<purpose name="ase-task-delete"> Delete a Task Plan </purpose>
<expand name="getopt" arg1="ase-task-delete"> $ARGUMENTS </expand>
<objective> *Delete* the task plan. </objective>
Procedure ---------
1. **Determine Task:**
1. Set <id><getopt-arguments/></id> initially, with any leading and trailing whitespace stripped. Inherit the always existing <ase-task-id/> from the current context. Inherit the always existing <ase-session-id/> from the current context. Do not output anything.
2. <if condition="<id/> is empty"> Set <id><ase-task-id/></id> Do not output anything. </if>
3. <if condition="<id/> does NOT match the regexp `^[a-zA-Z0-9#][a-zA-Z0-9#_-]*$`"> Only output the following <template/> and then immediately *STOP* processing the entire current skill:
<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ☻ skill: **ase-task-delete**, ▶ ERROR: expected single `[<id>]` argument </template> </if>
2. **Perform Operation:**
1. Call the `ase_task_delete(id: "<id/>")` tool of the `ase` MCP server to delete the task plan content and set <text/> to the `text` output field of this `ase_task_delete` tool call. Do not output anything related to this MCP tool call.
- If <text/> starts with `ERROR:` or `WARNING:`:
Set <deleted>false</deleted> and only output the following <template/>:
<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<id/>**, ▶ status: **<text/>** </template>
- If <text/> does NOT start with `ERROR:` and NOT with `WARNING:`:
Set <deleted>true</deleted> and only output the following <template/>:
<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<id/>**, ▶ status: **task deleted** </template>
2. <if condition="<deleted/> is equal 'true' AND <id/> is equal <ase-task-id/> AND <ase-task-id/> is not equal 'default'"> Set <ase-task-id>default</ase-task-id>. Call the `ase_task_id(id: "<ase-task-id/>", session: "<ase-session-id/>")` tool from the `ase` MCP server to switch the task to the default task. Only output the following <template/>:
<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<ase-task-id/>**, ▶ status: **task switched to default** </template> </if>
