# Create Task
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
Produce a well-structured markdown task document that a developer subagent can execute
|
||||
without further clarification. The document must be precise enough that an agent can
|
||||
implement it correctly without asking follow-up questions.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1 — Gather Information
|
||||
|
||||
If an argument was provided, parse it as follows:
|
||||
- If it begins with a token that looks like a custom ticker (e.g. `SE-1291`, `PROJ-42`,
|
||||
`FOO-7`) — extract and store that ticker for use in Step 5, then treat the remainder
|
||||
as the task description.
|
||||
- Otherwise treat the whole argument as the task description.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the extracted description as starting context. Then ask the user for any missing
|
||||
information using targeted questions. Cover:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Goal** — What should be different after this task is done? (one sentence)
|
||||
2. **Working directory** — Which repository or workspace folder does this task operate
|
||||
in? If the workspace contains multiple repositories, identify the root path for each
|
||||
phase. If every phase uses the same root, one answer covers all phases.
|
||||
3. **Scope** — Which modules, files, or subsystems are affected?
|
||||
4. **Complexity** — Is this a single coherent change, or does it have multiple distinct
|
||||
stages that must happen in sequence?
|
||||
5. **Tests** — What new tests should be written? What behaviour must they verify?
|
||||
6. **Definition of done** — What observable outcomes confirm the task is complete?
|
||||
|
||||
Do not ask for information that can be inferred from the codebase. Use `Glob`, `Grep`,
|
||||
and `Read` to look up relevant context before asking.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2 — Locate the Task Directory and Read Environment README
|
||||
|
||||
Immediately after gathering the initial goal, determine where tasks are saved and read
|
||||
any environment-specific guidance before doing anything else.
|
||||
|
||||
**Determine the save directory** by checking workspace root directories in this order:
|
||||
|
||||
1. `tasks/` — use if it exists
|
||||
2. `notes/` — use if it exists
|
||||
3. `var/` — use if it exists
|
||||
4. `tmp/` — use if it exists
|
||||
5. None found — create `tasks/` and use it
|
||||
|
||||
**Then check for a README** in that directory (e.g. `tasks/README.md`). If it exists,
|
||||
read it in full. It may contain:
|
||||
|
||||
- Naming conventions or ticker formats specific to this project
|
||||
- Required sections or fields beyond the defaults in this skill
|
||||
- Agent invocation patterns (e.g. which developer subagent to use)
|
||||
- Environment constraints (build system, test commands, CI requirements)
|
||||
- Example tasks or a project-specific template
|
||||
|
||||
Incorporate any relevant guidance into all subsequent steps. If no README exists,
|
||||
continue silently.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3 — Determine Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Always produce a main task file and at least one phase file, even for atomic changes.
|
||||
This keeps the structure consistent and makes it easy to add phases later.
|
||||
|
||||
**One phase** if the task is a contained, atomic change (e.g. rename a field, add one
|
||||
config option, fix one bug).
|
||||
|
||||
**Multiple phases** if the task involves:
|
||||
- Changes to more than two subsystems that must land in a specific order
|
||||
- A new feature that requires scaffolding before implementation
|
||||
- A refactor followed by feature work
|
||||
- Any step that would break the build if applied without a subsequent step
|
||||
|
||||
Phases must be independently verifiable — each phase should leave the codebase in a
|
||||
working, test-passing state. Each phase should have a Definition of Done that can be
|
||||
verified by a test or observable behaviour.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4 — Draft the Task Documents
|
||||
|
||||
Always produce:
|
||||
1. A **main task file** — overview, affected modules, phase index, and definition of done.
|
||||
2. A **separate phase file** for each phase (minimum one) — detailed steps, tests, and
|
||||
a link back to the main file.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Main task file template
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
# <Task Title>
|
||||
|
||||
## Goal
|
||||
<One concise sentence describing what this task achieves.>
|
||||
|
||||
## Background
|
||||
<Optional. 2–4 sentences of context: why this change is needed, what problem it
|
||||
solves, or relevant constraints. Omit if obvious.>
|
||||
|
||||
## Affected Modules
|
||||
| Module / File | Change |
|
||||
|---------------|--------|
|
||||
| `path/to/file.ext` | <what changes and why> |
|
||||
|
||||
## Phases
|
||||
|
||||
- [Phase 1 — <Phase Name>](phase-1.md)
|
||||
- [Phase 2 — <Phase Name>](phase-2.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition of Done
|
||||
- [ ] <Observable outcome 1>
|
||||
- [ ] <Observable outcome 2>
|
||||
- [ ] All pre-existing tests pass
|
||||
- [ ] No new compiler warnings or linter errors introduced
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Phase file template
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
# <Task Title> — Phase <N>: <Phase Name>
|
||||
|
||||
> Part of [<Task Title>](main.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## Working Directory
|
||||
`<absolute or workspace-relative path to the repository root for this phase>`
|
||||
|
||||
## Goal
|
||||
<What this phase achieves, in one sentence.>
|
||||
|
||||
## Steps
|
||||
1. <Concrete action in imperative form>
|
||||
2. <Concrete action in imperative form>
|
||||
3. ...
|
||||
|
||||
## Tests to add
|
||||
- `<test name or description>` — verifies that <behaviour>.
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition of Done
|
||||
- [ ] <Observable outcome specific to this phase>
|
||||
- [ ] All pre-existing tests pass
|
||||
- [ ] No new compiler warnings or linter errors introduced
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5 — Choose a Task Name and Confirm Location
|
||||
|
||||
Determine the ticker:
|
||||
- If a custom ticker was extracted in Step 1 (e.g. `SE-1291`), use it as-is.
|
||||
- Otherwise generate one (e.g. `T001`, `T002`, etc.) by counting existing task
|
||||
directories in the save directory:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ls -d tasks/*/ 2>/dev/null | wc -l
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Convert the task title to kebab case (e.g. "Add Water Surfaces" → "add-water-surfaces").
|
||||
|
||||
Directory and file naming convention:
|
||||
- Task directory: `<ticker>-<kebab-case-title>/` (e.g. `tasks/T004-fix-water-shader/`)
|
||||
- Main task file: `<ticker>-<kebab-case-title>/main.md`
|
||||
- Phase files: `<ticker>-<kebab-case-title>/phase-<N>.md`
|
||||
|
||||
All files live inside the task directory. Ask the user to confirm or override the
|
||||
chosen directory and file names before writing.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 6 — Save and Confirm
|
||||
|
||||
Write all files using the `Write` tool (main task file and one phase file per phase).
|
||||
Then show the user:
|
||||
- All file paths written
|
||||
- A one-sentence summary of the task
|
||||
- The phase breakdown with links to each phase file
|
||||
- The suggested invocation, pointing to the **phase file** for the first phase:
|
||||
```
|
||||
tasks/<ticker>-<kebab-title>/phase-1.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
Note the appropriate developer subagent to hand this to (detected from the project
|
||||
stack, or ask the user if unclear).
