claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix /tasks slash command — let users view the internal task checklist [2 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

Implementing a /tasks slash command to display the current task list with their status would provide users with the necessary transparency and control over Claude's progress.

Guidance

• Introduce a new /tasks command that queries Claude's internal task tracking system to retrieve the list of tasks with their respective statuses.
• Design the command's output to display tasks in a clear and concise format, such as the proposed example, to facilitate easy understanding of the progress.
• Consider adding filtering or sorting options to the /tasks command to allow users to customize the output based on their needs.
• Ensure the implementation of the /tasks command does not introduce any performance issues or overhead on Claude's internal task tracking system.

Example

> /tasks

  ✓ Create privacy policy page
  ✓ Create about page
  ● Update navbar with help popover    (in progress)
  ○ Add footer links
  ○ Push to deploy

This example illustrates a simple and effective way to display the task list with their statuses.

Notes

The implementation details of the /tasks command may vary depending on Claude's internal architecture and task tracking system. It is essential to ensure that the command's output is consistent with the actual task status and does not introduce any inconsistencies or inaccuracies.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement the /tasks command as proposed to provide users with the necessary transparency and control over Claude's progress. This solution directly addresses the user's need to inspect the tasks and their status, improving the overall user experience.
