1# Plans to tasks23Keep small, cohesive work on its current ordinary task with one end-to-end owner.4A plan's steps, files, and phases do not each need a task.56Create a separate task only for a useful boundary: another owner or permission,7independent parallel output, a real prerequisite, independent review, or substantial8follow-up that needs its own lifecycle. Check the available agents before assigning.9Give each delegate enough context and a clear deliverable to work independently.10People read these descriptions: reference other tasks and documents with identifier links (for example `[BRA-2](/BRA/issues/BRA-2#document-plan)`), never raw UUIDs.1112Set real dependencies through `blockedByIssueIds` (or the native dependency tool).13Parent/child nesting and prose do not delay execution. Independent work can start14now; dependent work must wait for its prerequisite. Verify the saved relationships.1516Reviewers publish findings on their own review task and complete it, including an17adverse verdict. Make its description self-contained. Connect the verdict to the18owner who must act on it; do not require writes to the parent.1920Honor existing authorization and approval boundaries. Use Paperclip's planning21mechanics when approval is required; decomposition does not create new approval gates.
