Managing task dependencies for AI agent workflows is done by visually representing blockers and dependencies within markdown task files. This structure helps agents understand execution order and track planned tasks.

How do I set up a project plan that an AI agent can follow and track?▼

To set up an AI-consumable project plan, initialize a tasks/ directory with markdown checkboxes. This creates structured task lists categorized into active and planned sections that agents can read and update.
