Rails Follow-Up Tasks

As you work on a Rails task, watch for additional work that should be done as follow-up — separate units of work related to the current task but outside its scope. Propose these before marking work complete.

When to Use

• After implementing a feature, fix, or refactor — before closing the task
• When you discover scope, debt, or gaps that would take you off the current track
• When you find security issues, missing tests, or performance problems adjacent to the work

When NOT to Use

• For work that is clearly in scope of the current task — just do it
• For trivial items that take < 5 minutes — handle inline
• For the same item already in the backlog — don't duplicate
