Planning and Checkpoints

• When work spans multiple steps or has ambiguity, write a brief plan.
• Steps are 1 sentence, action‑oriented, and verifiable.
• Keep exactly one in_progress step; mark completed before moving on.
• Update the plan when reality changes; add rationale for plan changes.
• Don’t pad trivial tasks with plans.

Progress updates

• For longer tasks, share concise updates (≤10 words) before heavy work.
• State what’s done, what’s next, and any blockers.
