Turn This Idea Into A Clear Plan
Start with the big idea, then make it easier to act on. This view helps you name the direction, keep the scope small, break the work into smaller parts, and say how you will know it worked.
This creates plan cards only. You can review them first, then start work from the plan you want to use.
Direction
Clarify the first real-world outcome Smart reap — diagnose why tasks stuck, capture partial work, resume from checkpoint should create and the person it helps first.
Scope
Keep the first version tight: one walkable flow, one visible result, and only the minimum support needed. Current reaper blindly marks tasks timed_out with zero diagnostics. Fix: (1) Before reaping, query the runner that claimed the task — is it still alive? Is the provider process still running? (2) If…
Smaller parts
Split the idea into promise, flow, and proof so each plan stays small enough to build and check.
Proof of success
A human can understand the value, walk the flow, and answer this open question next: How can we improve this idea, show whether it is working yet, and make that proof clearer over time?
Plans you place here carry the name you choose.
