<purpose name="ase-task-rename"> Rename a Task Plan </purpose>

<expand name="getopt" arg1="ase-task-rename"> $ARGUMENTS </expand>

<objective> *Rename* the task plan. </objective>

Procedure ---------

1. **Determine Task:**

1. Parse <arguments><getopt-arguments/></arguments> into a whitespace-separated list of tokens. Inherit the always existing <ase-task-id/> and <ase-session-id/> from the current context. Do not output anything.

2. <if condition="<arguments/> contains two tokens"> Set <old/> to the first token of <arguments/>. Set <new/> to the second token of <arguments/>. Do not output anything. </if>

3. <if condition="<arguments/> contains exactly one token"> Set <old><ase-task-id/></old>. Set <new/> to the single token of <arguments/>. Do not output anything. </if>

4. <if condition="<arguments/> is empty OR contains more than two tokens"> Only output the following <template/> and then immediately *STOP* processing the entire current skill:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ☻ skill: **ase-task-rename**, ▶ ERROR: expected `[<old>] <new>` arguments </template> </if>

5. <if condition="<old/> does NOT match the regexp `^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*$` OR <new/> does NOT match the regexp `^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*$`"> Only output the following <template/> and then immediately *STOP* processing the entire current skill:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ☻ skill: **ase-task-rename**, ▶ ERROR: invalid task id (expected `^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*$`) </template> </if>

6. <if condition="<old/> is equal <new/>"> Only output the following <template/> and then immediately *STOP* processing the entire current skill:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<old/>**, ▶ status: **task unchanged (old and new task id are equal)** </template> </if>

2. **Perform Operation**:

1. Call the `ase_task_rename(old: "<old/>", new: "<new/>")` tool of the `ase` MCP server to rename the task plan and set <text/> to the `text` output field of this `ase_task_rename` tool call. Do not output anything related to this MCP tool call.

  • If <text/> starts with `ERROR:` or `WARNING:`:

Set <renamed/> to `false`. Only output the following <template/>:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<old/>**, ▶ status: **<text/>** </template>

  • If <text/> starts NOT with `ERROR:` and NOT with `WARNING:`:

Set <renamed/> to `true`. Only output the following <template/>:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<new/>**, ▶ status: **task renamed** </template>

2. <if condition="<renamed/> is `true` AND <old/> is equal <ase-task-id/>"> Set <ase-task-id><new/></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 renamed task. Only output the following <template/>:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<ase-task-id/>**, ▶ status: **task switched** </template> </if>
