B-I65F-template-planning-structures-meta-tasks-that-expand-into
Status: closed/abandoned
A reusable planning template that, when instantiated for a feature or aspect, expands at creation time into a set of executable tasks — essentially a workflow expanded up front and filled in further as work proceeds.
One possible shape: a task that defines the creation of other tasks, passing information between them through artifacts (ADR documents, standards, etc.).
Key requirement: clear demarcation points (gates) where the user reviews and signs off before the next stage proceeds. Example pipeline:
- Definition — what do we want
- Research — prior art and approaches
- Prototypes — if appropriate
- Proposed APIs and code structure
- Implementation plan — potentially with phases
Closed 2026-08-16: absorbed by ledger phases E5 and E4 of D-VSLI-distributed-work-runner-architecture. Flowline is the authoring kit for multi-stage workflows, and human-gate placement is declared per process registration.
