[WIP] Evaluate task-generator for gate or skill requirements
Investigation: task-generator gate vs skill evaluation - NO ACTION

Changes SummaryInvestigation session that evaluates whether the task-generator agent needs enforcement gates or standardization skills. Analysis concludes with 'NO ACTION NEEDED' verdict - the agent already produces consistent TASK-NNN format and is being invoked appropriately; identified quality issues relate to content self-containment, not format standardization.

Pull request overview
This PR documents an investigation into whether the task-generator agent requires enforcement gates or format standardization, per the ADR-033 routing-level gates framework. The investigation concluded that no action is needed because the task-generator already produces consistent TASK-NNN formatted output and is being invoked appropriately. The critique feedback on tasks relates to content quality (self-containment), not format or enforcement gaps, which means it doesn't fit the gate model defined in ADR-033.
- Investigation found 227 TASK-NNN instances across 12 planning files, confirming consistent format usage
- Analysis determined that quality issues (relative location references, function assumptions) are content-related feedback handled by the critic agent, not protocol bypass requiring gates
- Decision documented to close issue #766 with "NO ACTION NEEDED" verdict

Inspired by https://gist.github.com/burkeholland/902b5833383d8e7384dc553de405d846 ## Key Patterns Integrated 1. **Resume Logic** - Continue from incomplete tasks without handing back control - Check TodoWrite for state, resume from exact step - Work until ALL actionable PRs complete or blocked 2. **Planning Before Action** - Create TodoWrite list BEFORE executing workflow - Prioritize PRs by number (ascending) - Estimate scope (threads, CI failures, conflicts) - Announce plan briefly before starting 3. **Todo List Discipline** - Track ALL PRs requiring attention - Mark status: pending, in_progress, completed - Track specific issues per PR - Update IMMEDIATELY when status changes - Provides visibility into autonomous operation 4. **Verification Rigor** (CRITICAL) - "Failing to verify ALL criteria is NUMBER ONE failure mode" - NEVER claim completion without executing EVERY verification - NEVER assume CI passes without Get-PRChecks.ps1 - NEVER assume zero threads without Get-UnresolvedReviewThreads.ps1 - Document verification results ## Example Workflow Discovery → TodoWrite (6 PRs) → Announce Plan → Work Sequentially → Verify Rigor → Repeat Example announcement: "Working through 6 PRs. Starting #764 (23 threads), then #765 (CI), #744 (CI), #566 (CI-review only), #771 (conflicts), #766 (conflicts). Sequential, no user input." ## Validation - Markdownlint: 0 errors - Pattern source: Beast Mode Dev chat mode - Integration: Resume logic + Todo discipline + Verification rigor 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Evaluated whether task-generator agent needs enforcement (gate) or format standardization (skill) per ADR-033 routing-level gates framework.
Verdict: NO ACTION NEEDED
The task-generator agent consistently produces TASK-NNN format and is being invoked appropriately. Evidence shows format standardization exists in agent definition, 227 instances across planning files, and quality issues are content-related (not format or enforcement).

Decision Rationale:
Recommendation: Close issue #613 with NO ACTION verdict. Task-generator does not need a gate (it's being invoked) or skill (format is standardized).
