Remove a task permanently from the project.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS (task ID)

Delete a task and handle all its relationships properly.

Task Removal

Permanently removes a task while maintaining project integrity.

Argument Parsing

  • "remove task 5"
  • "delete 5"
  • "5" → remove task 5
  • Can include "-y" for auto-confirm

Execution

task-master remove-task --id=<id> [-y]

Pre-Removal Analysis

  1. Task Details

    • Current status
    • Work completed
    • Time invested
    • Associated data
  2. Relationship Check

    • Tasks that depend on this
    • Dependencies this task has
    • Subtasks that will be removed
    • Blocking implications
  3. Impact Assessment

    Task Removal Impact
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    Task: #5 "Implement authentication" (in-progress)
    Status: 60% complete (~8 hours work)
    
    Will affect:
    - 3 tasks depend on this (will be blocked)
    - Has 4 subtasks (will be deleted)
    - Part of critical path
    
    ⚠️  This action cannot be undone
    

Smart Warnings

  • Warn if task is in-progress
  • Show dependent tasks that will be blocked
  • Highlight if part of critical path
  • Note any completed work being lost

Removal Process

  1. Show comprehensive impact
  2. Require confirmation (unless -y)
  3. Update dependent task references
  4. Remove task and subtasks
  5. Clean up orphaned dependencies
  6. Log removal with timestamp

Alternative Actions

Suggest before deletion:

  • Mark as cancelled instead
  • Convert to documentation
  • Archive task data
  • Transfer work to another task

Post-Removal

  • List affected tasks
  • Show broken dependencies
  • Update project statistics
  • Suggest dependency fixes
  • Recalculate timeline

Example Flows

/project:tm/remove-task 5
→ Task #5 is in-progress with 8 hours logged
→ 3 other tasks depend on this
→ Suggestion: Mark as cancelled instead?
Remove anyway? (y/n)

/project:tm/remove-task 5 -y
→ Removed: Task #5 and 4 subtasks
→ Updated: 3 task dependencies
→ Warning: Tasks #7, #8, #9 now have missing dependency
→ Run /project:tm/fix-dependencies to resolve

Safety Features

  • Confirmation required
  • Impact preview
  • Removal logging
  • Suggest alternatives
  • No cascade delete of dependents
