Arguments: $ARGUMENTS Parse the task IDs to establish dependency relationship. ## Adding Dependencies Creates a dependency where one task must be completed before another can start. ## Argument Parsing Parse natural language or IDs: - "make 5 depend on 3" → task 5 depends on task 3 - "5 needs 3" → task 5 depends on task 3 - "5 3" → task 5 depends on task 3 - "5 after 3" → task 5 depends on task 3 ## Execution \`\`\`bash task-master add-dependency --id=<task-id> --depends-on=<dependency-id> \`\`\` ## Validation Before adding: 1. **Verify both tasks exist** 2. **Check for circular dependencies** 3. **Ensure dependency makes logical sense** 4. **Warn if creating complex chains** ## Smart Features - Detect if dependency already exists - Suggest related dependencies - Show impact on task flow - Update task priorities if needed ## Post-Addition After adding dependency: 1. Show updated dependency graph 2. Identify any newly blocked tasks 3. Suggest task order changes 4. Update project timeline ## Example Flows \`\`\` /taskmaster:add-dependency 5 needs 3 → Task #5 now depends on Task #3 → Task #5 is now blocked until #3 completes → Suggested: Also consider if #5 needs #4 \`\`\``, 'solo' );
