# T7-16: CLI Workflow MVP

## Priority
High

## Status
Completed

## Description
Enable the CLI to support structured task workflow using markdown descriptions and phase organization. This is the MVP to start using CLI instead of file-based task management.

## Objectives
- Add `phase` field to Task model for organizing tasks by project phase
- Create universal task template using markdown in description field
- Implement CLI commands for template-based task creation
- Add note/event logging to task descriptions
- Support phase-based filtering and views

## Acceptance Criteria
- [x] Backend: Add `phase` string field to Task model
- [x] Database migration created and tested
- [x] Template directory initialized at `~/.config/anyt/templates/`
- [x] Default template created with sections: Objectives, Acceptance Criteria, Technical Notes, Dependencies, Estimated Effort, Events
- [x] CLI command: `anyt template init` creates template directory
- [x] CLI command: `anyt template list` shows available templates
- [x] CLI command: `anyt template show <name>` displays template content
- [x] CLI command: `anyt task create <title>` opens editor with template
- [x] CLI command: `anyt task add <title> --phase <phase>` creates task with phase
- [x] CLI command: `anyt task note <identifier> <message>` appends note to description
- [x] CLI command: `anyt task done <identifier> --note <message>` marks done with note
- [x] CLI filtering: `anyt task list --phase <phase>` filters by phase
- [x] CLI board: `anyt board --phase <phase>` shows phase-filtered board
- [x] CLI summary: `anyt summary --phase <phase>` shows phase progress
- [x] Task display renders markdown description with formatting
- [ ] Documentation: Enhancement roadmap created in `docs/CLI_ENHANCEMENT_ROADMAP.md` (deferred)

## Dependencies
- T3-2: CLI Task Commands (completed)
- Working backend API
- Existing CLI foundation

## Estimated Effort
6-8 hours

## Technical Notes

### Backend Changes
```python
# src/backend/db_schema/models.py
class Task(Base):
    # ... existing fields ...
    phase: Mapped[str | None] = mapped_column(String(50), nullable=True)
```

### Universal Template Format (stored in description)
```markdown
## Objectives
- Objective 1
- Objective 2

## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Criterion 1
- [ ] Criterion 2

## Technical Notes
Implementation details...

## Dependencies
- Task IDs or references

## Estimated Effort
X hours

## Events
### YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM - Event title
- Event details
```

### CLI Implementation
- Template directory: `~/.config/anyt/templates/`
- Default template: `~/.config/anyt/templates/default.md`
- Template placeholders: `{{datetime}}` for current timestamp
- Editor integration: Respect `$EDITOR` environment variable
- Note appending: Add timestamped notes to description
- Markdown rendering: Use rich.Markdown for terminal display

### File Structure
```
src/cli/
├── commands/
│   ├── template.py (new - template management)
│   └── task.py (enhance - add create, note commands)
└── templates/
    └── default.md (embedded default template)
```

### Migration Path
1. Backend: Add phase field + migration
2. CLI: Implement template commands
3. CLI: Enhance task commands
4. Test with real workflow
5. Document in CLI_ENHANCEMENT_ROADMAP.md

### Testing
- Manual testing with local backend
- Create sample tasks using template
- Test note appending
- Test phase filtering
- Verify markdown rendering
