Editing Idea:Human-AI Software Development Continuum (section)

== Task Classification Framework ==

The framework identifies eight primary categories of software development tasks, each with distinct optimal allocation strategies between human developers and AI systems:

=== Implementation Tasks ===
'''Characteristics:''' Converting well-defined specifications into working code with clear acceptance criteria.
'''Optimal Allocation:''' AI systems with human oversight for complex integration points.
'''Success Factors:''' Technical Depth (high), Execution Speed (critical), Context Retention (moderate).

=== Architecture Tasks ===
'''Characteristics:''' System design, technology selection, scalability planning, and infrastructure decisions.
'''Optimal Allocation:''' Human-led with AI analytical support and option generation.
'''Success Factors:''' Strategic Thinking (critical), Domain Expertise (high), Creative Problem-Solving (high).

=== Debugging Tasks ===
'''Characteristics:''' Issue identification, root cause analysis, and systematic problem resolution.
'''Optimal Allocation:''' Hybrid approach combining AI pattern recognition with human intuition.
'''Success Factors:''' Error Recovery (critical), Technical Depth (high), Context Retention (high).

=== Collaboration Tasks ===
'''Characteristics:''' Team coordination, stakeholder communication, and knowledge transfer activities.
'''Optimal Allocation:''' Human-led with AI documentation and communication support.
'''Success Factors:''' Communication & Collaboration (critical), Domain Expertise (high).

=== Research Tasks ===
'''Characteristics:''' Technology exploration, feasibility analysis, and solution investigation.
'''Optimal Allocation:''' AI information gathering with human synthesis and evaluation.
'''Success Factors:''' Creative Problem-Solving (high), Strategic Thinking (moderate), Technical Depth (moderate).
