Task Workflow

A structured development workflow enforcing quality through planning, TDD, and code review.

Workflow Overview

Clarify → Plan → Approve → Implement (TDD) → PR → Review → Merge → Next Task

Phase 1: Clarification

Before any implementation, ask questions to clarify:

Business requirements and goals
UI/UX flow expectations
Architecture decisions
Technical constraints
Ambiguous requirements

Do not proceed until requirements are clear.

Phase 2: Planning & Approval

Present a detailed plan with task breakdown
Keep tasks small and focused
Wait for explicit approval before starting
No implementation without approval

Phase 3: Task Tracking Setup

Set up Trello board (or similar) with columns:

📝 Backlog
📋 To Do
🔨 In Progress
🔍 Review
✅ Done

All tasks must be tracked on the board.

Phase 4: Implementation (Per Task)

For each task:

Move card to "In Progress"
Write tests first (TDD):
- Define expected behavior in tests
- Run tests (should fail)
- Implement the feature
- Run tests (should pass)
Commit after task completion
Tests may be skipped only with explicit approval

Phase 5: Branching & PR Policy

Rules:

Never push directly to
```
main
```
Never change the default branch —
```
main
```
must always remain default
Create feature branches for each task

After task completion:

Open PR from task branch →
```
main
```
Include Trello task link in PR description
Move card to "Review"
Notify Reviewer with both Trello link and PR link

Phase 6: PR Feedback Loop

When CR comments arrive:

Move task back to "In Progress"
Address all review comments
Push fixes
Notify Reviewer to re-review (include both links)

Repeat until approved.

Phase 7: Merge Gate

Only pick the next task after current PR is merged
Move completed card to "Done"
Then proceed to next task from "To Do"

New Project Bootstrap

For new projects:

Create repository with initial README
Push to remote
Then begin implementation tasks

Key Principles

Quality over speed — TDD catches bugs early
Small tasks — easier to review and merge
Clear communication — always notify reviewers
No shortcuts — follow the process every time
