Todo Discipline

Hard gate: task list state must match reality before you claim completion.

Protocol

  1. Update finished items to completed (merge).
  2. Immediately re-read the list.
  3. Only then conclude.

Rules

  • One in_progress item at a time
  • Never empty-array merge
  • Read result beats stale merge echo

When

Complex multi-step work, multi-agent sessions, handovers.
