/set-task

Set the active task for this session. All checkpoints and tracking will be associated with this task.

Steps

1. List available tasks: !ls -1 local-docs/todo/ 2>/dev/null | grep -E '^[0-9]{2}-' | grep -v '^previous-' || echo "No tasks found"

2. If $ARGUMENTS provided:

   Find matching task:

   • If numeric (e.g., "01", "02"): !ls -d local-docs/todo/$1-* 2>/dev/null | head -1
   • If name: !ls -d local-docs/todo/*$1* 2>/dev/null | head -1

   Validate task exists:

   • Check directory exists
   • Check 00-index.md exists

3. If no argument provided:

   Show task selection:

   📋 AVAILABLE TASKS:
   ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
   

   For each task, show:

   • Task number and name
   • Status (from 00-index.md if readable)
   • Brief description

   Prompt: "Enter task number or name to activate:"

4. Set active task in database: !bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/context-db.sh set-active-task "$(cat /tmp/claude-session-id 2>/dev/null || echo "default")" "[TASK-NAME]"

5. Initialize tracking files (if not exist):

   Create CHECKPOINT-LOG.md if missing: !bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/checkpoint-helper.sh init "local-docs/todo/[TASK]" 2>/dev/null

6. Confirm activation:

✅ ACTIVE TASK SET: [task-name]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Task directory: local-docs/todo/[task-name]/
Checkpoint log: CHECKPOINT-LOG.md

📋 Commands available:
• /checkpoint    - Save progress checkpoint
• /task-status   - View current status
• /resume-task   - Reload task context

💡 Use /checkpoint regularly to preserve context.

7. If task doesn't exist, offer to create:

   ⚠️  Task not found: [name]
   
   Would you like to create a new task?
   This will create:
   • local-docs/todo/[NN]-[name]/
   • local-docs/todo/[NN]-[name]/00-index.md
   • local-docs/todo/[NN]-[name]/CHECKPOINT-LOG.md
   
   Follow TODO-WORKFLOW.md conventions for task structure.
   

8. Edge cases:

   • If local-docs/todo/ doesn't exist, guide user to create it
   • If multiple matches, show disambiguation options
   • If task is archived (previous-*), warn user
