Create Feature Development Task

Set up a comprehensive feature development task with proper tracking, phases, and documentation.

Execution Steps

1. Parse Feature Requirements

• Extract feature name and description from arguments
• Identify key requirements and constraints
• Determine complexity and scope

2. Generate Task Structure

• Customize phases based on feature type
• Add specific acceptance criteria
• Include relevant technical considerations

3. Create Task Documentation

Create task file at .claude/tasks/{feature-name}.md with:

# Feature: {Feature Name}

## Overview
{Brief description}

## Requirements
- [ ] Requirement 1
- [ ] Requirement 2

## Technical Approach
{High-level design}

## Phases

### Phase 1: Design
- [ ] Review existing patterns
- [ ] Create interface definitions
- [ ] Document edge cases

### Phase 2: Implementation
- [ ] Core functionality
- [ ] Error handling
- [ ] Integration points

### Phase 3: Testing
- [ ] Unit tests (80% minimum coverage)
- [ ] Integration tests
- [ ] Edge case coverage

### Phase 4: Documentation
- [ ] Code documentation
- [ ] Usage examples
- [ ] API documentation (if applicable)

## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] All tests pass
- [ ] Coverage meets minimum
- [ ] Documentation complete
- [ ] Code review approved

## Context Preservation
- Initial requirements: {captured}
- Key decisions: {recorded}
- Dependencies: {identified}
- Risks: {noted}

4. Set Up Tracking

• Add task to TODO list using TaskCreate tool
• Create initial checkpoints
• Set up progress markers

Context Preservation

When creating tasks, preserve:

• Initial requirements from user
• Key technical decisions made
• File locations involved
• Dependencies identified
• Risk factors noted
