/newtask Command

/newtask is Bwat's intelligent context management command that functions like a seamless developer handoff. It expertly packages critical information - the overall strategy, completed work, relevant files, and next steps - into a fresh task with a clean context window. This preserves valuable insights while eliminating tool call logs, documentation searches, and implementation details that accumulate during development.

Using the /newtask Command

When your working context becomes cluttered but your project continues:

1. Type /newtask in the chat interface
2. Bwat analyzes your conversation and proposes a condensed version of essential context
3. Review and refine the proposed context through dialogue
4. Finalize with a single click to create a new task with your curated context

Practical Applications

I frequently use /newtask during complex multi-stage implementations. For example, when:

• Completing initial research phases before implementation
• Transitioning between major development stages
• Reaching natural stopping points in extended projects

The command acts like onboarding a new team member - providing them with crucial project knowledge, relevant file references, and clear next steps without overwhelming them with every intermediate step.

Common Use Cases

API Integration

After researching API documentation via Context7 MCP, use /newtask to begin implementation with just the essential endpoints and concepts.

Debugging Workflows

Once identifying a bug's root cause through multiple investigations, transition to fixing it with a clean context containing only the solution.

Client Project Pivots

When discussions explore multiple approaches before selecting one, use /newtask to focus exclusively on the chosen direction.

Long-Term Projects

At logical milestones in multi-day projects, maintain momentum by refreshing your context while preserving progress.

Key Benefits

• Context Preservation: Maintains critical project knowledge
• Noise Reduction: Filters out intermediate steps
• Workflow Continuity: Enables seamless project progression
• Cognitive Load Management: Keeps your workspace focused

This command exemplifies Bwat's ability to mirror human-like context management, ensuring you always work with the most relevant information in an optimized environment.
