ACTION CHECKLIST

  • [ ] Clarify the exact output and success metric before starting.
  • [ ] Gather required inputs from one trusted source only.
  • [ ] Execute the workflow in sequence without adding side tasks.
  • [ ] Run one quality check and fix the highest-risk issue first.
  • [ ] Save the final result with a short reuse note.

WHY IT WORKS

  • Converts vague intent into an explicit sequence.
  • Emphasizes shipping one validated result fast.
  • Creates repeatability for future runs.

NEXT ACTION
