# Task ID: 92 # Title: Add Global Joke Flag to All CLI Commands # Status: pending # Dependencies: 2 # Priority: medium # Description: Implement a global --joke flag that can be added to any command to include a programming-related joke with the command's output. # Details: Implement a global joke feature that enhances all CLI commands with optional humor. The implementation should: 1. **Global Flag Implementation**: Add a global --joke flag (with -j shorthand) to the Commander.js configuration in the CLI foundation that can be used with any command. 2. **Joke Service Module**: Create a new module (scripts/modules/joke-service.js) that: - Maintains a curated collection of programming, development, and tech-related jokes - Provides a getRandomJoke() function that returns a formatted joke - Includes categories like programming languages, debugging, project management, etc. - Ensures jokes are appropriate and professional 3. **Output Integration**: Modify the existing output formatting utilities to: - Check for the --joke flag in global options - Append a formatted joke section to command results when the flag is present - Maintain proper formatting and spacing between regular output and jokes - Ensure jokes don't interfere with JSON output mode (--json flag) 4. **Command Integration**: Update all existing commands to support the joke flag by: - Modifying output functions to check for the joke flag - Ensuring consistent joke placement across all command types - Maintaining backward compatibility with existing command behavior 5. **Configuration Options**: Add configuration support for: - Enabling/disabling joke categories - Custom joke collections via configuration files - Joke frequency settings for repeated command usage The implementation should be non-intrusive, maintaining all existing functionality while adding this optional enhancement feature. # Test Strategy: Verify implementation through comprehensive testing: 1. **Flag Recognition Testing**: Test that the --joke and -j flags are properly recognized across all existing commands (list, add, update, move, plan, etc.) 2. **Output Format Testing**: - Verify jokes appear correctly formatted after normal command output - Test that jokes don't appear when flag is not used - Confirm JSON output mode (--json) excludes jokes or formats them appropriately - Test joke formatting with various command output lengths and types 3. **Joke Content Testing**: - Verify jokes are appropriate and professional - Test that getRandomJoke() returns different jokes on multiple calls - Confirm joke categories are working correctly 4. **Integration Testing**: Test the joke flag with: - Simple commands (list, help) - Complex commands with multiple outputs (update, plan) - Error scenarios to ensure jokes don't appear with error messages - Combination with other global flags (--quiet, --debug, --json) 5. **Performance Testing**: Ensure the joke feature doesn't impact command execution speed or memory usage significantly 6. **Regression Testing**: Run existing test suite to confirm no existing functionality is broken by the joke feature implementation # Subtasks: ## 1. Update CLI foundation to support global flags [pending] ### Dependencies: None ### Description: Modify the core CLI framework to recognize and handle global flags like --joke across all commands, ensuring proper flag parsing and propagation throughout the application. ### Details: Implement global flag parsing mechanism, update command dispatcher to handle global flags, ensure flag inheritance across subcommands, and maintain backward compatibility with existing flag handling. ## 2. Develop the joke-service module with joke management and category support [pending] ### Dependencies: None ### Description: Create a dedicated service module for managing jokes, including joke retrieval, categorization, and content management functionality. ### Details: Build joke storage/retrieval system, implement category-based joke selection, create joke content validation, add support for custom joke sources, and ensure thread-safe operations. ## 3. Integrate joke output into existing output utilities [pending] ### Dependencies: 92.1, 92.2 ### Description: Modify output formatting utilities to seamlessly incorporate joke content without disrupting existing output formats, especially JSON output. ### Details: Update output formatters to handle joke injection, ensure JSON output compatibility, implement conditional joke display logic, and maintain output consistency across different formats. ## 4. Update all CLI commands for joke flag compatibility [pending] ### Dependencies: 92.1, 92.3 ### Description: Modify every existing CLI command to recognize and properly handle the global --joke flag while maintaining their core functionality. ### Details: Update command handlers to process joke flag, integrate with output utilities, ensure no interference with command-specific logic, and maintain existing command behavior when flag is not used. ## 5. Add configuration options for joke categories and custom jokes [pending] ### Dependencies: 92.2 ### Description: Implement configuration management for joke preferences, including category selection, custom joke sources, and user-defined joke content. ### Details: Create configuration schema for joke settings, implement category preference management, add custom joke import/export functionality, and ensure configuration persistence across sessions. ## 6. Implement comprehensive testing [pending] ### Dependencies: 92.1, 92.2, 92.3, 92.4, 92.5 ### Description: Develop thorough test coverage including flag recognition, output verification, content validation, integration testing, performance testing, and regression testing. ### Details: Create unit tests for joke service, integration tests for flag handling, output format validation tests, performance benchmarks, regression test suite, and end-to-end testing scenarios. ## 7. Update documentation and usage examples [pending] ### Dependencies: 92.6 ### Description: Comprehensive documentation update including usage examples, configuration guides, and integration instructions for the new --joke flag functionality. ### Details: Update CLI help text, create usage examples for different scenarios, document configuration options, add troubleshooting guide, and update API documentation for developers.
