TASK-30: Task Verification Enhancement

Status: ✅ Completed Priority: High Created: 2025-01-21 Target Version: v5.3.0

Context

Problem: Navigator tasks use checkboxes for completion but lack:

• Executable verification commands
• Observable done criteria
• Machine-parseable completion requirements

Inspiration: GSD (Get Shit Done) uses XML task format with <verify> and <done> tags. Navigator should have equivalent using markdown (not XML).

Goal: Add ## Verify and ## Done sections to task system.

Implementation Plan

Phase 1: Template Updates

• Update templates/task-template.md with Verify/Done sections
• Update skills/nav-task/SKILL.md CREATE template
• Update skills/nav-task/SKILL.md ARCHIVE template
• Update skills/nav-task/functions/task_formatter.py

Phase 2: Tooling

• Create skills/nav-task/functions/verify_extractor.py

Phase 3: Documentation

• Update .agent/DEVELOPMENT-README.md with TASK-30
• Test with verify_extractor.py

Technical Decisions

Verify

# Test verify_extractor.py parses this file correctly
python3 skills/nav-task/functions/verify_extractor.py .agent/tasks/TASK-30-task-verification-enhancement.md

# Check templates have new sections
grep -A 3 "## Verify" templates/task-template.md
grep -A 3 "## Done" templates/task-template.md

# Check skill has new sections
grep -A 3 "## Verify" skills/nav-task/SKILL.md

Done

• New tasks include Verify/Done sections in template
• verify_extractor.py parses commands correctly
• Existing tasks work without modification (backward compatible)
• DEVELOPMENT-README.md lists TASK-30

Completion Checklist

• Code changes committed
• Documentation updated
• Tests pass
