Convert an existing task into a subtask.
|
|
|
|
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS
|
|
|
|
Parse parent ID and task ID to convert.
|
|
|
|
## Task Conversion
|
|
|
|
Converts an existing standalone task into a subtask of another task.
|
|
|
|
## Argument Parsing
|
|
|
|
- "move task 8 under 5"
|
|
- "make 8 a subtask of 5"
|
|
- "nest 8 in 5"
|
|
- "5 8" → make task 8 a subtask of task 5
|
|
|
|
## Execution
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task-master add-subtask --parent=<parent-id> --task-id=<task-to-convert>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Pre-Conversion Checks
|
|
|
|
1. **Validation**
|
|
- Both tasks exist and are valid
|
|
- No circular parent relationships
|
|
- Task isn't already a subtask
|
|
- Logical hierarchy makes sense
|
|
|
|
2. **Impact Analysis**
|
|
- Dependencies that will be affected
|
|
- Tasks that depend on converting task
|
|
- Priority alignment needed
|
|
- Status compatibility
|
|
|
|
## Conversion Process
|
|
|
|
1. Change task ID from "8" to "5.1" (next available)
|
|
2. Update all dependency references
|
|
3. Inherit parent's context where appropriate
|
|
4. Adjust priorities if needed
|
|
5. Update time estimates
|
|
|
|
## Smart Features
|
|
|
|
- Preserve task history
|
|
- Maintain dependencies
|
|
- Update all references
|
|
- Create conversion log
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/taskmaster:add-subtask/from-task 5 8
|
|
→ Converting: Task #8 becomes subtask #5.1
|
|
→ Updated: 3 dependency references
|
|
→ Parent task #5 now has 1 subtask
|
|
→ Note: Subtask inherits parent's priority
|
|
|
|
Before: #8 "Implement validation" (standalone)
|
|
After: #5.1 "Implement validation" (subtask of #5)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Post-Conversion
|
|
|
|
- Show new task hierarchy
|
|
- List updated dependencies
|
|
- Verify project integrity
|
|
- Suggest related conversions |
