harden-task-file

To harden task files for one-shot prompt quality, apply an iterative process enforcing orthogonality analysis, explicit acceptance criteria, and convergence checks. This guarantees complete coverage and prevents missing dimensions in task guidance files.

Orthogonality analysis maps every task file item to independent dimensions to prevent redundancy. It ensures each risk, scenario, and trade-off section remains distinct, tightening quality gates and eliminating overlapping definitions.

Enforce convergence checks by logging per-round iterations, proposing user-approved additions, and running prompt reviews. A final validation ensures no missing dimensions remain, guaranteeing the task file meets complete coverage acceptance criteria.

Yes, you can apply task file hardening to any domain-specific manifest. It reusably tightens quality gates, risks, scenarios, and trade-offs across diverse domains by iteratively refining explicit acceptance criteria until coverage is complete.

The best way to define explicit acceptance criteria is through a structured iteration loop proposing user-approved additions and running prompt reviews. This enforces per-round logging and validates that all coverage dimensions are fully satisfied.
