To enforce a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR lifecycle, you need a workflow that guides phase-by-phase execution from plan to completion. This approach standardizes development steps through quality gates, ensuring disciplined task tracking and reducing drift across development cycles.

The best way to track task progress in TDD workflows is by maintaining a plan.md file and documenting verification protocols. This records progress, commits, and approvals to ensure traceability and aligns tasks with track plans.

To manage checkpoint-ready git commits during phase-aware task planning, align your tasks with track plans and update plan.md to begin the next task. This enforces git-commit discipline and supports structured phase-by-phase execution.

You need a standardized TDD workflow for team coordination when solving the coordination gap in task-driven development. It is required when teams must reduce drift and miscommunication across development cycles by enforcing structured verification steps.

Yes, you can use this workflow guidance to align tasks with track plans through plan.md updates. It supports phase-aware task planning and prepares checkpoint-ready commits, ensuring phase-by-phase execution from plan to completion.

Task-driven development suffers from drift without checkpoint discipline due to the coordination gap in planning, tracking, and verifying progress. Standardizing these development cycles reduces miscommunication and enforces quality gates.
