create_object
Create and organize tasks, projects, epics, or features within the Task Trellis system. Define hierarchies, set priorities, statuses, and prerequisites to manage work items effectively.
Instructions
Creates a new object in the task trellis system
Use this tool to create new objects such as tasks, projects, or other work items within the task management hierarchy. Objects can have parent-child relationships and dependencies through prerequisites.
Available object types and hierarchy requirements:
'project': Top-level containers, cannot have a parent
'epic': Can have no parent or a project as a parent
'feature': Can have no parent or an epic as a parent
'task': Can have no parent or a feature as a parent
Supported hierarchy structures:
Full hierarchy: project → epic → feature → task
Simplified: epic → feature → task
Simplified: feature → task
Standalone: epic
Standalone: task
Available status values:
'draft': Initial state for new objects
'open': Ready to begin work (default)
'open': Ready to begin work
'in-progress': Currently being worked on
'done': Completed successfully
'wont-do': Cancelled or decided against
Available priority values:
'high': Critical or urgent work
'medium': Standard priority (default)
'low': Nice-to-have or future work
Key aspects:
Objects support hierarchical organization via parent relationships
Prerequisites define execution order dependencies between objects
Parent-child relationships must follow the hierarchy rules above
The system validates parent types during creation
Best practices:
Use descriptive titles that clearly indicate the work to be done
Follow the hierarchy constraints for proper organization
Set appropriate status based on current work state
Define prerequisites to ensure proper task ordering
Include detailed descriptions to provide context for the work
