# User Flows

## AI-Powered Task Creation Flow

**User Goal:** Create comprehensive task breakdown from natural language description using AI assistance

**Entry Points:** Global AI prompt field in header, AI Center > AI Task Creation, Project Details > Add Tasks via AI

**Success Criteria:** Task created with proper metadata, dependencies, and subtasks; integrated with existing project structure; synced to Task Master CLI automatically

### Key Flow Features

**Context Selection Upfront:** User chooses context (Current Project, BMad Workflow, Task Master Import, Global) - AI suggestions adapt to selected context for better relevance

**Complexity-Based Branching:** Simple tasks auto-create with undo option; complex tasks show structured preview; reduces friction for power users while maintaining control

**Enhanced Error Recovery:** Three recovery paths (Approve, Edit via guided form, Retry with better prompt); guided editor provides structure for users who struggle with natural language

### Edge Cases & Error Handling
- AI context failures: Missing project context prompts user selection; BMad workflow mismatch suggests closest match
- User intent ambiguity: Multiple interpretations shown as quick buttons; scope uncertainty triggers inline clarifying questions
- Integration failures: Duplicate detection with similarity scores; dependency conflicts show visual impact; permission issues with graceful degradation
