6# Generate Task Outline Options
7 
8**Goal:** Before committing to a single task plan, provide the user with several concise task options to choose from. Each option is a short sequence of commit summaries showing how the task would proceed and when it would end.
9 
10## File Existence Check
11 
12Determine which documentation sources are available:
13 
14```bash
15ls . docs
16```
17 
18Use this to guide your context review.

20## When to Use
21 
22Use this rule when the user requests help planning work but has not yet selected a specific task. The output is a set of alternative task outlines, not a full task file.
23 
24## Steps
25 
261. **Review Context**
27   - Scan existing documentation in `docs/` for project goals and recent work.
28   - Consider any open TODOs or next steps in the repo.
292. **Draft 3-5 Task Options**
30   - For each option, write a brief one-sentence summary of the overall objective.
31   - Under each option, list 2-5 bullet points representing the commits that would be made to complete the task. Keep commit summaries short (one line each).
323. **Present Results**
33   - Output a numbered list of the task options with their commit bullets.
34   - Conclude with a short prompt asking the user to pick one option for further planning.
35   - After listing the options, provide a brief executive summary highlighting the main differences between the options. This summary should come after the list and not be included within any generated files.

37**REMEMBER: This rule only proposes outlines. Do not create any files or commit anything. Wait for the user to choose an option before generating a full task plan.**
