.claude/commands/tm/remove-subtasks/remove-subtasks.md

remove-subtasks is a command for Claude Code from WYRE-AI/autotask-mcp. It costs 0 tokens per session (442 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of clear-subtasks, Apache-2.0.

A command for permanently deleting every subtask under a chosen task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review and clear a parent task’s subtasks, including completed or in-progress work, before confirming deletion.
Why use it?
It removes several subtasks at once when they are no longer needed, while showing what will be lost and which dependencies may change.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution.

This is WYRE-AI/autotask-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on autotask-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything autotask-mcp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

remove-subtasks scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to clear-subtasks — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Clear all subtasks from a specific task.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS (task ID)

Remove all subtasks from a parent task at once.

Clearing Subtasks

Bulk removal of all subtasks from a parent task.

Execution

task-master clear-subtasks --id=<task-id>

Pre-Clear Analysis

  1. Subtask Summary

    • Number of subtasks
    • Completion status of each
    • Work already done
    • Dependencies affected
  2. Impact Assessment

    • Data that will be lost
    • Dependencies to be removed
    • Effect on project timeline
    • Parent task implications

Confirmation Required

Clear Subtasks Confirmation
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Parent Task: #5 "Implement user authentication"
Subtasks to remove: 4
- #5.1 "Setup auth framework" (done)
- #5.2 "Create login form" (in-progress)
- #5.3 "Add validation" (pending)
- #5.4 "Write tests" (pending)

⚠️  This will permanently delete all subtask data
Continue? (y/n)

Smart Features

  • Option to convert to standalone tasks
  • Backup task data before clearing
  • Preserve completed work history
  • Update parent task appropriately

Process

  1. List all subtasks for confirmation
  2. Check for in-progress work
  3. Remove all subtasks
  4. Update parent task
  5. Clean up dependencies

Alternative Options

Suggest alternatives:

  • Convert important subtasks to tasks
  • Keep completed subtasks
  • Archive instead of delete
  • Export subtask data first

Post-Clear

  • Show updated parent task
  • Recalculate time estimates
  • Update task complexity
  • Suggest next steps

Example

/project:tm/clear-subtasks 5
→ Found 4 subtasks to remove
→ Warning: Subtask #5.2 is in-progress
→ Cleared all subtasks from task #5
→ Updated parent task estimates
→ Suggestion: Consider re-expanding with better breakdown

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
