Fixes #5470

This PR implements automatic TODO list creation for complex tasks without requiring manual user intervention. The system now intelligently analyzes task descriptions and automatically generates contextual TODO lists when complexity thresholds are met.

Key Changes

  • Added TaskComplexityAnalyzer module for intelligent task analysis
  • Integrated automatic TODO creation into Task.startTask() method
  • Added comprehensive test coverage with 12 passing tests
  • Maintains backward compatibility with existing functionality

Features

  • Automatic detection of complex tasks using multiple heuristics
  • Contextual TODO generation based on task type and content
  • No manual user intervention required
  • Configurable complexity thresholds
  • Graceful error handling

All tests pass and the implementation follows existing codebase patterns.


Important

Introduces automatic TODO list creation for complex tasks using a new TaskComplexityAnalyzer module, integrated into Task.startTask() with comprehensive test coverage.

  • Behavior:
    • Automatic TODO list creation integrated into Task.startTask() in Task.ts.
    • Uses TaskComplexityAnalyzer to analyze task descriptions and generate TODOs if complexity threshold is met.
    • Handles errors gracefully without interrupting task execution.
  • Modules:
    • New TaskComplexityAnalyzer module in TaskComplexityAnalyzer.ts for analyzing task complexity and suggesting TODOs.
    • Configurable complexity thresholds and keyword-based analysis.
  • Tests:
    • Added Task-AutoTodo.test.ts for integration tests of automatic TODO creation.
    • Added TaskComplexityAnalyzer.test.ts for unit tests of complexity analysis logic.
    • Tests cover complex task detection, TODO generation, and error handling.

This description was created by Ellipsis for 37e0eac. You can customize this summary. It will automatically update as commits are pushed.

- Add TaskComplexityAnalyzer module to analyze task complexity using keyword analysis, pattern matching, and structural analysis
- Integrate automatic TODO creation into Task.startTask() method without manual user intervention
- Generate contextual TODO items based on task type (API development, UI components, bug fixes, etc.)
- Add comprehensive test coverage with 12 passing tests
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing TODO list functionality
- Follow existing codebase patterns and TypeScript best practices

Consider using the i18n translation function (e.g. t('autoTodoList.created')) for the user‐visible TODO notification rather than an inline hardcoded message. This ensures consistency with translation guidelines.

The helper 'containsAny' uses simple substring matching which can yield false positives. Consider using word-boundary checks if more precise keyword matching is needed.

Suggested change
return keywords.some((keyword) => text.includes(keyword))
return keywords.some((keyword) => new RegExp(`\\b${keyword}\\b`).test(text))

Typographical suggestion: The parameter name 'cline' in the function 'createAutomaticTodoList' may be a typo. Consider renaming it to a more descriptive name like 'task' for clarity.
