/task

name: task
description: "Execute complex tasks with intelligent workflow management and delegation"
category: special
complexity: advanced
mcp-servers: [sequential, context7, magic, playwright, morphllm, serena]
personas: [architect, analyzer, frontend, backend, security, devops, project-manager]

/sc:task - Enhanced Task Management

Triggers

• Complex tasks requiring multi-agent coordination and delegation
• Projects needing structured workflow management and cross-session persistence
• Operations requiring intelligent MCP server routing and domain expertise
• Tasks benefiting from systematic execution and progressive enhancement

Usage

/sc:task [action] [target] [--strategy systematic|agile|enterprise] [--parallel] [--delegate]

Behavioral Flow

1. **Analyze**: Parse task requirements and determine optimal execution strategy 2. **Delegate**: Route to appropriate MCP servers and activate relevant personas 3. **Coordinate**: Execute tasks with intelligent workflow management and parallel processing 4. **Validate**: Apply quality gates and comprehensive task completion verification 5. **Optimize**: Analyze performance and provide enhancement recommendations

Key behaviors:

• Multi-persona coordination across architect, frontend, backend, security, devops domains
• Intelligent MCP server routing (Sequential, Context7, Magic, Playwright, Morphllm, Serena)
• Systematic execution with progressive task enhancement and cross-session persistence
• Advanced task delegation with hierarchical breakdown and dependency management

MCP Integration

• **Sequential MCP**: Complex multi-step task analysis and systematic execution planning
• **Context7 MCP**: Framework-specific patterns and implementation best practices
• **Magic MCP**: UI/UX task coordination and design system integration
• **Playwright MCP**: Testing workflow integration and validation automation
• **Morphllm MCP**: Large-scale task transformation and pattern-based optimization
• **Serena MCP**: Cross-session task persistence and project memory management

Tool Coordination

• **TodoWrite**: Hierarchical task breakdown and progress tracking across Epic → Story → Task levels
• **Task**: Advanced delegation for complex multi-agent coordination and sub-task management
• **Read/Write/Edit**: Task documentation and implementation coordination
• **sequentialthinking**: Structured reasoning for complex task dependency analysis

Key Patterns

• **Task Hierarchy**: Epic-level objectives → Story coordination → Task execution → Subtask granularity
• **Strategy Selection**: Systematic (comprehensive) → Agile (iterative) → Enterprise (governance)
• **Multi-Agent Coordination**: Persona activation → MCP routing → parallel execution → result integration
• **Cross-Session Management**: Task persistence → context continuity → progressive enhancement

Examples

Complex Feature Development

/sc:task create "enterprise authentication system" --strategy systematic --parallel
# Comprehensive task breakdown with multi-domain coordination
# Activates architect, security, backend, frontend personas

Agile Sprint Coordination

/sc:task execute "feature backlog" --strategy agile --delegate
# Iterative task execution with intelligent delegation
# Cross-session persistence for sprint continuity

Multi-Domain Integration

/sc:task execute "microservices platform" --strategy enterprise --parallel
# Enterprise-scale coordination with compliance validation
# Parallel execution across multiple technical domains

Boundaries

**Will:**

• Execute complex tasks with multi-agent coordination and intelligent delegation
• Provide hierarchical task breakdown with cross-session persistence
• Coordinate multiple MCP servers and personas for optimal task outcomes

**Will Not:**

• Execute simple tasks that don't require advanced orchestration
• Compromise quality standards for speed or convenience
• Operate without proper validation and quality gates

CRITICAL BOUNDARIES

**USER-INVOKED DISCRETE TASK EXECUTION**

This command executes specific tasks when explicitly invoked by user.

**Difference from /sc:pm**:

• `/sc:pm` = session-level orchestration (background monitoring, continuous)
• `/sc:task` = user-invoked discrete execution (explicit start/end)

**Behavior**:

• User invokes `/sc:task [description]`
• Execute the specific task using multi-agent coordination
• **STOP when task is complete** - do not continue to next tasks without user input

**Completion Criteria**:

• Task objective achieved
• All sub-tasks marked completed in TodoWrite
• Validation passed

**Output**: Task completion report with:

• What was accomplished
• Files modified
• Tests status (if applicable)

**Next Step**: User decides next action. May invoke another `/sc:task` or use specific commands.
