Overview

A workflow to add a new task to the backlog with all relevant fields set in one pass.


When to Run

  • When the user wants to register a new task or idea
  • When a new requirement surfaces during development
  • When creating a child task under an existing parent

Workflow

1. Collect Task Information

Gather the following from the user. Fields marked optional can be skipped if not provided.

Field Required Notes
Title Yes Short, descriptive task title
Body No Detailed description, background, acceptance criteria
Tags No One or more from the canonical tag list (see below)
Priority No critical / high / medium / low (default: medium)
Parent task ID No ID of an existing task to nest this task under

Canonical tag list (in priority order):

Tag Use when
bug Something is broken
security Security-related concern
improvement Enhancement to existing functionality
test Test coverage or QA
performance Speed or resource optimization
refactor Code quality, no behavior change
docs Documentation

2. Create the Task

agkan task add "<title>" "<body>"

If no body is provided:

agkan task add "<title>"

Note the task ID returned from the command output.

3. Attach Tags (if any)

For each tag:

agkan tag attach <task-id> <tag-name>

4. Set Priority (if not medium)

agkan task meta set <task-id> priority <value>

Skip this step if priority is medium (the default).

5. Set Parent Task (if applicable)

agkan task update-parent <task-id> <parent-id>

6. Show Summary

Retrieve and display the created task:

agkan task get <task-id>

Output a concise summary to the user:

  • ID and title
  • Status (should be backlog)
  • Tags attached
  • Priority
  • Parent task (if set)

Important Notes

  • Tasks are always created with backlog status by default
  • Do not move to ready — that is handled by execute-planning
  • If the user provides a parent ID, verify it exists before setting the relationship
  • When in doubt about tags, ask the user rather than guessing
