Reason for Cancellation: Task breakdown needs to be done manually for better accuracy, and achieving the desired functionality proved difficult. Automated breakdown by AI took more time than expected.

Overview

Develop a command-line application that can break down rough ideas and concepts into specific, actionable tasks when using AI pair programming tools like Claude Code or CodeX.

Background and Motivation

To achieve more effective results when using AI tools for development, instructions need to be clear and detailed. This app aims to gradually concretize vague ideas and convert them into task lists in a format that AI tools can easily understand.

Key Features

1. Idea Input

  • Text-based idea input
  • Support for everything from rough concepts to detailed requirements

2. AI-Driven Task Breakdown

  • Using OpenAI API or Claude API
  • Analyze input ideas and break them down into actionable tasks
  • Generate hierarchical task structures

3. Interactive Visualization

  • Visual display of task hierarchies
  • Drag-and-drop task reorganization
  • Detailed task editing features

4. Export Functionality

  • Export in copy-and-paste ready formats for Claude Code or CodeX
  • Support for Markdown, JSON, and text formats

User Flow

  1. User inputs an idea
  2. AI analyzes the idea and breaks it into tasks
  3. Visualization of generated tasks
  4. Edit and reorganize tasks as needed
  5. Export the final task list

Expected Outcomes

  • Streamline planning in the early stages of development projects
  • Generate clearer instructions for AI tools
  • Support the process of idea concretization
