Taskmaster

# Task ID: 3 # Title: Create standardized prompt builder # Status: pending # Dependencies: 1 # Priority: medium # Description: Implement a function to build the standardized prompt for claude-code based on the task details # Details: Create a function in the StartCommand class that builds the standardized prompt according to the template provided in the PRD. The prompt should include instructions for Claude to first run `tm show <task_id>` to get task details, and then implement the required changes. ```typescript private buildPrompt(taskId: string): string { return `You are an AI coding assistant with access to this repository's codebase. First, run this command to get the task details: tm show ${taskId} Then implement the task with these requirements: - Make the SMALLEST number of code changes possible - Follow ALL existing patterns in the codebase (you have access to analyze the code) - Do NOT over-engineer the solution - Use existing files/functions/patterns wherever possible - When complete, print: COMPLETED: <brief summary of changes> Begin by running tm show ${taskId} to understand what needs to be implemented.`; } ``` <info added on 2025-09-12T02:40:01.812Z> The prompt builder function will handle task context retrieval by instructing Claude to use the task-master show command. This approach ensures Claude has access to all necessary task details before implementation begins. The command syntax "tm show ${taskId}" embedded in the prompt will direct Claude to first gather the complete task context, including description, requirements, and any existing implementation details, before proceeding with code changes. </info added on 2025-09-12T02:40:01.812Z> # Test Strategy: Verify the prompt is correctly formatted by calling the function with a sample task ID and checking that the output matches the expected template with the task ID properly inserted.
