task_breakdown_guidelines:
  good_task_size:
    - 'Can be completed in 2-6 hours'
    - 'Has clear, testable outcome'
    - 'Single responsibility'
    - 'Minimal dependencies'
  examples:
    - 'Create User schema with validations'

    - 'Write tests for user registration'
    - 'Create LiveView component for login form'

acceptance_criteria_examples:
  good:
    - 'User can register with email and password'
    - 'Password must be at least 8 characters'
    - 'Email validation prevents duplicate accounts'
    - 'Success redirects to dashboard'
    - 'Errors display with specific messages'
  bad:
    - 'Registration works' # Too vague
    - 'No bugs' # Not measurable
    - 'Good UX' # Subjective

story_sizing:
  small: '1-2 tasks, 4-8 hours, single module'
  medium: '3-5 tasks, 1-2 days, few modules'
  large: '6+ tasks, 3+ days, should be broken down into smaller stories'

agent_coordination:
  architect_involvement:
    - 'New GenServers or supervised processes'
    - 'Database schema changes'
    - 'New Phoenix contexts'
    - 'Significant architectural decisions'
