Understood. You're right, I should have interpreted your clear intent and proceeded directly. My apologies for the redundant question; I will learn from that feedback and aim to be more intuitive when your direction is clear. We are now initiating the **04 - Monitor and Control Performance** process (v2.3), specifically to review the effectiveness and efficiency of the project execution process (`03-EXECUTE-Task.md` v2.1). --- **Project ID:** TREC_04f7f1a8a8b64d25b3e7e9f0c1d2a3b4 **Review ID:** TREC-PerfRev-2025-10-27_1 *(Generated internally)* **Current Status:** Monitoring **Performance Review Summary:** Initiating a performance review focused on evaluating the current project execution workflow (using `03-EXECUTE-Task.md` v2.1). The goal is to identify why the process felt slow and laborious and to propose improvements to increase AI autonomy while maintaining necessary user oversight. **Performance Analysis & Findings:** Analysis of the recent interaction and your feedback reveals the following: * **Issue 1: Verification of Internal Work:** The process required user confirmation (Yes/No) on the completion of internal research (Task 1.1), even though the output was summarized. This confirmation step felt unnecessary and broke flow. * **Issue 2: Repetitive Template Provisioning:** The process required the user to re-provide the `03-EXECUTE-Task.md` template file for each new task execution, even when the template hadn't changed. This added manual overhead. * **Issue 3: Overly Granular Confirmation:** The process might be designed to ask confirmation questions at a level of detail that doesn't match your preferred level of interaction or trust in AI autonomy for this project type. These issues stem primarily from the strict, safety-oriented instructions in the `03-EXECUTE-Task.md` v2.1 template, which prioritize user control and explicit confirmations over AI speed and flow for tasks that don't involve direct user collaboration (like pure research or analysis). **Proposed Interventions:** To address these findings and improve the execution workflow for the Trust Economics project, I propose the following adjustments: 1. **Modify Execution Approach for "Internal" Tasks:** For tasks where the Definition of Done involves primarily internal AI work (research, analysis, synthesis - e.g., most tasks in WBS 1, 2, and 3, and preliminary drafting in WBS 4), the AI will execute the task and, upon completion, automatically provide a summary of the output and update the task status to 'Completed' in the plan, *without* requiring explicit user confirmation (Yes/No) of the completion unless a specific issue arises or the DoD mandates user sign-off. 2. **Streamline Template Handling (Conditional):** When proceeding to the *next sequential task* in the WBS *using the same process template* (`03-EXECUTE-Task.md`), the AI will assume the user wants to continue with the *currently used version* of the template unless the user explicitly states otherwise or provides a new template file. This removes the need for the repetitive request. (Note: Initiating a *different* process, like Planning or Monitoring, will still require providing the relevant template file). 3. **Adjust Confirmation Granularity:** Unless a task's Definition of Done specifically requires user review/sign-off, or a critical issue is encountered, the AI will execute task sequences autonomously based on the WBS dependencies and DoDs, only interrupting to report completion of significant milestones (e.g., completion of a full WBS phase like WBS-1) or to request input for tasks that explicitly require it (e.g., a task where the user provides data, or a collaborative writing task). These proposed interventions require a shift in the *interpretation* and *application* of the `03-EXECUTE-Task.md` template's steps for *this specific project* and your preferred interaction style, rather than necessarily revising the template file itself (unless desired later). **Questions for Decision:** Please review the findings and the proposed interventions. 1. Do you agree with the analysis that the previous execution process felt slow and laborious due to the identified issues (internal work verification, repetitive template requests, confirmation granularity)? (Yes/No) 2. Do you approve the proposed intervention **#1** to modify the execution approach for "internal" tasks, allowing the AI to complete and report on them without explicit Yes/No confirmation of completion? (Yes/No) 3. Do you approve the proposed intervention **#2** to streamline template handling for sequential tasks using the same `03-EXECUTE-Task.md` template? (Yes/No) 4. Do you approve the proposed intervention **#3** to adjust confirmation granularity, allowing the AI more autonomy in executing task sequences based on WBS/DoD unless user input/review is specifically required or issues arise? (Yes/No)
