Requirements

What this template expects to do its job. Task Machine does not verify these — you decide whether your setup is ready.

  • Connected repository — Needs a connected code repository so the agent can inspect backend conventions, read tests, make the change, and open a pull request.
  • Runnable backend checks — Needs the project's test, typecheck, lint, or build commands documented so the agent can prove the API contract still works.
