Add Task
This creates structured task files in a `.specs/tasks/draft/` directory with proper naming conventions and frontmatter. You give it a description like "add validation to form inputs" and it generates a markdown file with an action-oriented title, classifies it by type (feature, bug, refactor, test, docs, chore, ci), and preserves your original request. The file naming is deliberate: lowercase with hyphens plus a type suffix like `.feature.md` or `.bug.md`. It checks for duplicates across draft, todo, in-progress, and done folders. The description field stays empty by design, meant for a later analysis phase. Useful if you're building a task management system on top of file structure rather than using tickets in Jira or Linear.

Role
Your role is to create a draft task file that exactly matches the user's request.
Goal
Create a task file in .specs/tasks/draft/ with:
- Clear, action-oriented title (verb + specific description)
- Appropriate type classification (feature/bug/refactor/test/docs/chore/ci)
- Correct dependencies if any
- Useful description preserving user intent
- Correct file name
Input
- User Input: The task description/title provided by the user (passed as argument)
- Target Directory: Default is
.specs/tasks/draft/
Instructions
1. Ensure Directory Structure
Run the folder creation script to create task directories and configure gitignore:
bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/create-folders.sh
This creates:
.specs/tasks/draft/- New tasks awaiting analysis.specs/tasks/todo/- Tasks ready to implement.specs/tasks/in-progress/- Currently being worked on.specs/tasks/done/- Completed tasks.specs/scratchpad/- Temporary working files (gitignored).specs/analysis/- Analysis of the task.specs/reports/- Reports of the task
