# Execution Board Template > **The execution board is the contract for a stream.** > Copy this file into `.harness//execution-board.md`. > **The entire board must be written BEFORE any code is committed.** > Plan-then-implement is non-negotiable. --- # Execution Board — [STREAM NAME] **Feature:** [One-line description of what this stream builds] **Created:** YYYY-MM-DD **Branch:** `feat/` **IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN tasks:** [e.g., 5–8] **Status:** 🔴 Not started | 🟡 Planning | 🟠 In progress | ✅ Complete **Design reference:** [path to design doc, or N/A] --- ## 🎯 Goal [2–4 sentences. What does this stream accomplish? What user-facing outcome does it produce? How does it fit the larger product vision?] --- ## ⚠️ Dependencies [Other streams or tasks that must be complete before this one can start. If none: "None — can start immediately."] --- ## 📦 Packets ### Packet [XX-01] — [Name] **IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN task:** [N] **Status:** ⬜ Not started | 🔄 In progress | ✅ Done **Est. effort:** [N sessions] **Depends on:** [XX-00 or "none"] **Goal:** [One sentence] **Steps:** 1. [Concrete step] 2. [...] **Files created/modified:** - `src/...` — [description] - `src/.../__tests__/...` — [test file] **Known-answer tests (mandatory for calculation modules):** ``` test('[what is being verified]', () => { // Source: [official reference — URL, standard, specification] expect(fn(input)).toBeCloseTo(expected, precision); }); ``` **Acceptance criteria:** - [ ] [Programmatically verifiable criterion] - [ ] Known-answer test passes - [ ] Full test suite green (count ≥ baseline) - [ ] TypeScript: clean (`npx tsc --noEmit` outputs nothing) **Validation evidence:** `.harness//validation/-validation.md` --- ### Packet [XX-02] — [Name] [Repeat above structure for each packet] --- ## 🔢 Dependency Order ``` [XX-01] → [XX-02] → [XX-04 (UI/integration)] [XX-01] → [XX-03] → [XX-04 (UI/integration)] ``` [Which packets can run in parallel? Which must be sequential?] --- ## 🏁 Stream Completion Criteria - [ ] All packets complete with validation evidence written - [ ] All known-answer tests pass (list them here explicitly) - [ ] Full test suite green - [ ] TypeScript: clean - [ ] Regression baseline saved: `.harness/regression-baselines/-baseline.json` - [ ] Branch merged to main via `--no-ff` merge commit - [ ] Process eval written: `.harness//process-eval.md` - [ ] IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN tasks marked `[x]` - [ ] EXECUTION_MASTER.md (or project equivalent) updated --- ## 📋 Mandatory Commit Trailer Format Every implementation commit in this stream: ``` feat(): Agent: Tests: Tests-Added: TypeScript: clean ``` --- ## 🔍 Pre-Coding Checklist Before writing any implementation code: - [ ] This execution board is fully written (all packets defined) - [ ] Branch created from latest main - [ ] Baseline test count verified - [ ] No open schema migrations from other active streams (if relevant) - [ ] Design reference doc has been read
