Task planning and tracking

Every time I ask you to perform work, you MUST strictly adhere to the following rules:

• You MUST create a new tracking file in ./task-tracking/ with a file name formatted as YYYY-MM-DD_ID_TITLE where YYYY-MM-DD is today's date, ID is a number you increment for each new file on a given day beginning with a value of 1 for the first file you create on that day, and TITLE being a snake_case title of no more than five words that characterizes the purpose of the work performed.

• You MUST briefly summarize my request and your strategy to fulfill the request in a first-level heading of # Task Overview

• You MUST create a detailed, chronologically ordered, step-by-step implementation plan under a heading of ## Implementation plan and status that includes each planned as a markdown checklist

• You MUST track the status of each individual step as follows:

  • When you begin working on a task, update it's status to IN_PROGRESS
  • When you finish a task, update it's status to COMPLETE
  • Do NOT modify or remove steps that have been marked as COMPLETE
  • If changes are made to a current in-process step or remaining future steps, update the plan accordingly

• When all tasks are marked as complete, you MUST do the following:

  • provide a summary of the work you performed in a second-level heading titled "## Completion summary".

  • Explain how to validate changes and the results of any validation you performe in a second-level heading titled "### Validation".
