## Context

**Why This Matters:**
[Explanation of the value - cleaner code, better UX, faster performance, etc.]

**Scope:**
[What areas/pages/features does this touch? Be specific enough to stay focused.]

**Type:** Ongoing | One-time

## Task List

### Initial Tasks
- [ ] [Task 1 - be specific]
- [ ] [Task 2 - be specific]
- [ ] [Task 3 - be specific]

### Added During Work
<!-- Add new tasks discovered while working -->

### Out of Scope
<!-- Tasks that don't fit - might become new issues -->
- [Task that's too big or different focus]

---

## Acceptance Criteria

### Completion
- [ ] All initial tasks completed (or moved to out of scope)
- [ ] Code quality acceptable
- [ ] No regressions introduced

### Tests
- [ ] Tests updated if behavior changed
- [ ] All tests passing
- [ ] N/A - No behavior changes

### Documentation

## Technical Notes

### Approach
[How you'll tackle this work]

### Files to Touch
- `path/to/file.tsx` - [What changes]

### Risk Assessment
- **Regression Risk:** Low | Medium | High
- **Related Areas:** [What else might be affected]

## Completion Criteria

**This chore is done when:**
- [ ] [Completion criterion 1]
- [ ] [Completion criterion 2]
- [ ] No obvious improvements remaining in scope

**Signs this needs to be split:**
- Work has been ongoing for 3+ weeks
- Scope has grown significantly
- New tasks are unrelated to original purpose
