NAME

App::karr::Cmd::Create - Create a new task

VERSION

version 0.500

SYNOPSIS

karr create "Fix login bug"
karr create --title "Write release notes" --priority high --status todo
karr create --title "Review API" --tags docs,review --body "Check CLI help"
karr create "Ship it" --depends-on 2,3

DESCRIPTION

Creates a new task in the ref-backed board. The new task inherits defaults from the materialized board config and can be seeded with metadata such as priority, class of service, due date, tags, and body text.

OPTIONS

  • --title

    Explicit task title. If omitted, the first positional argument is used.

  • --status, --priority, --class

    Override the configured default lifecycle values for the new task.

  • --assignee, --tags, --due, --estimate

    Populate optional frontmatter fields at creation time.

  • --depends-on

    Comma-separated ids of tasks this one depends on, same shape as --tags. Every id must name a task on this board; an unknown or non-numeric id rejects the create as a usage error before an id is allocated, so nothing is burned (ticket #54). Taking the new card up while a dependency is unfinished warns -- see App::karr::Cmd::Move.

  • --body

    Adds Markdown body text below the YAML frontmatter.
