Discountedcookie 10x Mapmaster Task Planning

Task Planning

Break approved work into bite-sized, unambiguous tasks.

Announce: "I'm using task-planning to create detailed implementation tasks."

Iron Law

EACH TASK MUST BE COMPLETABLE IN 2-5 MINUTES WITH ZERO CONTEXT

Assume the implementing agent:

• Has never seen this codebase
• Doesn't know your reasoning
• Will follow instructions literally
• Needs exact file paths and code

Task Structure

### Task N.M: [Specific action]

**Files:**
- Create: `exact/path/to/new-file.ts`
- Modify: `exact/path/to/existing.ts:42-58`
- Test: `exact/path/to/test.spec.ts`

**Step 1: Write failing test**

```typescript
// exact code to add
test('specific behavior', () => {
  const result = functionName(input);
  expect(result).toBe(expected);
});

Step 2: Verify test fails

Run: bun test path/to/test.spec.ts Expected: FAIL with "functionName is not defined"

Step 3: Implement

// exact code to add
export function functionName(input: Type): ReturnType {
  return expected;
}

Step 4: Verify test passes

Run: bun test path/to/test.spec.ts Expected: PASS

Step 5: Commit

git add path/to/files
git commit -m "feat(scope): specific change"

## Task Categories

Group tasks by domain:

```markdown
## 1. Database Schema
- [ ] 1.1 Add column X to table Y
- [ ] 1.2 Create RLS policy for Z

## 2. Database Functions
- [ ] 2.1 Create function A
- [ ] 2.2 Modify function B

## 3. Frontend Components
- [ ] 3.1 Create component X
- [ ] 3.2 Update store Y

## 4. Integration
- [ ] 4.1 Wire frontend to new function
- [ ] 4.2 Add E2E test

Task Ordering

1. Database first - Schema, then functions
2. Tests alongside - Each implementation task includes test
3. Frontend after backend - Don't build UI for non-existent data
4. Integration last - Wire things together

Verification Commands

Every task includes verification:

REQUIRED SUB-SKILL

Tasks ready → Load openspec-apply to begin implementation

Each code task → Load test-tdd for the implementation

Red Flags - STOP

If you catch yourself:

• Writing tasks like "implement the feature"
• Missing exact file paths
• Missing verification steps
• Tasks longer than 5 minutes
• Skipping test steps

STOP. Break it down further.
