Instructions

1. Parse the command for:

   • title: Task description (required)
   • project: Project to link (after "for")
   • dueBy: Hard deadline (after "due") - parse natural language
   • doDate: When to start working (after "start" or "do")
   • priority: high/medium/low (after "priority")
   • subtasks: If "with subtasks" mentioned, prompt for subtask titles

2. Defaults:

   • priority: medium
   • dueBy: null
   • doDate: null
   • project: null (or infer from recent context)
   • parentTask: null
   • subtasks: []

3. Generate filename: Task - {{title}}.md

4. Create task in vault root:

---
type: Task
title: {{ title }}
created: {{ DATE }}
modified: {{ DATE }}
completed: false
priority: {{ priority }}
doDate: {{ do_date or null }}
dueBy: {{ due_date or null }}
project: {{ project_link or null }}
assignedTo: ["[[Your Name]]"]
parentTask: {{ parent_task_link or null }}
subtasks: {{ subtask_links or [] }}
tags: []
---

# {{title}}

## Description

{{title expanded if needed}}

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ]

## Subtasks

{{list of subtask links if any}}

## Notes

## Related

{{project link if provided}}

5. If project provided:

   • Format as wiki-link: "[[Project - MyProject]]"
   • Fuzzy match project name if partial

6. If due date provided:

   • Parse natural language: "Friday" → next Friday's date
   • "tomorrow" → tomorrow's date
   • "next week" → Monday of next week
   • Format as YYYY-MM-DD

7. If subtasks requested:

   • Prompt for subtask titles (or parse from context)
   • Create each subtask as a separate Task note
   • Link subtasks in parent's subtasks array
   • Set each subtask's parentTask field to parent

8. Subtask conventions:

   • Parent task: subtasks: ["[[Task - Subtask 1]]", "[[Task - Subtask 2]]"]
   • Child task: parentTask: "[[Task - Parent Task]]"
   • Parent completion: only mark complete when all subtasks complete
   • Child inherits project/priority from parent unless overridden

9. After creating:

   • Confirm creation with file path
   • Show task summary
   • List any created subtasks
   • Suggest adding to daily note
