Defining Atomic Checklist Items
A checklist item is atomic when it describes one clear, verifiable action that can be completed or auto-checked without ambiguity.
"I need each step to be doable by one person and automatically checkable when possible."
An atomic checklist item specifies a single, concrete action and a measurable acceptance condition so it can be completed, delegated, or auto-verified. It avoids compound tasks, vague verbs, and subjective success criteria.
