• src/index.ts:1182-1232 (handler)

  The main execution logic for the get_checklist_summary tool. Reads task data, builds a markdown summary of progress and checklist items (optionally including descriptions), and returns it as MCP content.

  private async getChecklistSummary(args: any): Promise<any> {
    try {
      const taskData = await this.readTaskData();
      
      // Generate the summary
      const includeDescriptions = args?.include_descriptions || false;
      
      let summary = `# Task: ${taskData.task_description}\n\n`;
      
      if (taskData.context_for_all_tasks) {
        summary += `## Context\n\n${taskData.context_for_all_tasks}\n\n`;
      }
      
      summary += `## Progress: ${taskData.metadata.progress.completed}/${taskData.metadata.progress.total} (${taskData.metadata.progress.percentage}%)\n\n`;
      
      summary += '## Checklist\n\n';
      
      taskData.checklist.forEach((item, index) => {
        const checkbox = item.done ? '[x]' : '[ ]';
        summary += `${index}. ${checkbox} ${item.task}\n`;
        
        if (includeDescriptions) {
          if (item.detailed_description) {
            summary += `   - Description: ${item.detailed_description.replace(/\n/g, '\n     ')}\n`;
          }
          
          // Context is intentionally excluded from summary to save context window space
        }
      });
      
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: 'text',
            text: summary,
          },
        ],
      };
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error getting checklist summary:', error);
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: 'text',
            text: `Error getting checklist summary: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`,
          },
        ],
        isError: true,
      };
    }
  }

• src/index.ts:397-406 (schema)

  Input schema definition for the get_checklist_summary tool, specifying an optional boolean parameter to include detailed descriptions.

  inputSchema: {
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
      include_descriptions: {
        type: 'boolean',
        description: 'Whether to include detailed descriptions in the summary',
        default: false
      }
    }
  }

• src/index.ts:394-407 (registration)

  {
    name: 'get_checklist_summary',

    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        include_descriptions: {
          type: 'boolean',
          description: 'Whether to include detailed descriptions in the summary',
