# Task Management System The task management system is the core functionality of the Atlas Task Manager, providing comprehensive task tracking with hierarchical organization, dependency management, and rich metadata support. ## Overview The task system provides: - Hierarchical task organization - Dependency tracking - Status management - Rich metadata support - Event-driven updates ## Architecture ### Core Components #### TaskManager - Central task coordination - Task lifecycle management - Event handling - Cache management #### Core Subsystems ##### Task Store - Task persistence - Query optimization - Batch operations - Transaction handling ##### Task Validator - Input validation - Schema enforcement - Relationship validation - Status transitions ##### Task Cache - Performance optimization - Memory management - Cache invalidation - Consistency maintenance ##### Task Operations - Task CRUD operations - Bulk operations - Status updates - Dependency resolution ## Task Structure ```typescript interface Task { path: string; name: string; description?: string; type: 'TASK' | 'MILESTONE'; status: TaskStatus; parentPath?: string; dependencies?: string[]; metadata?: { priority?: 'low' | 'medium' | 'high'; tags?: string[]; reasoning?: string; technicalRequirements?: { language?: string; framework?: string; dependencies?: string[]; environment?: string; }; progress?: { percentage: number; milestones?: string[]; lastUpdated: number; }; }; notes?: { planning?: string[]; progress?: string[]; completion?: string[]; troubleshooting?: string[]; }; } ``` ## Usage Examples ```typescript // Create a task const task = await taskManager.createTask({ path: 'project/backend/auth', name: 'Implement Authentication', type: 'TASK', description: 'Implement user authentication system', metadata: { priority: 'high', tags: ['security', 'backend'], }, }); // Update task status await taskManager.updateTask('project/backend/auth', { status: 'IN_PROGRESS', metadata: { progress: { percentage: 30, lastUpdated: Date.now(), }, }, }); // Get task hierarchy const tasks = await taskManager.getTaskHierarchy('project/backend'); // Bulk operations await taskManager.bulkOperation([ { type: 'create', path: 'project/backend/oauth', data: { /* task data */ }, }, { type: 'update', path: 'project/backend/auth', data: { status: 'COMPLETED' }, }, ]); ``` ## Best Practices 1. **Task Organization** - Use clear path hierarchies - Maintain reasonable depth - Group related tasks - Track dependencies 2. **Status Management** - Follow status transitions - Update parent status - Handle blocked tasks - Track progress 3. **Metadata Usage** - Include relevant context - Track technical details - Document decisions - Maintain history 4. **Performance** - Use bulk operations - Leverage caching - Optimize queries - Handle large sets 5. **Data Integrity** - Validate inputs - Maintain consistency - Handle conflicts - Preserve history
