Description
Problem Statement
The default tasks-template.md lists tasks sequentially with no dependency metadata. Agents cannot determine which tasks are independent and safe to run concurrently.
Proposed Solution
Add three constructs to the tasks template:
1. (depends on ...) suffix on each task
- [ ] T001 Create project structure
- [ ] T002 Initialize project with dependencies (depends on T001)
- [ ] T003 Configure linting tools (depends on T001)Tasks with no dependencies omit the suffix. This is required for any task that depends on another.
2. Dependency DAG section at the bottom of tasks.md
## Dependencies & Execution Order
Wave 1: T001 (no deps)
Wave 2: T002, T003 (T001 done → parallel)
Wave 3: T004, T005, T006 (T002 done → parallel agents)
