Available Operations

The TaskManager supports two main phases of operation:

Planning Phase

• Accepts a task list (array of strings) from the user
• Stores tasks internally as a queue
• Returns an execution plan (task overview, task ID, current queue status)

Execution Phase

• Returns the next task from the queue when requested
• Provides feedback mechanism for task completion
• Removes completed tasks from the queue
• Prepares the next task for execution

Parameters

• action: “plan” | “execute” | “complete”
• tasks: Array of task strings (required for “plan” action)
• taskId: Task identifier (required for “complete” action)
• getNext: Boolean flag to request next task (for “execute” action)

Example Usage

// Planning phase
{
  action: "plan",
  tasks: ["Task 1", "Task 2", "Task 3"]
}

// Execution phase
{
  action: "execute",
  getNext: true
}

// Complete task
{
  action: "complete",
  taskId: "task-123"
}
