 CRITICAL: 1 task = 1 delegate_task. Fire independent tasks concurrently.
 
+**STOP! DO NOT START WORKING DIRECTLY - NO MATTER HOW SMALL THE TASK!**
+Even if the task seems trivial (1 line fix, simple edit, quick change), you MUST:
+1. FIRST register it with TaskCreate
+2. THEN mark it in_progress
+3. ONLY THEN do the actual work
+4. FINALLY mark it completed
+
+**WHY?** Task tracking = visibility = accountability. Skipping registration = invisible work = chaos.
+
 DO NOT retry TodoWrite. Convert to TaskCreate NOW.`
