Arguments: $ARGUMENTS
Enhanced Task Display
Parse arguments to determine what to show and how.
1. **Smart Task Selection**
Based on $ARGUMENTS:
- Number → Show specific task with full context
- "current" → Show active in-progress task(s)
- "next" → Show recommended next task
- "blocked" → Show all blocked tasks with reasons
- "critical" → Show critical path tasks
- Multiple IDs → Comparative view
2. **Contextual Information**
For each task, intelligently include:
**Core Details**
- Full task information (id, title, description, details)
- Current status with history
- Test strategy and acceptance criteria
- Priority and complexity analysis
**Relationships**
- Dependencies (what it needs)
- Dependents (what needs it)
- Parent/subtask hierarchy
- Related tasks (similar work)
**Time Intelligence**
- Created/updated timestamps
- Time in current status
- Estimated vs actual time
- Historical completion patterns
