<objective> *View* 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. 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-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*$`"> Only output the following <template/> and then immediately *STOP* processing the entire current skill:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ☻ skill: **ase-task-view**, ▶ ERROR: expected single `[<id>]` argument </template> </if>

2. **Perform Operation**:

1. Call the `ase_task_load(id: "<id/>")` tool of the `ase` MCP server to load the task plan content and set <text/> to the `text` output field of this `ase_task_load` tool call. Do not output anything related to this MCP tool call.

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

Set <task-content></task-content> (set task content to empty). Only output the following <template/>:

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

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

Set <task-content><text/></task-content> (set task content to text). Calculate the number of words <words/> of <task-content/>. Only output the following <template/>:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<id/>**, ✪ plan: **<words/>** words, ▶ status: **plan loaded** </template>

2. <if condition="<task-content/> is not empty"> Treat <task-content/> as *verbatim* Markdown. *Render plan*: Only output the following <template/>. If <getopt-option-full/> is *not* `true`, <task-content/> is longer than 90 lines, and a `## IMPLEMENTATION DRAFT` section (from the companion skill `ase-task-preflight`) exists, replace the entire content of the `## IMPLEMENTATION DRAFT` section with `[...]`. Else, do *not* truncate, summarize, or partially show the plan. Use the following <template/>:

<template> <ase-tpl-head title="TASK"/> <task-content/> <ase-tpl-foot title="TASK"/> </template> </if>

3. Finally, give the closing hints by expanding the following (which, depending on the configured <ase-guidance-level/>, may each expand into nothing and hence emit no output at all):

<if condition="<task-content/> is not empty"> <ase-tpl-hint level="normal"> Use `/ase-task-edit` or `/ase-task-grill` to refine this plan, `/ase-task-preflight` to dry-run it, and `/ase-task-implement` to realize it. </ase-tpl-hint>

<if condition="<getopt-option-full/> is not equal `true` and the `## IMPLEMENTATION DRAFT` section was replaced with `[...]`"> <ase-tpl-hint level="verbose"> Use `/ase-task-view --full` to show the elided `IMPLEMENTATION DRAFT` section, too. </ase-tpl-hint> </if> </if> <else> <ase-tpl-hint level="normal"> No plan exists under this task id -- use `/ase-task-list` to see the available tasks and `/ase-task-edit` to create a plan. </ase-tpl-hint> </else>
