clawlist

**Quick judgement:** Clawlist is a strong, opinionated workflow orchestrator for any non-trivial, multi-step, or ongoing task. It’s best treated as the default backbone for projects and long-running automations rather than a one-off utility. **Strengths:** - Enforces a clear lifecycle: brainstorming → planning → execution → verification. - Integrates with Heartbeat and `memory/tasks/ongoing-tasks.md` for continuous and infinite tasks. - Uses checkpoints and health indicators (🟢🟡🔴) to reduce silent failures and lost tasks. - Supports parallelization via `dispatch-multiple-agents` for complex or multi-track work. **Risks & limitations:** - Depends on other skills (brainstorming, write-plan, doing-tasks, verify-task, dispatch-multiple-agents) and on correct Heartbeat + file-path setup; misconfiguration can weaken reliability. - Infinite and long-running loops can amplify mistakes or unwanted behaviors if upstream task definitions are unsafe or poorly scoped. - Overhead may be unnecessary for very simple, single-step tasks. **Recommended scenarios:** - Use by default for any project expected to span multiple steps or sessions (software features, research, campaigns). - Use to manage long-running or infinite monitoring loops (GitHub issues, social engagement, data or system checks) where persistent tracking and health monitoring are valuable. - Pair with Heartbeat whenever you need robust, recurring automation with visibility into status, blockers, and required user intervention.
