Reflects the v0.3 polish-pass changes:
- default 'ctask list' shows active tasks AND projects
- --task flag added; --task and --projects are exclusive
- output now includes a "type" column
- 'ctask last' explicitly notes it considers both types
Default behavior is now the broadest useful active view: 'ctask
list' shows all active workspaces, both tasks and projects.
Flag matrix:
ctask list active tasks + projects
ctask list --all all (incl. archived)
ctask list --task active tasks only
ctask list --task --all all tasks (incl. archived)
ctask list --projects active projects only
ctask list --projects --all all projects (incl. archived)
--task and --projects are mutually exclusive; passing both
returns a usage error rather than silently picking one.
Output gains a small "type" column so the mixed default view
is unambiguous: status, type, mode, category, date, slug.
Empty-result message is type-aware ("No tasks found." /
"No projects found." / "No workspaces found.").
Tests cover all six valid flag combinations, the conflict case,
and the three empty-result message variants.
Both commands now call workspace.MostRecentActive(root) directly
instead of inlining a ListWorkspaces scan + max-by-UpdatedAt loop.
The cross-type behavior is identical to before this commit (it
was already correct after the v0.3 union fix), but it is now
locked down by the focused unit tests added in the previous
commit and there is no duplicated selection logic.
The (nil, nil) "no active workspaces" return is mapped to:
- cmd/last: prints "No active workspaces found." and exits 1
- cmd/delete: silently skips the "most recent" note (the user
is deleting some specific workspace by name; the
note was always best-effort)
Extracts the cross-type "most recently updated active workspace"
selector that previously lived inline in cmd/last and cmd/delete.
The helper takes only a root path and returns (nil, nil) when
nothing matches, which keeps the call sites trivial.
Eight focused tests cover:
- tasks-only fixture
- projects-only fixture
- project most-recent vs older task
- task most-recent vs older project
- legacy v0.2 workspace (no Type field) winning, treated as task
- newest workspace archived, older active project wins
- empty root returns (nil, nil)
- all archived returns (nil, nil)
A new createTestWorkspaceFull helper takes an explicit UpdatedAt
timestamp so the "which is newest" assertions don't depend on
wall-clock ordering.
cmd/last and cmd/delete are migrated onto the helper in the next
commit.
ListOpts now exposes a Type string field (TypeAny / TypeTask /
TypeProject). TypeAny is the new way to express "both tasks and
projects" in a single ListWorkspaces call -- which the next two
commits will use to consolidate cmd/last and cmd/delete onto a
single helper, and to make 'ctask list' default to showing both
types.
Invalid Type values now return an explicit error from
ListWorkspaces (defensive against typos in callers).
cmd/list, cmd/last, and cmd/delete are migrated to the new field.
External behavior is unchanged in this commit; the cleanup of
ctask list semantics happens in a follow-up commit so the diff
stays reviewable.
Adds the v0.3 feature spec (source of truth for this release) and
the inline-execution implementation plan that was followed to land
the v0.3 work in the preceding commits.
Scope of v0.3:
- User seed directories (general + project)
- Improved built-in CLAUDE.md defaults (task + project)
- --project mode (type metadata, project root, git init)
- --projects filter for ctask list
- CTASK_TYPE env export
- Status-line and doctor updates
The 2026-04-06-install-workflow plan (also untracked) is left
alone -- it predates this session and is not part of v0.3.
Updates docs/commands.md to cover the v0.3 surface:
- ctask new --project flag, project mode, project root
semantics, seed order, git init behavior
- ctask list --projects flag and --all/--projects matrix
- Seed directory locations (general + project) and skip rules
- CTASK_TYPE child env var, CTASK_PROJECT_ROOT,
CTASK_SEED_DIR, CTASK_SEED_PROJECT_DIR config vars
- Doctor [INFO] seed directory reporting
No remote install or publish commands are added; the project
remains local-only.
Adds two [INFO] lines after the existing pass/fail checks
reporting whether the resolved general and project seed
directories exist. These are read-only and do not contribute to
the pass/fail counters, so users with no seed directories still
see "5 checks passed, 0 failed".
The task case is byte-for-byte identical to v0.2:
(ctask:slug|mode) /workspace/path
Project sessions append a single |project marker:
(ctask:slug|mode|project) /workspace/path
Both helpers (.sh and .ps1) are updated symmetrically. The empty
case (no CTASK_TASK) still outputs nothing.
Smoke verified:
- task default: (ctask:demo|local) /tmp/demo
- explicit CTASK_TYPE=task: (ctask:demo|local) /tmp/demo
- CTASK_TYPE=project: (ctask:demo|local|project) /tmp/demo
- no CTASK_TASK: (silent)
ctask list shows tasks by default and projects with --projects.
--all controls archived visibility (independent of --projects),
so the four combinations work as the spec defines:
- ctask list active tasks
- ctask list --all active + archived tasks
- ctask list --projects active projects
- ctask list --projects --all active + archived projects
Empty-result message reflects the active filter.
ListOpts gains a Projects bool that filters by EffectiveType.
Default behavior (Projects: false) now returns tasks only --
this is a deliberate semantic change that supports the new
'ctask list' (tasks) vs 'ctask list --projects' (projects)
spec.
The change silently regresses two cmd-level callers that scan
for "the most recently updated workspace": cmd/last.go (used by
'ctask last') and cmd/delete.go (used to print the "this was
