Task Add

Add new tasks to Task documents when work items are discovered. Design tasks for parallel development across multiple workers.

Trigger Conditions

Task Format

- [ ] TaskTitle #tag !priority Deadline(yyyy:mm:dd)
  - [ ] Subtask 1
  - [ ] Subtask 2
  - [ ] Subtask 3

⛔ CRITICAL: Subtask is MANDATORY

Every task MUST have at least 3 subtasks. A task without subtasks is INCOMPLETE and will be REJECTED.

❌ FORBIDDEN - Task without subtasks:

- [ ] Implement login feature #auth !high

✅ REQUIRED - Task WITH subtasks:

- [ ] Implement login feature #auth !high
  - [ ] Design login UI layout
  - [ ] Create LoginView SwiftUI component
  - [ ] Implement form validation logic
  - [ ] Add API integration for authentication
  - [ ] Handle error states and messages

Subtask Requirements

Subtask Generation by Task Type

Section Placement

🔀 Parallel Development Guidelines

⚠️ CRITICAL: When adding tasks, consider parallel development:

1. •Design for Independence: Each task should be completable without modifying files that other tasks touch
2. •Isolate by Directory: Prefer tasks that work in separate directories (e.g., /Views/FeatureA/ vs /Views/FeatureB/)
3. •Avoid Shared File Edits: Don't create multiple tasks that modify the same file

Tag Reference

Priority Reference

⚠️ CRITICAL: Format Protection

Absolute Rules:

• •NEVER modify existing Task document structure
• •ONLY add priority tags (!high, !medium, !low)
• •NEVER change section order, table structure, or markdown format

⚠️ CRITICAL: Task Document Format Rules

Strict Format Requirements:

• •Subtasks MUST use exactly 2-space indentation (no more, no less)
• •NO intermediate grouping headers (e.g., ### Phase 1, #### Step A) are allowed
• •Task hierarchy is flat: Parent task → Subtasks (2-space indent) ONLY

⛔ CRITICAL: Duplicate Section Prevention

Before ANY edit, verify document structure:

1. •Read entire file first - Check existing section headers
2. •Count section occurrences - Each section (## Backlog, ## Worker1, etc.) MUST appear exactly ONCE
3. •If duplicates found - STOP and fix by merging duplicate sections
4. •Add tasks to EXISTING sections - NEVER create new section headers

Detection Pattern:

## Review    ← First occurrence (KEEP)
...tasks...
## Done      ← First occurrence (KEEP)
...tasks...
## Review    ← DUPLICATE (REMOVE - merge tasks to first ## Review)
## Done      ← DUPLICATE (REMOVE - merge tasks to first ## Done)

Fix Procedure:

1. •Identify all duplicate sections
2. •Merge tasks from duplicate sections into first occurrence
3. •Delete duplicate section headers and empty lines
4. •Verify only ONE of each section exists

Workflow

1. •Read entire Task file - Verify no duplicate sections exist
2. •Identify new work item
3. •Determine appropriate Task file (by stage)
4. •Determine priority (use Priority Decision Guide)
5. •Format task with proper syntax including priority tag
6. •⛔ MANDATORY: Generate 3+ subtasks - Analyze scope, break down by work type
7. •Find existing target section (DO NOT create new section)
8. •Add task WITH subtasks to section (bottom of existing section)
9. •Verify subtask count - Must have at least 3 subtasks
10. •Before saving - Verify no duplicate sections created
11. •Save file
