 ## Strict Conventions
 - **Naming:** Always use kebab-case for features and task descriptions
-- **Sequencing:** 2-digits (01, 02, 03...)
+- **Sequencing:** 2-digits (01, 02, 03...) — optionally a single lowercase letter
+  suffix may be appended to insert a sub-task between two numbered steps without
+  renumbering siblings (e.g. `02b`, `02c` for sub-tasks of `02`). The parser
+  normalizes `2b` → `02b`.
 - **File pattern:** `{seq}-{task-description}.md`
 - **Dependencies:** Always map task relationships (if applicable)
 - **Tests:** Every task must include test requirements