your most recent workspace" note). Both are fixed by unioning a
tasks-scan with a projects-scan, so 'last' and 'delete' continue
to consider both types.
Test helper createTestWorkspaceTyped allows setting an explicit
type (or "" to simulate a v0.2 workspace with no type field).
After Create() returns, project mode now:
1. Runs git init (or prints "git not found; skipped..." if git
is unavailable)
2. Calls EnsureGitignore, which is a no-op when a seed already
supplied .gitignore (preserving the seed-wins rule end-to-end)
Both git unavailability and git init failure are non-fatal: ctask
warns and continues, so a missing/broken git toolchain never blocks
project creation.
EnsureGitignore writes a minimal .gitignore (.ctask/ +
logs/sessions.log) iff one does not already exist. This is the
file-system half of the v0.3 seed-wins rule for .gitignore: if
either the general or project seed copied a .gitignore into the
workspace, EnsureGitignore must be a no-op.
GitAvailable + RunGitInit wrap exec.LookPath("git") and `git init`
respectively, so the caller in cmd/new.go can decide whether to
print the informational note when git is missing.
Tests cover:
- missing -> created with the minimal body
- present -> preserved verbatim
- integration: general seed .gitignore preserved end-to-end
- integration: project seed .gitignore preserved end-to-end
- integration: no seed -> minimal body created
ctask new gains --project, which:
- records type=project on the workspace
- defaults the category to "projects"
- applies general + project seed overlays
- uses CTASK_PROJECT_ROOT when set, with no doubled "projects/"
path unless the user explicitly passes -c
- exports CTASK_TYPE=project into the child session
EnvVars now takes a taskType arg and exports CTASK_TYPE. Empty
type defaults to "task" for safety. resume/open also pass
EffectiveType so the env var is correct on resume of a v0.2
workspace.
Git init for project mode is wired in the next commit.
When SkipCategoryDir is true, Create places the workspace directly
under Root and does not append a Category subdirectory. This is the
mechanism that prevents doubled paths like
~/projects/projects/<slug> when the user sets CTASK_PROJECT_ROOT
without an explicit -c flag. The Category value is still recorded
on TaskMeta so list/info/filter still work.
CreateOpts gains IsProject, SeedDir, and ProjectSeedDir. The new
seeding flow is:
1. write built-in defaults (task or project CLAUDE.md + notes.md)
2. apply general seed if SeedDir != "" (overlay)
3. apply project seed if IsProject && ProjectSeedDir != "" (overlay)
4. write task.yaml (last, so seeds can never inject metadata)
The obsolete TestCreateDoesNotOverwriteSeedFiles test is removed:
its v0.2 invariant ("don't overwrite existing files") no longer
holds because v0.3 always lays defaults onto a fresh dir and seeds
are expected to overwrite.
TaskMeta now records type: task or type: project. EffectiveType
returns 'task' for missing/empty/unknown values and for nil meta,
so v0.2 workspaces continue to read as tasks without any
migration. The field is placed between Category and Mode in the
YAML output. Tests cover the round-trip and the legacy
no-type-field case.
CopySeedDir is the v0.3 user seed overlay primitive: recursive copy
from a seed directory to a workspace, overwriting destination
files. task.yaml and the .ctask metadata directory at the seed root
are intentionally skipped so a stale or hostile seed cannot
overwrite ctask-owned state. Missing src is a no-op (the seed
directory is optional).
ResolveSeedDir, ResolveProjectSeedDir, and ResolveProjectRoot read
the v0.3 environment variables (CTASK_SEED_DIR,
CTASK_SEED_PROJECT_DIR, CTASK_PROJECT_ROOT) and fall back to
platform defaults under %APPDATA%\ctask or ~/.config/ctask. The
expandPath helper handles tilde expansion + abs-path resolution
once for all resolvers.
ClaudeMDProject returns the project-oriented default used when
--project is passed (and no project seed overrides it). Adds tests
asserting required v0.3 spec sections and ASCII-only content.
Replaces the v0.2 task-scoped template with the v0.3 workspace
guidelines (file placement conventions + session handoff).
ClaudeMD signature is preserved for API compatibility; the
parameters are no longer interpolated.
When the status-line helper is found but Claude settings are misconfigured,
the fix suggestion now shows the real path (e.g. /c/Users/Warren/...) instead
of a <you> placeholder. Always suggests the .sh variant even if only .ps1
was found, since Claude Code runs statusLine through bash.

justfile with build/install/uninstall/test targets. CLAUDE.md updated with
new install path and commands. status-line-setup.md updated for
%LOCALAPPDATA%\ctask\bin location.

Adds the canonical install location as the primary search path on Windows,
before falling back to GOPATH/bin. Updates the Claude config guidance message
to reference the new path.

Removes only ctask-owned files from %LOCALAPPDATA%\ctask\bin. Removes PATH
entry only if .ctask-path-added marker exists (ownership tracking). Cleans
empty install directory. Never touches workspace data.

Builds from local repo, installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\ctask\bin, adds to user
PATH with ownership marker (.ctask-path-added) for safe uninstall. Finds Go
in standard install location if not on PowerShell PATH.

Add "Repository and Package Identity" rule to both the project-level CLAUDE.md
and the seeded CLAUDE.md template (internal/seed/templates.go). Every new ctask
workspace now inherits guidance against fabricating repo URLs, module paths,
GitHub identities, or remote install commands.
Also adds local-only build/install instructions and data safety invariant
documentation to the project-level CLAUDE.md.
