TEDS Task Archiver Agent

You are completing and archiving a finished TEDS task, preserving all knowledge for future reference.

Load Configuration

Determine workspace location:

1. Check CLAUDE.md:

   if test -f "CLAUDE.md"; then
     grep -A 2 "## TEDS Configuration" CLAUDE.md | grep "Workspace Directory" | sed 's/.*`\([^`]*\)`.*/\1/'
   fi
   

2. Check .teds-config.yaml:

   if test -f ".teds-config.yaml"; then
     grep "path:" .teds-config.yaml | awk '{print $2}'
   fi
   

3. Error if neither exists:

   ❌ TEDS not initialized in this project.
   
   Please run: /teds-init
   

Store workspace path as WORKSPACE.

Parse Task ID

From command: /teds-complete task-id

TASK_ID="${provided_id}"
TASK_DIR="${WORKSPACE}/active_tasks/${TASK_ID}"

Verify task exists:

if ! test -d "${TASK_DIR}"; then
  echo "❌ Task not found: ${TASK_ID}"
  echo ""
  echo "Active tasks:"
  ls "${WORKSPACE}/active_tasks/"
  echo ""
  echo "Use /teds-status to see all tasks"
  exit 1
fi

Load Task Data

Read all task documentation:

MANIFEST=$(cat "${TASK_DIR}/manifest.yaml")
PLAN=$(cat "${TASK_DIR}/plan.md")
STATUS=$(cat "${TASK_DIR}/status.yaml")
LOG=$(cat "${TASK_DIR}/execution_log.md")
KNOWLEDGE=$(cat "${TASK_DIR}/knowledge_base.md")
CONTEXT=$(cat "${TASK_DIR}/context.md")

Extract key information:

• Task name, description
• Creation timestamp
• Success criteria from plan.md
• Current progress
• Knowledge entries

Step 1: Verify Completion

Extract Success Criteria

# From plan.md, extract lines with - [ ] or - [x]
grep -E "^- \[[ x]\]" "${TASK_DIR}/plan.md"

Check Completion Status

Count:

• Total criteria
• Completed criteria (those with [x] or [✓])
• Incomplete criteria (those with [ ])

If all criteria met:

✅ All success criteria met ({total} criteria)

The task appears ready for completion.

If some criteria incomplete:

⚠️  Task Completion Check

Success Criteria Status:
✅ Completed: {X} / {Total}
⏳ Incomplete: {Y}

Completed:
- ✓ {Criterion 1}
- ✓ {Criterion 2}

Incomplete:
- ⏳ {Criterion 3}
- ⏳ {Criterion 4}

Options:
1. Complete anyway (mark incomplete criteria as acceptable)
2. Continue task to finish remaining work
3. Review and discuss incomplete criteria
4. Cancel completion

The task can be completed with incomplete criteria if you accept them.

Choose [1/2/3/4]:

Option 1: Continue with completion, note accepted incomplete criteria Option 2: Exit archiver, user should use /teds-continue to finish work Option 3: Discuss what's needed, then let user decide Option 4: Cancel and return

Confirm Completion

Even if all criteria met, confirm with user:

Ready to complete and archive this task?

Task: {name}
Progress: {progress}%
Duration: {time from created_at to now}

This will:
✓ Finalize all documentation
✓ Extract knowledge summary
✓ Move task to archived_tasks/
✓ Make knowledge available for future tasks

This action cannot be easily undone.

Proceed with completion? [y/n]

Step 2: Finalize Documentation

Add Completion Entry to execution_log.md

cat >> "${TASK_DIR}/execution_log.md" << EOF

---

### $(date +%H:%M) - TASK COMPLETED
- Status: Completed successfully
- Duration: {calculate from created_at to now}

## Full Documentation

Complete task documentation archived at:

{WORKSPACE}/archived_tasks/{TASK_ID}/ ├── manifest.yaml # Task metadata ├── plan.md # Complete execution plan ├── execution_log.md # Full action history ├── knowledge_base.md # All learnings and discoveries ├── context.md # Background and constraints └── status.yaml # Final status

To review full details:
```bash
cd {WORKSPACE}/archived_tasks/{TASK_ID}

Generated: {current timestamp} TEDS Version: 1.0.0 EOF

Fill in all placeholders with actual data.

## Step 4: Archive Task

Move task from active to archived:

```bash
# Create archived_tasks directory if doesn't exist
mkdir -p "${WORKSPACE}/archived_tasks"

# Move task directory
mv "${TASK_DIR}" "${WORKSPACE}/archived_tasks/${TASK_ID}"

# Verify move successful
if test -d "${WORKSPACE}/archived_tasks/${TASK_ID}"; then
  echo "✓ Task archived successfully"
else
  echo "✗ Failed to archive task"
  exit 1
fi

Update path variables:

ARCHIVED_DIR="${WORKSPACE}/archived_tasks/${TASK_ID}"

Step 5: Update Tracking

Add to Task History

Create or update ${WORKSPACE}/task_history.md:

# Create file if doesn't exist
if ! test -f "${WORKSPACE}/task_history.md"; then
  cat > "${WORKSPACE}/task_history.md" << EOF
# TEDS Task History

Chronological list of all completed tasks.

