Feature Plan: Task Automation from Chat

Goal

Strengthen chat-to-task conversion with due dates, assignees, and conversation links.

Why This Fits GIA

• Task extraction and command flows already exist and are active.

Scope

• Parse due date/owner hints from task-like messages.
• Persist task-to-message and task-to-session links explicitly.
• Improve task status announcements and query commands.

Implementation

1. Extend task parser with lightweight date/owner extraction rules.
2. Add fields (or payload keys) for due date and assignee identifier.
3. Add .task list, .task show #id, .task complete #id command aliases.
4. Add per-chat task digest message schedule option.
5. Add robust undo/audit entry for automated task creation.

Acceptance Criteria

• Task extraction preserves source message context.
• Due date extraction is deterministic and tested for common phrases.
• Command UX remains lenient and case-insensitive.

Out of Scope

• Full project management board UX.
