# Task ID: 43

|
# Title: Add Research Flag to Add-Task Command
|
|
# Status: done
|
|
# Dependencies: None
|
|
# Priority: medium
|
|
# Description: Implement a '--research' flag for the add-task command that enables users to automatically generate research-related subtasks when creating a new task.
|
|
# Details:
|
|
Modify the add-task command to accept a new optional flag '--research'. When this flag is provided, the system should automatically generate and attach a set of research-oriented subtasks to the newly created task. These subtasks should follow a standard research methodology structure:
|
|
|
|
1. Background Investigation: Research existing solutions and approaches
|
|
2. Requirements Analysis: Define specific requirements and constraints
|
|
3. Technology/Tool Evaluation: Compare potential technologies or tools for implementation
|
|
4. Proof of Concept: Create a minimal implementation to validate approach
|
|
5. Documentation: Document findings and recommendations
|
|
|
|
The implementation should:
|
|
- Update the command-line argument parser to recognize the new flag
|
|
- Create a dedicated function to generate the research subtasks with appropriate descriptions
|
|
- Ensure subtasks are properly linked to the parent task
|
|
- Update help documentation to explain the new flag
|
|
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing add-task functionality
|
|
|
|
The research subtasks should be customized based on the main task's title and description when possible, rather than using generic templates.
|
|
|
|
# Test Strategy:
|
|
Testing should verify both the functionality and usability of the new feature:
|
|
|
|
1. Unit tests:
|
|
- Test that the '--research' flag is properly parsed
|
|
- Verify the correct number and structure of subtasks are generated
|
|
- Ensure subtask IDs are correctly assigned and linked to the parent task
|
|
|
|
2. Integration tests:
|
|
- Create a task with the research flag and verify all subtasks appear in the task list
|
|
- Test that the research flag works with other existing flags (e.g., --priority, --depends-on)
|
|
- Verify the task and subtasks are properly saved to the storage backend
|
|
|
|
3. Manual testing:
|
|
- Run 'taskmaster add-task "Test task" --research' and verify the output
|
|
- Check that the help documentation correctly describes the new flag
|
|
- Verify the research subtasks have meaningful descriptions
|
|
- Test the command with and without the flag to ensure backward compatibility
|
|
|
|
4. Edge cases:
|
|
- Test with very short or very long task descriptions
|
|
- Verify behavior when maximum task/subtask limits are reached
