# Fix Capture-Plan Hook to Commit Task Files Without CLAUDE.md Updates
6+
7+
## Problem
8+
The capture-plan hook creates task files on main branch AND updates CLAUDE.md on main, causing merge conflicts and violating branch protection principles.
9+
10+
## Corrected Root Cause Analysis
11+
1. **capture-plan hook runs on main branch** and creates `.claude/tasks/TASK_XXX.md` and `.claude/plans/XXX.md`
12+
2. **INCORRECTLY updates CLAUDE.md on main** to point to new task (should only happen on branch)
13+
3. **Files are left uncommitted** on main branch
14+
4. **Then branches are created** and CLAUDE.md gets updated again on the branch
15+
5. **When PR merges**, conflict occurs because CLAUDE.md was modified in both places
16+
17+
## Corrected Solution
18+
1. **Commit+push only the task files** to main (NOT CLAUDE.md)
19+
2. **Move CLAUDE.md update to happen AFTER branch creation** (on the feature branch)
20+
21+
## Implementation Plan
22+
23+
### 1. Add Commit+Push Function (Task Files Only)
24+
```typescript
25+
function commitTaskFilesToMain(
26+
taskId: string,
27+
projectRoot: string,
28+
deps: CapturePlanDependencies
29+
): void {
30+
const exec = deps.execSync || execSync;
31+
const logger = deps.logger || createLogger('capture_plan');
32+
33+
try {
34+
// Add ONLY the task files, NOT CLAUDE.md
35+
exec(`git add .claude/tasks/TASK_${taskId}.md .claude/plans/${taskId}.md`, { cwd: projectRoot });
36+
37+
// Commit with conventional format
38+
exec(`git commit -m "docs: create TASK_${taskId} files"`, { cwd: projectRoot });
39+
40+
// Push to main immediately
41+
exec('git push origin main', { cwd: projectRoot });
42+
43+
logger.info(`Committed and pushed task files for ${taskId} to main`);
44+
} catch (error) {
45+
logger.warn(`Failed to commit task files: ${error}`);
46+
}
47+
}
48+
```
49+
50+
### 2. Restructure Hook Flow
51+
**Current problematic flow:**
52+
1. Create task files on main
53+
2. Update CLAUDE.md on main ❌
54+
3. Create branch
55+
4. Switch to branch
56+
57+
**New correct flow:**
58+
1. Create task files on main
59+
2. Commit+push task files to main ✅
60+
3. Create branch and switch to it
61+
4. Update CLAUDE.md on branch (not main) ✅
62+
63+
### 3. Specific Code Changes
64+
1. **Remove** `updateClaudeMd()` call from main branch execution (line 609)
65+
2. **Add** `commitTaskFilesToMain()` call after task files are written
66+
3. **Move** `updateClaudeMd()` call to happen AFTER branching (on the feature branch)
67+
68+
### 4. Benefits
69+
- **Main branch stays minimal**: Only contains committed task files, not active task pointer
70+
- **CLAUDE.md only updated on branch**: Where the work actually happens
71+
- **No merge conflicts**: Main's CLAUDE.md never points to specific tasks
72+
- **Clean PR merges**: Task files already exist, CLAUDE.md changes are branch-specific
73+
74+
### 5. Result
75+
- **Main branch**: Contains all task files but CLAUDE.md always points to `no_active_task.md`
76+
- **Feature branches**: CLAUDE.md points to the specific task being worked on
77+
- **No conflicts**: Clean separation between task registry (main) and active work (branches)

# TASK_060: Fix Capture-Plan Hook to Commit Task Files Without CLAUDE.md Updates
2+
3+
## Purpose
4+
Fix the capture-plan hook to properly separate task file management (on main) from active task tracking (on branches) to eliminate merge conflicts and follow branch protection principles.
5+
6+
## Status
7+
**in_progress** - Started: 2025-09-15 18:01
8+
9+
## Requirements
10+
- [x] Remove CLAUDE.md update from main branch execution in capture-plan hook
11+
- [x] Add commitTaskFilesToMain() function to commit only task files (.claude/tasks/ and .claude/plans/)
12+
- [x] Implement automatic push of task files to main branch
13+
- [x] Move CLAUDE.md update to occur after branch creation (on feature branch)
14+
- [x] Ensure main branch CLAUDE.md always points to no_active_task.md
15+
- [x] Maintain conventional commit format for task file commits
16+
- [x] Add proper error handling for git operations
17+
- [ ] Verify no merge conflicts occur when PRs are merged
18+
19+
## Success Criteria
20+
- Main branch only receives committed task files, never CLAUDE.md updates
21+
- Feature branches properly update CLAUDE.md to point to their specific task
22+
- No merge conflicts when PRs containing CLAUDE.md changes are merged
23+
- Clean separation between task registry (main) and active work tracking (branches)
24+
- Hook continues to work for both task creation and branch workflows
25+
26+
## Technical Approach
27+
1. **Restructure hook execution flow:**
28+
- Current: Create files → Update CLAUDE.md → Create branch
29+
- New: Create files → Commit files to main → Create branch → Update CLAUDE.md on branch
30+
31+
2. **Implement selective git operations:**
32+
- Use `git add` with specific file paths to exclude CLAUDE.md from main commits
33+
- Push task files immediately after creation to keep main up-to-date
34+
35+
3. **Maintain branch-specific CLAUDE.md management:**
36+
- Only update CLAUDE.md after switching to feature branch
37+
- Preserve existing updateClaudeMd() functionality for branch context
38+
39+
## Current Focus
40+
41+
Task completed on 2025-09-15
42+
43+
## Recent Progress
44+
45+
Successfully implemented the capture-plan hook fix with the following changes:
46+
47+
1. **Added commitTaskFilesToMain() function** that commits only task files to main branch
48+
2. **Moved CLAUDE.md update** to occur after branch creation (on feature branch only)
49+
3. **Security hardening implemented:**
50+
- Added taskId validation to prevent command injection
51+
- Added branch verification to ensure we're on main/master
52+
- Improved error handling for "nothing to commit" scenarios
53+
4. **Code review completed** with all critical issues addressed
54+
55+
The implementation now ensures:
56+
- Task files are committed to remote main before any branch work begins
57+
- CLAUDE.md only gets updated on feature branches
58+
- No merge conflicts when PRs are merged
59+
- Secure handling of user inputs
60+
61+
## Next Steps
62+
1. Locate capture-plan hook source code
63+
2. Add commitTaskFilesToMain() function implementation
64+
3. Remove CLAUDE.md update from main branch execution path
65+
4. Move CLAUDE.md update to post-branching phase
66+
5. Test with sample task creation to verify no conflicts
67+
6. Update any related documentation or comments
