Get Task

Retrieve full details of a specific task — no CLI required.

Instructions

The user's query is in $ARGUMENTS (a task ID like 077 or a task name/keyword).

1. Find the task directory:

   • Read .taskmd.yaml if it exists to check for a custom dir field
   • Default to tasks if not configured

2. Find the task file:

   • Use Glob for <task-dir>/**/*$ARGUMENTS*.md to find files matching the ID or keyword
   • If multiple matches, read each file's frontmatter to find the one with id matching $ARGUMENTS
   • If no match by filename, use Glob for <task-dir>/**/*.md and read frontmatter of each to find a matching id
   • If still no match, list available tasks and ask the user which one they meant

3. Read the full task file using the Read tool

4. Present the task including:

   • All frontmatter fields (ID, title, status, priority, effort, type, tags, owner, dependencies, etc.)
   • The full markdown body (objective, tasks/subtasks, acceptance criteria)
   • The file path for reference

See SPEC_REFERENCE.md (in the plugin root) for valid field values and frontmatter schema.
