Task Draft

Create a local task draft for review before uploading.

This command requires user input describing the task (title, what it's about, etc.).

Username is loaded from the TASK_USERNAME variable — first from .env in the current working directory, then from ~/.claude/.env as a global fallback. This user will be the manager of the task.

Step 0: Load Username

Load the username by reading .env in the current working directory and extracting the TASK_USERNAME value. If the variable is missing or empty, try ~/.claude/.env as a fallback. If still missing in both locations, tell the user to set it in either .env (project-level) or ~/.claude/.env (global) and stop.

Step 1: Parse User Input

From the user's input (provided as the command argument), determine:

• Title: A concise task title (max 500 chars)
• Description: A brief summary sentence followed by bullet points breaking down key items, subtasks, or requirements. If the user gives a short input, expand it into a summary + bullet points.
• Priority: One of low, medium, high, urgent, critical. Default to medium unless the user indicates urgency.

Step 2: Ask for Project

Ask the user which project this task belongs to. Fetch the active projects list:

curl -s "https://api-erp.tadreamk.com/api/v1/task-projects/active-list" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

Load the auth token from WEBAPP_ACCESS_TOKEN — first from .env in the current working directory, then from ~/.claude/.env as a fallback.

Present the projects as options for the user to pick from, plus a "None" option for no project.

Step 3: Save Draft

Generate a slug from the title: lowercase, replace spaces and special chars with hyphens, remove consecutive hyphens, trim to reasonable length. Prefix with {YYMMDD}_{HHMM}_ using the current date and time. Example: "Create a list of commands" at 2026-03-04 15:30 becomes 260304_1530_create-a-list-of-commands.

Create a Markdown draft file at data/tasks/<YYMMDD_HHMM_slug>.md with:

# <title>

- **Priority**: <priority>
- **Status**: in_queue
- **Start date**: <today's date YYYY-MM-DD>
- **Project**: <project title or "None">
- **Project ID**: <project id or "None">
- **Manager**: <TASK_USERNAME>

## Description

<brief summary sentence>

- <key item or subtask>
- <key item or subtask>
- ...

Create the data/tasks/ directory if it doesn't exist.

If data/tasks/<YYMMDD_HHMM_slug>.md already exists, ask the user whether to overwrite or save as <YYMMDD_HHMM_slug>_<N>.md (increment N).

Step 4: Display Summary

Show the draft summary:

Task draft saved to data/tasks/<YYMMDD_HHMM_slug>.md

Title: <title>
Priority: <priority>
Project: <project title or "None">
Manager: <TASK_USERNAME>