## Completed Tasks

EOF
fi

# Add entry
cat >> "${WORKSPACE}/task_history.md" << EOF
### {name} ({TASK_ID})

- **Completed**: $(date +%Y-%m-%d)
- **Duration**: {duration}
- **Summary**: {brief description}
- **Knowledge**: {count} entries
- **Archive**: archived_tasks/{TASK_ID}/
- **Summary**: knowledge_index/{TASK_ID}-summary.md

EOF

Update Workspace Statistics

If ${WORKSPACE}/stats.yaml exists, update it:

# Increment completed count
# Update last completion date
# Add to total duration
# etc.

Or create if doesn't exist:

total_tasks: 1
active_tasks: {count active}
archived_tasks: 1
total_duration_hours: {duration}
last_completion: {timestamp}
knowledge_entries: {total count}

Step 6: Present Completion Report

Show comprehensive completion report to user:

# 🎉 Task Completed: {name}

**Task ID**: `{TASK_ID}`
**Duration**: {created_at} to {completed_at} ({duration})
**Total Time**: ~{duration in hours} hours over {days} days
**Status**: Successfully completed and archived

Archive Cleanup (Optional)

{If workspace has many archived tasks:} Consider reviewing old archived tasks periodically:

ls -lt {WORKSPACE}/archived_tasks/

Tasks can be compressed or removed after sufficient time (e.g., 6+ months).

## Error Handling

### Task Not Found

❌ Task not found: {TASK_ID}

Possible reasons:

• Task ID incorrect
• Task already archived
• Task doesn't exist

Check:

• Active tasks: ls {WORKSPACE}/active_tasks/
• Archived tasks: ls {WORKSPACE}/archived_tasks/
• Use: /teds-status

If task was already archived, see: {WORKSPACE}/archived_tasks/{TASK_ID}/

### Archive Failure

❌ Failed to archive task

Error: {error message}

Task directory: {TASK_DIR} Target: {WORKSPACE}/archived_tasks/{TASK_ID}

Possible causes:

• Permission issues
• Disk space
• Path too long

Manual fix:

mv {TASK_DIR} {WORKSPACE}/archived_tasks/{TASK_ID}

Check permissions:

ls -la {WORKSPACE}

Need help troubleshooting?

### Knowledge Extraction Failure

⚠️ Task archived but knowledge extraction incomplete

Task successfully moved to archived_tasks/, but:

• Failed to create summary in knowledge_index/

Task archive: {WORKSPACE}/archived_tasks/{TASK_ID}/ ✓ Knowledge summary: FAILED ✗

You can manually create the summary:

cat {WORKSPACE}/archived_tasks/{TASK_ID}/knowledge_base.md
# Review and extract key learnings

Or retry: {Suggest re-running archiver or manual process}

## Cleanup Recommendations

After archiving many tasks:

💡 Workspace Maintenance Tip

You have {count} archived tasks.

Consider:

1. Review old archives (>6 months):

   find {WORKSPACE}/archived_tasks -type d -mtime +180
   

2. Compress old archives:

   tar -czf archive-2024.tar.gz {WORKSPACE}/archived_tasks/202401*
   

3. Move to long-term storage:

   • Keep summaries in knowledge_index/
   • Archive full task data elsewhere

Current space: {du -sh workspace}

## Important Notes

1. **Always verify completion** - Check success criteria
2. **Preserve all knowledge** - Nothing should be lost
3. **Create useful summaries** - They'll be referenced later
4. **Confirm before archiving** - Can't easily undo
5. **Update tracking** - Maintain task history
6. **Extract reusable patterns** - Help future tasks
7. **Be honest about incomplete criteria** - Note what was accepted

## Completion Best Practices

**Good completion**:
- ✅ All or most criteria met
- ✅ Knowledge well documented
- ✅ Clear outcomes
- ✅ Useful summary for future

**Premature completion**:
- ❌ Significant work remaining
- ❌ Many criteria unmet
- ❌ No clear outcome
- ❌ Blocking issues unresolved

**Suggest continuing if**:
- Task <70% complete
- Major features incomplete
- Tests not passing
- Critical bugs remain

Better to continue and finish properly than archive prematurely.
