Arguments: {{arguments}} (task ID)

Delete a task and handle all its relationships properly.

Task Removal

Permanently removes a task while maintaining project integrity.

Argument Parsing

"remove task 5"
"delete 5"
"5" → remove task 5
Can include "-y" for auto-confirm

Execution

task-master remove-task --id=<id> [-y]

Pre-Removal Analysis

Task Details
- Current status
- Work completed
- Time invested
- Associated data
Relationship Check
- Tasks that depend on this
- Dependencies this task has
- Subtasks that will be removed
- Blocking implications

Impact Assessment

Task Removal Impact
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Task: #5 "Implement authentication" (in-progress)
Status: 60% complete (~8 hours work)

Will affect:
- 3 tasks depend on this (will be blocked)
- Has 4 subtasks (will be deleted)
- Part of critical path

⚠️  This action cannot be undone

Smart Warnings

Warn if task is in-progress
Show dependent tasks that will be blocked
Highlight if part of critical path
Note any completed work being lost

Removal Process

Show comprehensive impact
Require confirmation (unless -y)
Update dependent task references
Remove task and subtasks
Clean up orphaned dependencies
Log removal with timestamp

Alternative Actions

Suggest before deletion:

Mark as cancelled instead
Convert to documentation
Archive task data
Transfer work to another task

Post-Removal

List affected tasks
Show broken dependencies
Update project statistics
Suggest dependency fixes
Recalculate timeline

Example Flows

/taskmaster:remove-task 5
→ Task #5 is in-progress with 8 hours logged
→ 3 other tasks depend on this
→ Suggestion: Mark as cancelled instead?
Remove anyway? (y/n)

/taskmaster:remove-task 5 -y
→ Removed: Task #5 and 4 subtasks
→ Updated: 3 task dependencies
→ Warning: Tasks #7, #8, #9 now have missing dependency
→ Run /taskmaster:fix-dependencies to resolve

Safety Features

Confirmation required
Impact preview
Removal logging
Suggest alternatives
No cascade delete of dependents
