Changes

Rebalances the hydration methodology across the skill, worker agent, and reviewer agent to favor outcome-level checkboxes over exhaustive implementation scripts.

Problem

Wave 1 tasks (TP-005, TP-006, TP-010) averaged ~65 min each. Analysis showed the biggest time sink was excessive plan hydration: workers expanding 2-bullet steps into 15+ micro-checkboxes, then reviewers demanding even more function-level detail before approving. The review system was catching real bugs, but the plan-hydration cycle was adding ~15-20 min per step.

Solution

  • Skill v1.1.0 (skills/create-taskplane-task/SKILL.md): Rewrote hydration section with 'Adaptive Planning, Not Exhaustive Scripting' philosophy, anti-pattern callouts, good/bad granularity examples
  • Worker agent (templates/agents/task-worker.md): 'One checkbox per meaningful outcome' replaces 'one per unit of work'; added calibration heuristic
  • Reviewer agent (templates/agents/task-reviewer.md): Added Plan Granularity Guidance section — ask for missing outcomes/risks/test intent, not function-level implementation checklists
  • Prompt/STATUS templates: Updated hydration banners
  • Pending tasks (TP-007, TP-009, TP-012): Updated banners; TP-007 Step 0 collapsed from 8 micro-checkboxes to 3 outcome-level items

Validation

  • 290/290 tests pass on feat/polyrepo-support (the shipped extension code is unchanged)
  • Pre-existing test failures on main (4 files) are unrelated to this change
  • CLI smoke: taskplane help + taskplane doctor clean
  • npm pack --dry-run confirms correct package contents

…implementation scripts

- Skill v1.1.0: rewrote hydration guidance with adaptive planning philosophy
- Worker agent: 'one checkbox per meaningful outcome' replaces 'one per unit of work'
- Reviewer agent: added plan granularity guidance to prevent over-specification demands
- Prompt/STATUS templates: updated hydration banners
- TP-007 Step 0: collapsed 8 micro-checkboxes to 3 outcome-level items
- TP-007/009/012: updated hydration banners for pending tasks
