Collaborator

Goal: /task-new never ends with a drafted PR and no resolver pass.

Value: med
Effort: 30m

Why

Step 11 made "drafted, not implemented" a reachable end state twice over:
it printed the PR and asked "want to adjust anything?" (an invitation to
stop), and it skipped the /task-implement chain entirely in
improve-existing mode. Runs kept ending at the spec.

The pipeline's only legal stop is the resolver's code-complete point --
before the test loop and before the first /task-review.
/task-orchestrate already auto-runs review + fix (cap 3 passes) and
stops only before merge, so nothing downstream needed changing.

Steps

task-new frontmatter + Overview: state the hand-off as unconditional.
Rewrite Step 11 as "Show, then always hand off" -- printing is a status
line, not a gate; both modes chain; the only skip is running as a
subagent of /task-implement (loop guard).
Name the earliest legal stop in Step 11 (resolver code-complete) and
point at /task-orchestrate for the auto-run review + fix loop.
Add three Common-mistakes rows covering the removed exits.
task-implement Step 1f: the picker's "draft a new task PR" option now
says spawn, re-probe, resume at Step 2 -- never end the pass at
"drafted".

Notes

Prose-only change across two SKILL.md files; no scripts touched, so
there is nothing for tests/ to cover.

The subagent-of-/task-implement skip is kept deliberately -- without it
the chain loops implement -> new -> implement.

/task-orchestrate was read and left alone: Step 4 already loops
fix-on-branch on concerns/blocking without prompting, and Step 5 is
the intended merge gate.

Draft-then-stop was a valid exit path: Step 11 gated the hand-off behind a
"want to adjust anything?" prompt and skipped it outright in improve-existing
mode. Make the chain unconditional -- the only skip is running as a subagent of
/task-implement (loop guard) -- and name the resolver's code-complete point as
the earliest legal stop.
