Continue Work on Next Priority

CRITICAL NEVER commit and push unless asking the user first

IMPORTANT Always follow PLANNING-BOARD, even if the user has a document open

Your Task

1. Check current priorities: Read PLANNING-BOARD to see what's next 1a. If PLANNING-BOARD is empty: use Reprioritize prompt to reprioritize, and then go to step 1
2. Select top priority: Pick the first item from the planning board (unless blocked)
3. Assess workload: If the item is high-effort, follow instructions in Split epic prompt and reprioritize accordingly
4. Move to in-progress: Move the issue file from backlog/ to in-progress/
5. Read the issue file: Understand problem, acceptance criteria, and technical context
6. Make sure you understand: If the issue is unclear, or have uncertaincies - ask the user followup questions, otherwise continue to tep 6.
7. Don't do too much: If the task seems too complex, break it down further and add new tasks in the backlog - Update PLANNING-BOARD accordingly
8. Add implementation plan: Update the issue file with detailed approach
9. Update planning board: Mark status as "In Progress" in PLANNING-BOARD.md
10. Implement the solution: Follow the workflow in AGENTS
11. Update progress: Keep issue file and planning board current during work
12. CRITICAL - ENSURE TESTS PASS: Always ensure all tests pass before moving to done
13. Complete: Move to done/ when finished, update planning board
