name: task-analyzer description: Analyzes task essence and selects appropriate skills. Returns scale estimates and metadata. Use when starting tasks or selecting skills.

Task Analyzer

Provides metacognitive task analysis and skill selection guidance.

Skills Index

See skills-index.yaml for available skills metadata.

Task Analysis Process

1. Understand Task Essence

Identify the fundamental purpose beyond surface-level work:

Key Questions:

• What problem are we really solving?
• What is the expected outcome?
• What could go wrong if we approach this superficially?

2. Estimate Task Scale

Scale affects skill priority:

• Larger scale → process/documentation skills more important
• Smaller scale → implementation skills more focused

3. Identify Task Type

4. Tag-Based Skill Matching

Extract relevant tags from task description and match against skills-index.yaml:

CopyTask: "Implement user authentication with tests"
Extracted tags: [implementation, testing, security]
Matched skills:
  - coding-standards (implementation, security)
  - typescript-testing (testing)
  - typescript-rules (implementation)

5. Implicit Relationships

Consider hidden dependencies:

Output Format

Return structured analysis with skill metadata from skills-index.yaml:

CopytaskAnalysis:
  essence: <string>  # Fundamental purpose identified
  type: <implementation|fix|refactoring|design|quality>
  scale: <small|medium|large>
  estimatedFiles: <number>
  tags: [<string>, ...]  # Extracted from task description

selectedSkills:
  - skill: <skill-name>  # From skills-index.yaml
    priority: <high|medium|low>
    reason: <string>  # Why this skill was selected
    # Pass through metadata from skills-index.yaml
    tags: [...]
    typical-use: <string>
    size: <small|medium|large>
    sections: [...]  # All sections from yaml, unfiltered

Note: Section selection (choosing which sections are relevant) is done separately after reading the actual SKILL.md files.

Skill Selection Priority

1. Essential - Directly related to task type
2. Quality - Testing and quality assurance
3. Process - Workflow and documentation
4. Supplementary - Reference and best practices

Metacognitive Question Design

Generate 3-5 questions according to task nature:
