# Task Decomposition Summary: Config Reset Feature

**Generated**: 2025-07-25  
**Specification**: specs/feat-config-reset.md  
**Task Management**: STM (Simple Task Master)

## Summary

Successfully decomposed the config reset feature into 7 actionable tasks across 4 implementation phases.

### Task Breakdown by Phase

| Phase | Count | Task IDs | Description |
|-------|-------|----------|-------------|
| Phase 1 | 1 | 13 | Foundation - Define configuration defaults |
| Phase 2 | 2 | 14, 15 | Core Implementation - Reset method & CLI |
| Phase 3 | 3 | 16, 17, 18 | Testing - Unit, Integration, E2E |
| Phase 4 | 1 | 19 | Documentation updates |

### Execution Strategy

```
1. Task 13 (Define defaults) - Start immediately
   ↓
2. Tasks 14 & 15 (Implementation) - Run in parallel
   ↓
3. Tasks 16, 17, 18 (Testing) - Run in parallel
   ↓
4. Task 19 (Documentation) - Final step
```

### Parallel Execution Opportunities

- **Phase 2**: Tasks 14 and 15 can run simultaneously after Task 13
- **Phase 3**: All three testing tasks (16, 17, 18) can run in parallel
- **Maximum parallelism**: 3 tasks at once during testing phase

### Dependencies

- Task 14 depends on Task 13
- Task 15 depends on Task 13
- Task 16 depends on Task 14
- Task 17 depends on Task 14
- Task 18 depends on Task 15
- Task 19 depends on Tasks 14 and 15

### Complexity Assessment

- **Overall**: Medium complexity feature
- **Most Complex**: Task 14 (ConfigManager reset method)
- **Simplest**: Task 13 (Define configuration defaults)
- **Risk Level**: Low - no breaking changes, atomic operations

### STM Commands for Progress Tracking

```bash
# View all config-reset tasks
stm list --tags config-reset --pretty

# View pending tasks only
stm list --tags config-reset --status pending

# Start work on a task
stm update <task-id> --status in-progress

# Complete a task
stm update <task-id> --status done

# View task details
stm show <task-id>
```

## Key Implementation Details Preserved

Each STM task includes:
- Complete technical requirements from the specification
- Implementation examples and code snippets
- Detailed acceptance criteria
- Testing requirements
- Dependencies clearly marked

The decomposition maintains all critical information from the original specification while organizing it into manageable, trackable work units.
