Add Task to Google Tasks

This command creates a new task in Google Tasks.

Argument Handling

When Arguments Are Provided

If $ARGUMENTS is not empty, intelligently parse the provided text to extract task information.

Arguments received: $ARGUMENTS

The user may provide information in any format - structured flags, natural language, or a mix. Extract whatever information is present:

• Task title: The core task description (required)
• Task list: Which list to add to (optional)
• Due date: When the task is due (optional)
• Notes: Additional details (optional)
• Account: Which Google account to use (optional)
• Parent task: For creating subtasks (optional)

Examples of valid inputs:

• Buy groceries
• Buy groceries --list Shopping --due 2024-03-20
• Buy groceries for the party on Friday
• Add "Call dentist" to my personal account with a note about the annual checkup
• Submit the quarterly report to the Work list, due next Monday
• Pick up dry cleaning - add to my shopping list on my work gmail

Parse natural language dates like "tomorrow", "next Friday", "end of month" into actual dates.

Parse account references like "my personal account", "work gmail", "john@gmail.com" to identify the target account.

When Information is Missing

After parsing $ARGUMENTS, if the task title is still unclear, use AskUserQuestion to ask: "What task would you like to add?"

For other missing information (list, due date, notes, account), only prompt if:

• The user has multiple accounts and didn't specify which one
• The context suggests they intended to provide the information but it's ambiguous

Otherwise, use sensible defaults:

• List: "My Tasks"
• Due date: None
• Notes: None
• Account: Default account

When No Arguments Are Provided

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, use AskUserQuestion to gather information:

1. Task title (required): "What task would you like to add?"
2. Task list (optional): "Which list should this task go in?"
3. Due date (optional): "Does this task have a due date?"
4. Notes (optional): "Any additional notes?"

Invoke the Skill

Once task information is determined, invoke the gtasks-todo-manager skill with:

• Task title
• Target list name
• Due date (if provided)
• Notes (if provided)
• Account (if specified)
• Parent task ID (if creating a subtask)

The skill's Tasks operation handles task creation.

Confirmation

After the skill completes the operation, confirm to the user:

• Task title that was created
• Which list it was added to
• Due date (if set)
