track-management

Track management coordinates software development tracks end-to-end by applying lifecycle markers, generating spec.md and plan.md artifacts, and maintaining a central tracks.md registry to govern tasks and statuses. It enforces consistent track IDs for full traceability.

Organizing feature specs and plans is handled by generating structured spec.md and plan.md files for each track. This approach turns features and refactors into governed tracks with defined milestones and standardized metadata.

Creating a central registry involves maintaining a tracks.md file that records track IDs and lifecycle markers. This registry coordinates all development tasks and their current statuses across the project workflow.

Standardized metadata generation supports both features and bug fixes by creating consistent spec.md, plan.md, tracks.md, and metadata.json artifacts. This enforces uniform track IDs and lifecycle markers across all development work.

Track management operates independently with no external dependencies. It uses internal lifecycle operations and metadata generation to coordinate tasks, statuses, and the tracks registry without requiring additional project management tools.

Lifecycle markers in the tracks registry should be updated whenever a development track changes status, from creation through completion. This ensures the tracks.md registry accurately reflects current task progress and maintains traceability.
