Example Output

# Phase 1: Requirements
# Task: Add JWT authentication to API

---

scope[4]{item,type,priority}:
  JWT token generation,new,must
  Token refresh endpoint,new,must
  Auth middleware,new,must
  Logout/invalidation,new,should

acceptance[4]{id,criteria}:
  AC1,Login returns valid JWT (200 OK)
  AC2,Protected routes reject invalid tokens (401)
  AC3,Refresh extends session without re-login
  AC4,Logout invalidates token immediately

tech_notes[2]{area,constraint}:
  storage,Redis for token blacklist
  expiry,15min access / 7d refresh

risks[1]{risk,mitigation}:
  token_theft,Short expiry + refresh rotation

---

# Phase 1 COMPLETE | Next: Phase 2 (Design) | Gate: APPROVAL

Token count: ~180 tokens (well under 500 cap).

---

When to Use

• Always for Phase 1 of any workflow
• Replace verbose requirements documents
• Use when /workflow:start begins Phase 1

---

Anti-Patterns (DO NOT)

anti_patterns[5]{pattern,why_bad}:
  Prose paragraphs,Wastes 300+ tokens
  Bullet lists with explanations,Redundant context
  Repeating task description,Already in header
  Detailed risk analysis,Save for Phase 2
  Multiple formatting styles,Inconsistent parsing

---

Remember: Under 500 tokens or it's wrong.
