# [Task Name]
## Opening
<!-- One paragraph. Do NOT restate the summary — give the when-to-reach-for-this trigger and any framing the steps assume. No background theory. -->
## Prerequisites
<!-- Checkbox list of what must be true/installed/obtained before starting; each item independently verifiable. -->
- [ ] ...
- [ ] ...
## Steps
<!-- Numbered steps. Each step = context (why/when this step) → action (the command or change) → expected result (what success looks like). -->
### Step 1: [action]
## Verification
<!-- End-to-end confirmation the whole procedure worked — concrete checks/commands and their expected output (distinct from per-step expected results). -->
## Gotchas
<!-- Known failure modes and surprises, each with how to recognize it and how to recover. Omit the section only if there are genuinely none. -->
## Related
<!-- Wikilinks to companion notes, one line each on why it is relevant. -->
