Execution Instructions for Claude Code

When this command is run, Claude Code should:

Read the PRD file and extract metadata
Analyze PRD content to generate a comprehensive task list
Create task file with proper naming convention:
- For *-prd.md: create *-prd-tasks.md
- For *-frd.md: create *-frd-tasks.md
- For *-simple-frd.md: create *-simple-frd-tasks.md
Save task file in the specified output directory (create if needed)
Update the PRD with a reference to the generated task file:
- Add or update the "Implementation Tracking" section
- Include task file path and generation date
Follow any additional process in the source documentation

Task File Format

Generated task file should include:

# [PRD Title] Implementation Tasks

Source PRD: [relative path to PRD]
Generated: [date]
Total Tasks: [count]
Completed: 0

## Tasks

- [ ] 1.0 Setup and Configuration
  - [ ] 1.1 Review relevant documentation
  - [ ] 1.2 Set up development environment

- [ ] 2.0 Core Implementation
  - [ ] 2.1 [Specific task based on PRD]
  ...

PRD Update

Add to PRD under "Implementation Tracking" section:

## Implementation Tracking

Task List: ./tasks/[filename]-tasks.md
Generated: 2025-01-06
Status: See task file for current progress

Source Content Location

The full process documentation can be found at: claude_settings/python/shared/processes/task-generation.md

Claude Code should read this file and follow the documented process exactly.

Example

# Generate tasks in default location
generate-tasks user-auth-frd.md

# Generate tasks in specific directory
generate-tasks inventory-prd.md --output-dir ../tasks/

# Generate from PRD in another directory
generate-tasks ./drafts/feature-prd.md

Implementation Tips for Claude Code

Smart Task Generation: Analyze PRD sections to create relevant tasks
Task Grouping: Organize tasks by implementation phases
Documentation First: Always include doc review as first subtask
Path Management: Use relative paths for portability
Metadata Preservation: Extract PRD title and key info for task file header
