- Unify convertAllRulesToProfileRules() to handle all profiles consistently
- Fix mcpConfigPath construction in base-profile.js for null mcpConfigName
- Update terminology from 'simpleProfiles' to 'assetOnlyProfiles' throughout
- Ensure Claude .claude directory copying works in both CLI and MCP contexts
- All profiles now follow same execution flow with proper lifecycle functions

Changes:
- src/profiles/claude.js: Convert to createProfile() factory pattern
- src/profiles/codex.js: Convert to createProfile() factory pattern
- src/utils/rule-transformer.js: Unified profile handling logic
- src/utils/profiles.js: Remove simple profile categorization
- src/profiles/base-profile.js: Fix mcpConfigPath construction
- scripts/modules/commands.js: Update variable naming
- tests/: Update all tests for unified system and terminology

Clear all subtasks from a specific task.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS (task ID)

Remove all subtasks from a parent task at once.

Clearing Subtasks

Bulk removal of all subtasks from a parent task.

Execution

task-master clear-subtasks --id=<task-id>

Pre-Clear Analysis

  1. Subtask Summary

    • Number of subtasks
    • Completion status of each
    • Work already done
    • Dependencies affected
  2. Impact Assessment

    • Data that will be lost
    • Dependencies to be removed
    • Effect on project timeline
    • Parent task implications

Confirmation Required

Clear Subtasks Confirmation
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Parent Task: #5 "Implement user authentication"
Subtasks to remove: 4
- #5.1 "Setup auth framework" (done)
- #5.2 "Create login form" (in-progress)
- #5.3 "Add validation" (pending)
- #5.4 "Write tests" (pending)

⚠️  This will permanently delete all subtask data
Continue? (y/n)

Smart Features

  • Option to convert to standalone tasks
  • Backup task data before clearing
  • Preserve completed work history
  • Update parent task appropriately

Process

  1. List all subtasks for confirmation
  2. Check for in-progress work
  3. Remove all subtasks
  4. Update parent task
  5. Clean up dependencies

Alternative Options

Suggest alternatives:

  • Convert important subtasks to tasks
  • Keep completed subtasks
  • Archive instead of delete
  • Export subtask data first

Post-Clear

  • Show updated parent task
  • Recalculate time estimates
  • Update task complexity
  • Suggest next steps

Example

/project:tm/clear-subtasks 5
→ Found 4 subtasks to remove
→ Warning: Subtask #5.2 is in-progress
→ Cleared all subtasks from task #5
→ Updated parent task estimates
→ Suggestion: Consider re-expanding with better breakdown
