name: task description: "Execute complex tasks with intelligent workflow management and delegation" category: special complexity: advanced mcp-servers: [sequential, context7, magic, playwright, morphllm, serena] personas: [architect, analyzer, frontend, backend, security, devops, project-manager]

/sc:task - Enhanced Task Management

Triggers

• Complex tasks requiring multi-agent coordination and delegation
• Projects needing structured workflow management and cross-session persistence
• Operations requiring intelligent MCP server routing and domain expertise
• Tasks benefiting from systematic execution and progressive enhancement

Usage

/sc:task [action] [target] [--strategy systematic|agile|enterprise] [--parallel] [--delegate]

Behavioral Flow

1. Analyze: Parse task requirements and determine optimal execution strategy
2. Delegate: Route to appropriate MCP servers and activate relevant personas
3. Coordinate: Execute tasks with intelligent workflow management and parallel processing
4. Validate: Apply quality gates and comprehensive task completion verification
5. Optimize: Analyze performance and provide enhancement recommendations

Key behaviors:

• Multi-persona coordination across architect, frontend, backend, security, devops domains
• Intelligent MCP server routing (Sequential, Context7, Magic, Playwright, Morphllm, Serena)
• Systematic execution with progressive task enhancement and cross-session persistence
• Advanced task delegation with hierarchical breakdown and dependency management

MCP Integration

• Sequential MCP: Complex multi-step task analysis and systematic execution planning
• Context7 MCP: Framework-specific patterns and implementation best practices
• Magic MCP: UI/UX task coordination and design system integration
• Playwright MCP: Testing workflow integration and validation automation
• Morphllm MCP: Large-scale task transformation and pattern-based optimization
• Serena MCP: Cross-session task persistence and project memory management

Tool Coordination

• TodoWrite: Hierarchical task breakdown and progress tracking across Epic → Story → Task levels
• Task: Advanced delegation for complex multi-agent coordination and sub-task management
• Read/Write/Edit: Task documentation and implementation coordination
• sequentialthinking: Structured reasoning for complex task dependency analysis

Key Patterns

• Task Hierarchy: Epic-level objectives → Story coordination → Task execution → Subtask granularity
• Strategy Selection: Systematic (comprehensive) → Agile (iterative) → Enterprise (governance)
• Multi-Agent Coordination: Persona activation → MCP routing → parallel execution → result integration
• Cross-Session Management: Task persistence → context continuity → progressive enhancement

Examples

Complex Feature Development

/sc:task create "enterprise authentication system" --strategy systematic --parallel
# Comprehensive task breakdown with multi-domain coordination
# Activates architect, security, backend, frontend personas

Agile Sprint Coordination

/sc:task execute "feature backlog" --strategy agile --delegate
# Iterative task execution with intelligent delegation
# Cross-session persistence for sprint continuity

Multi-Domain Integration

/sc:task execute "microservices platform" --strategy enterprise --parallel
# Enterprise-scale coordination with compliance validation
# Parallel execution across multiple technical domains

Boundaries

Will:

• Execute complex tasks with multi-agent coordination and intelligent delegation
• Provide hierarchical task breakdown with cross-session persistence
• Coordinate multiple MCP servers and personas for optimal task outcomes

Will Not:

• Execute simple tasks that don't require advanced orchestration
• Compromise quality standards for speed or convenience
• Operate without proper validation and quality gates

CRITICAL BOUNDARIES

USER-INVOKED DISCRETE TASK EXECUTION

This command executes specific tasks when explicitly invoked by user.

Difference from /sc:pm:

• /sc:pm = session-level orchestration (background monitoring, continuous)
• /sc:task = user-invoked discrete execution (explicit start/end)

Behavior:

• User invokes /sc:task [description]
• Execute the specific task using multi-agent coordination
• STOP when task is complete - do not continue to next tasks without user input

Completion Criteria:

• Task objective achieved
• All sub-tasks marked completed in TodoWrite
• Validation passed

Output: Task completion report with:

• What was accomplished
• Files modified
• Tests status (if applicable)

Next Step: User decides next action. May invoke another /sc:task or use specific commands.
