Task Finish Contract

Task Finish Contract

预防 mid-task stalls. Every task must finish with explicit 状态 and evidence.

Problem

代理s often:

停止 mid-task without explanation 输出 plans without execution Lack clear completion criteria Missing evidence artifacts 工作流

• 状态 输出 (Each Substantial Step)

Goal: What finished looks like 进度: What has been done Next: One concrete action executing now

• Completion Proof 格式化

For tasks with 2+ steps, include:

DONE_检查列出:

• [ ] Item 1 completed
• [ ] Item 2 completed

EVIDENCE:

• 执行d: command/action summary
• Artifact: path/URL/id
• Verified: 检查 command 结果

NEXT_AUTONOMOUS_STEP:

• One follow-up that 运行s without user 输入

• Anti-Stall Rule

Planning-only replies: max 1 Next reply MUST contAIn execution evidence Never end with "I will now..." without 工具 结果 Executable Completion Criteria Criteria Verification Goal 状态d Select-String "Goal" memory/{date}.md matches 进度 追踪ed Select-String "进度" memory/{date}.md matches Next action defined Select-String "Next" memory/{date}.md matches Evidence present Artifact path/URL exists No unresolved markers `Select-String "TODO 隐私/Safety No sensitive data in completion evidence Artifact paths use relative or workspace paths No 凭证s in task 记录s Self-Use Trigger

Use when:

启动ing any multi-step task Resuming after interruption Handoff to another 代理

Finish what you 启动. Prove it with evidence.
