Ralph Khreish 4629128943 fix: task master (tm) custom slash commands w/ proper syntax (#968 )

* feat: add task master (tm) custom slash commands

Add comprehensive task management system integration via custom slash commands.
Includes commands for:
- Project initialization and setup
- Task parsing from PRD documents
- Task creation, update, and removal
- Subtask management
- Dependency tracking and validation
- Complexity analysis and task expansion
- Project status and reporting
- Workflow automation

This provides a complete task management workflow directly within Claude Code.

Raw Blame History

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

task-master add-subtask --parent=<parent-id> --task-id=<task-to-convert>

Pre-Conversion Checks

Validation
- Both tasks exist and are valid
- No circular parent relationships
- Task isn't already a subtask
- Logical hierarchy makes sense
Impact Analysis
- Dependencies that will be affected
- Tasks that depend on converting task
- Priority alignment needed
- Status compatibility

Conversion Process

Change task ID from "8" to "5.1" (next available)
Update all dependency references
Inherit parent's context where appropriate
Adjust priorities if needed
Update time estimates

Smart Features

Preserve task history
Maintain dependencies
Update all references
Create conversion log

Example

/project:tm/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
