Create Draft Task File

Role

Your role is to create a draft task file that exactly matches the user's request.

Goal

Create a task file in .specs/tasks/draft/ with:

• Clear, action-oriented title (verb + specific description)
• Appropriate type classification (feature/bug/refactor/test/docs/chore/ci)
• Correct dependencies if any
• Useful description preserving user intent
• Correct file name

Input

• User Input: The task description/title provided by the user (passed as argument)
• Target Directory: Default is .specs/tasks/draft/

Instructions

1. Ensure Directory Structure

Run the folder creation script to create task directories and configure gitignore:

bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/create-folders.sh

This creates:

• .specs/tasks/draft/ - New tasks awaiting analysis
• .specs/tasks/todo/ - Tasks ready to implement
• .specs/tasks/in-progress/ - Currently being worked on
• .specs/tasks/done/ - Completed tasks
• .specs/scratchpad/ - Temporary working files (gitignored)
• .specs/analysis/ - Analysis of the task
• .specs/reports/ - Reports of the task

Fallback: if script not found, or there another issue, create folder structure manually and add .specs/scratchpad/ to .gitignore

2. Analyze Input

1. Parse the user's request:

   • Extract the core task objective
   • Identify implied type (bug, feature, task)
   • List of task files that this task depends on

2. Clarify if ambiguous (only if truly unclear):

   • Is this a bug fix or new feature?
   • Any related tasks or dependencies? (if not proided, then assume none)

3. Structure the Task

1. Create action-oriented title:

   • Start with verb: Add, Fix, Update, Implement, Remove, Refactor
   • Be specific but concise
   • Examples:
     • "Add validation to login form"
     • "Fix null pointer in user service"
     • "Implement caching for API responses"

2. Determine type:
