Add new tasks with intelligent parsing and context awareness.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Smart Task Addition

Parse natural language to create well-structured tasks.

1. Input Understanding

I'll intelligently parse your request:

• Natural language → Structured task
• Detect priority from keywords (urgent, ASAP, important)
• Infer dependencies from context
• Suggest complexity based on description
• Determine task type (feature, bug, refactor, test, docs)

2. Smart Parsing Examples

"Add urgent task to fix login bug" → Title: Fix login bug → Priority: high → Type: bug → Suggested complexity: medium

"Create task for API documentation after task 23 is done" → Title: API documentation → Dependencies: [23] → Type: documentation → Priority: medium

"Need to refactor auth module - depends on 12 and 15, high complexity" → Title: Refactor auth module → Dependencies: [12, 15] → Complexity: high → Type: refactor

3. Context Enhancement

Based on current project state:

• Suggest related existing tasks
• Warn about potential conflicts
• Recommend dependencies
• Propose subtasks if complex

4. Interactive Refinement

Task Preview:
─────────────
Title: [Extracted title]
Priority: [Inferred priority]
Dependencies: [Detected dependencies]
Complexity: [Estimated complexity]

Suggestions:
- Similar task #34 exists, consider as dependency?
- This seems complex, break into subtasks?
- Tasks #45-47 work on same module

5. Validation & Creation

Before creating:

• Validate dependencies exist
• Check for duplicates
• Ensure logical ordering
• Verify task completeness

6. Smart Defaults

Intelligent defaults based on:

• Task type patterns
• Team conventions
• Historical data
• Current sprint/phase

Result: High-quality tasks from minimal input.
