

To generate follow-up tasks, the helper proposes up to three high-impact items linked to the parent task, each requiring a title, a category like tech_debt or test_gaps, and a concise description to extend work before closure.

Structured follow-up task management is the process of formalizing remaining project work into categorized items like incomplete_scope or next_steps, ensuring nothing is overlooked before a task is marked complete.

Yes, you can use this for software development, documentation, and research projects. It applies to any project task where related tasks exist beyond the initial deliverable and need to be linked to the parent task.

You can assign follow-up tasks to four allowed category slugs: incomplete_scope, next_steps, tech_debt, or test_gaps. Each category helps classify the nature of the remaining work.

The best way to write follow-up titles for non-technical stakeholders is to follow the built-in quality guidance, ensuring every title is understandable by emphasizing clear wording and impact.

Linking follow-up tasks maintains a coherent task hierarchy and traceability by connecting each proposed item directly to the parent task, ensuring extended work is tracked within the project workflow.
