Task Replan Command (/task:replan)

⚠️ DEPRECATION NOTICE: This command is maintained for backward compatibility. For new workflows, use /workflow:replan which provides:

• Session-level replanning with comprehensive artifact updates
• Interactive boundary clarification
• Updates to IMPL_PLAN.md, TODO_LIST.md, and session metadata
• Better integration with workflow sessions

Migration: Replace /task:replan IMPL-1 "changes" with /workflow:replan IMPL-1 "changes"

Overview

Replans individual tasks or batch processes multiple tasks with change tracking and backup management.

Modes:

• Single Task Mode: Replan one task with specific changes
• Batch Mode: Process multiple tasks from action-plan verification report

Key Features

• Single/Batch Operations: Single task or multiple tasks from verification report
• Multiple Input Sources: Text, files, or verification report
• Backup Management: Automatic backup of previous versions
• Change Documentation: Track all modifications
• Progress Tracking: TodoWrite integration for batch operations

CRITICAL: Validates active session before replanning

Operation Modes

Single Task Mode

Direct Text (Default)

/task:replan IMPL-1 "Add OAuth2 authentication support"

File-based Input

/task:replan IMPL-1 updated-specs.md

Supports: .md, .txt, .json, .yaml

Interactive Mode

/task:replan IMPL-1 --interactive

Guided step-by-step modification process with validation

Batch Mode

From Verification Report

/task:replan --batch ACTION_PLAN_VERIFICATION.md

Workflow:

1. Parse verification report to extract replan recommendations
2. Create TodoWrite task list for all modifications
3. Process each task sequentially with confirmation
4. Track progress and generate summary report

Auto-detection: If input file contains "Action Plan Verification Report" header, automatically enters batch mode

Replanning Process

Single Task Process

1. Load & Validate: Read task JSON and validate session
2. Parse Input: Process changes from input source
3. Create Backup: Save previous version to backup folder
4. Update Task: Modify JSON structure and relationships
5. Save Changes: Write updated task and increment version
6. Update Session: Reflect changes in workflow stats

Batch Process

1. Parse Verification Report: Extract all replan recommendations
2. Initialize TodoWrite: Create task list for tracking
3. For Each Task:
   • Mark todo as in_progress
   • Load and validate task JSON
   • Create backup
   • Apply recommended changes
   • Save updated task
   • Mark todo as completed
4. Generate Summary: Report all changes and backup locations

Backup Management

Backup Tracking

Tasks maintain backup history:

{
  "id": "IMPL-1",
  "version": "1.2",
  "replan_history": [
    {
      "version": "1.2",
      "reason": "Add OAuth2 support",
      "input_source": "direct_text",
      "backup_location": ".task/backup/IMPL-1-v1.1.json",
      "timestamp": "2025-10-17T10:30:00Z"
    }
  ]
}

Complete schema: See @~/.claude/workflows/task-core.md

File Structure

Implementation Updates

Change Detection

Tracks modifications to:

• Files in implementation.files array
• Dependencies and affected modules
• Risk assessments and performance notes
• Logic flows and code locations

Analysis Triggers

May require gemini re-analysis when:

• New files need code extraction
• Function locations change
• Dependencies require re-evaluation

Document Updates

Planning Document

May update IMPL_PLAN.md sections when task structure changes significantly

TODO List Sync

If TODO_LIST.md exists, synchronizes:

• New subtasks (with [ ] checkbox)
• Modified tasks (marked as updated)
• Removed subtasks (deleted from list)

Change Documentation

Change Summary

Generates brief change log with:

• Version increment (1.1 → 1.2)
• Input source and reason
• Key modifications made
• Files updated/created
• Backup location

Session Updates

Updates workflow-session.json with:

• Modified task tracking
• Task count changes (if subtasks added/removed)
• Last modification timestamps

Rollback Support

/task:replan IMPL-1 --rollback v1.1

Rollback to version 1.1:
- Restore task from backup/.../IMPL-1-v1.1.json
- Remove new subtasks if any
- Update session stats

# Use AskUserQuestion for confirmation
AskUserQuestion({
  questions: [{
    question: "Are you sure you want to roll back this task to a previous version?",
    header: "Confirm",
    options: [
      { label: "Yes, rollback", description: "Restore the task from the selected backup." },
      { label: "No, cancel", description: "Keep the current version of the task." }
    ],
    multiSelect: false
  }]
})

User selected: "Yes, rollback"

Task rolled back to version 1.1

Batch Processing with TodoWrite

Progress Tracking

When processing multiple tasks, automatically creates TodoWrite task list:

**Batch Replan Progress**:
- [x] IMPL-002: Add FR-12 draft saving acceptance criteria
- [x] IMPL-003: Add FR-14 history tracking acceptance criteria
- [ ] IMPL-004: Add FR-09 response surface explicit coverage
- [ ] IMPL-008: Add NFR performance validation steps

Batch Report

After completion, generates summary:

## Batch Replan Summary

**Total Tasks**: 4
**Successful**: 3
**Failed**: 1
**Skipped**: 0

Error Handling

Single Task Errors

# Task not found
Task IMPL-5 not found
Check task ID with /workflow:status

# Task completed
Task IMPL-1 is completed (cannot replan)
Create new task for additional work

# File not found
File requirements.md not found
Check file path

# No input provided
Please specify changes needed
Provide text, file, or verification report

Batch Mode Errors

# Invalid verification report
File does not contain valid verification report format
Check report structure or use single task mode

# Partial failures
Batch completed with errors: 3/4 successful
Review error details in summary report

# No replan recommendations found
Verification report contains no replan recommendations
Check report content or use /workflow:plan-verify first

Batch Mode Integration

Input Format Expectations

Batch mode parses verification reports looking for:

1. Required Actions Section: Commands like /task:replan IMPL-X "changes"
2. Findings Table: Task IDs with recommendations
3. Next Actions Section: Specific replan commands

Example Patterns:

#### 1. HIGH Priority - Address FR Coverage Gaps
/task:replan IMPL-004 "
Add explicit acceptance criteria:
- FR-09: Response surface 3D visualization
"

#### 2. MEDIUM Priority - Enhance NFR Coverage
/task:replan IMPL-008 "
Add performance testing:
- NFR-01: Load test API endpoints
"

Extraction Logic

1. Scan for /task:replan commands in report
2. Extract task ID and change description
3. Group by priority (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW)
4. Process in priority order with TodoWrite tracking

Confirmation Behavior

• Default: Confirm each task before applying
• With --auto-confirm: Apply all changes without prompting

  /task:replan --batch report.md --auto-confirm
  

Implementation Details

Backup Management

// Backup file naming convention
const backupPath = `.task/backup/${taskId}-v${previousVersion}.json`;

// Backup metadata in task JSON
{
  "replan_history": [
    {
      "version": "1.2",
      "timestamp": "2025-10-17T10:30:00Z",
      "reason": "Add FR-09 explicit coverage",
      "input_source": "batch_verification_report",
      "backup_location": ".task/backup/IMPL-004-v1.1.json"
    }
  ]
}

TodoWrite Integration

// Initialize tracking for batch mode
TodoWrite({
  todos: taskList.map(task => ({
    content: `${task.id}: ${task.changeDescription}`,
    status: "pending",
    activeForm: `Replanning ${task.id}`
  }))
});

// Update progress during processing
TodoWrite({
  todos: updateTaskStatus(taskId, "in_progress")
});

// Mark completed
TodoWrite({
  todos: updateTaskStatus(taskId, "completed")
});
