Pre-Clear Analysis

Subtask Summary

- Work already done
- Dependencies affected
Impact Assessment
- Data that will be lost
- Dependencies to be removed
- Effect on project timeline
- Parent task implications

Confirmation Required

Remove Subtasks Confirmation
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Parent Task: #5 "Implement user authentication"
Subtasks to remove: 4
- #5.1 "Setup auth framework" (done)

- #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

List all subtasks for confirmation
Check for in-progress work
Remove all subtasks
Update parent task
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

Suggest next steps

Example

/taskmaster:remove-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

Install remove-subtasks and it becomes one more candidate the router can pick - when it fits.

A listing is a routing target with a manifest: what it does, which domains it covers, what it costs and who publishes it. Once installed it sits beside your own models and tools, is scored like any other candidate for each request, and shows up in the trace when it wins. Ratings come from workspaces that installed it, one per account.
