SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Read parent task and role branch task, then validate alignment between them to ensure coherent task execution in harness sessions. Use at the start of generator/harness-evaluator workflows for role-based execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

Context loading for task alignment: loads parent and branch task definitions to compare objectives.
Alignment validation: detects mismatches and recommends corrective actions before execution.
Role-aware workflow: supports producer and auditor roles to maintain consistent goals across hands-off handoffs.

Quick Start

Kick off the read-task workflow at the start of a harness session to load the parent and branch tasks and validate their alignment.

FAQPage Schema

How do I validate task alignment between parent and branch roles in a workflow?▼

Task alignment validation reads parent and branch task files to compare objectives, detecting mismatches and recommending corrective actions before execution. It ensures coherent goals across producer and auditor roles during harness sessions.

What is scope drift prevention in generator and evaluator harness sessions?▼

Scope drift prevention in harness sessions compares parent and branch task objectives to ensure consistent goals across producer and auditor roles. It detects misalignments and reports actionable next steps to maintain coherent execution.

When do I need to check parent and branch task alignment before execution?▼

You need to check parent and branch task alignment at the start of generator or harness-evaluator workflows. Loading and comparing task definitions early prevents scope drift and ensures role-based execution maintains consistent objectives.

How to detect mismatches between parent tasks and role-specific branch tasks?▼

Detect mismatches by reading parent and branch task files and comparing their objectives. The read-task workflow validates alignment, reports the status, and provides actionable next steps to correct any detected scope drift.

Does task alignment validation work for both producer and auditor roles?▼

Task alignment validation supports both producer and auditor roles by maintaining consistent goals across handoffs. It applies during generator and evaluator harness sessions to ensure coherent execution regardless of the specific role.

What are the limitations of automated role-based task alignment checks?▼

Automated task alignment checks rely on reading parent and branch task files to compare objectives. If task definitions lack clear role-specific details or objectives are ambiguously written, the alignment validation may not detect subtle scope drift effectively.
