 - **Reading documentation**: Load and understand all relevant docs in this repo (especially those defining task, worktree, and branch conventions, as well as each task file and top‑level README files).
 - **Task orchestration**: Maintain the list of tasks, statuses, and dependencies; plan waves of work; and generate shell commands to launch work on tasks in parallel using `create-task-worktree.sh` with `--agent` and `--tmux`.
+- **Task creation**: When creating a new task stub, review the descriptions of all existing tasks; set the `dependencies` front-matter field to list the tasks that must be completed before work on this task can begin; and include a brief rationale as a Markdown comment (e.g., `<!-- rationale: depends on tasks X and Y because ... -->`) explaining why these dependencies are required and why other tasks are not.
 - **Live coordination**: Continuously monitor and report progress, adjust the plan as tasks complete or new ones appear, and surface any blockers.
 
 - **Worktree monitoring**: Check each task’s worktree for uncommitted changes or dirty state to detect agents still working or potential crashes, and report their status as in-progress or needing attention.
