Intent worksheet

July 16, 2026 · View on GitHub

Use this worksheet to shape one behavior in the caller-owned issue, bead, or conversation. It is optional source material for Plan, not a second planning artifact, work-readiness record, ownership claim, or scheduling state.

Intent

One active behavior

Acceptance examples

Scenario: <normal behavior>
  Given <precondition>
  When <action>
  Then <observable result>

Scenario: <critical edge>
  Given <edge precondition>
  When <action>
  Then <observable safe result>

Non-goals

Required evidence

<Concrete command result, artifact, observation, or criterion evidence.>

Write scope

include:
  - <path or glob>
  - <generated companion when applicable>
exclude:
  - <explicitly protected path or glob>

First acceptance check

Choose one:

command: <command expected to fail before the behavior exists>

artifact_path: <artifact whose absence or content proves RED>

Rollback or containment

<Caller-owned way to undo or contain the experiment, or an explicit statement that no rollback exists.>

The runtime snapshots and hashes these resolved intent bytes when their source is not already durable. Plan emits no owner, priority, attempt, wave, queue, lease, admission, next action, closure, release, or delivery field.
