Remove a task permanently from the project.
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS (task ID)
Delete a task and handle all its relationships properly.
## Task Removal
Permanently removes a task while maintaining project integrity.
## Argument Parsing
- "remove task 5"
- "delete 5"
- "5" → remove task 5
- Can include "-y" for auto-confirm
## Execution
```bash
task-master remove-task --id=<id> [-y]
```
## Pre-Removal Analysis
1. **Task Details**
- Current status
- Work completed
- Time invested
- Associated data
2. **Relationship Check**
- Tasks that depend on this
- Dependencies this task has
- Subtasks that will be removed
- Blocking implications
3. **Impact Assessment**
```
Task Removal Impact
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Task: #5 "Implement authentication" (in-progress)
Status: 60% complete (~8 hours work)
Will affect:
- 3 tasks depend on this (will be blocked)
- Has 4 subtasks (will be deleted)
- Part of critical path
⚠️ This action cannot be undone
```
## Smart Warnings
- Warn if task is in-progress
- Show dependent tasks that will be blocked
- Highlight if part of critical path
- Note any completed work being lost
## Removal Process
1. Show comprehensive impact
2. Require confirmation (unless -y)
3. Update dependent task references
4. Remove task and subtasks
5. Clean up orphaned dependencies
6. Log removal with timestamp
## Alternative Actions
Suggest before deletion:
- Mark as cancelled instead
- Convert to documentation
- Archive task data
- Transfer work to another task
## Post-Removal
- List affected tasks
- Show broken dependencies
- Update project statistics
- Suggest dependency fixes
- Recalculate timeline
## Example Flows
```
/taskmaster:remove-task 5
→ Task #5 is in-progress with 8 hours logged
→ 3 other tasks depend on this
→ Suggestion: Mark as cancelled instead?
Remove anyway? (y/n)
/taskmaster:remove-task 5 -y
→ Removed: Task #5 and 4 subtasks
→ Updated: 3 task dependencies
→ Warning: Tasks #7, #8, #9 now have missing dependency
→ Run /taskmaster:fix-dependencies to resolve
```
## Safety Features
- Confirmation required
- Impact preview
- Removal logging
- Suggest alternatives
- No cascade delete of dependents
