- Check against outline
- Verify examples work
- Test any templates/prompts
- Assign confidence score
-
Document in task log (optional but helpful)
-
Commit to Git
git add .
git commit -m "Complete task X.X: [Task Name]"
git push- Move to next task
Each chapter should score:
- Critical chapters (5, 7, 8, 13, 17): 9/10 minimum
- Important chapters (3, 4, 6, 14, 15): 8/10 minimum
- Supporting chapters (rest): 7/10 acceptable
