# Plans to tasks

Keep small, cohesive work on its current ordinary task with one end-to-end owner.
A plan's steps, files, and phases do not each need a task.

Create a separate task only for a useful boundary: another owner or permission,
independent parallel output, a real prerequisite, independent review, or substantial
follow-up that needs its own lifecycle. Check the available agents before assigning.
Give each delegate enough context and a clear deliverable to work independently.

Set real dependencies through `blockedByIssueIds` (or the native dependency tool).
Parent/child nesting and prose do not delay execution. Independent work can start
now; dependent work must wait for its prerequisite. Verify the saved relationships.
