Procedure

1. Determine the effective state set <states/>, i.e., the lifecycle states a task plan has to be in to be listed at all. For this, first determine the all states set <all-states/> and the finished states set <finished-states/> of the task lifecycle model <ase-project-task-lifecycle/> of the current project:

   • If <ase-project-task-lifecycle/> is solo (or absent): <all-states/> is OPEN, SHELVED, CLOSED, and CANCELLED, and <finished-states/> is CLOSED and CANCELLED.

   • If <ase-project-task-lifecycle/> is team: <all-states/> is PLANNING, SHELVED, IMPLEMENTING, STALLED, IMPLEMENTED, and CANCELLED, and <finished-states/> is IMPLEMENTED and CANCELLED.

   • If <ase-project-task-lifecycle/> is enterprise: <all-states/> is DRAFTED, SHELVED, PLANNING, PLANNED, STALLED, IMPLEMENTING, IMPLEMENTED, DECLINED, APPROVING, APPROVED, DEFERRED, INTEGRATING, INTEGRATED, and CANCELLED, and <finished-states/> is INTEGRATED and CANCELLED.

   Then parse <getopt-option-include/> and <getopt-option-exclude/> as comma-separated token lists, silently dropping the none sentinel and any empty token, and replacing the finished sentinel with <finished-states/>. If a token <token/> is not one of the Status: values in <all-states/>, only output the following <template/> and then STOP processing the entire current skill:

   <template> ⧉ **ASE**: ✪ skill: **ase-task-list**, ▶ ERROR: invalid state: **<token/>** </template>

   Otherwise set <states/> to <all-states/> if both lists are empty, to the include list if only it is non-empty, to <all-states/> minus the exclude list if only it is non-empty, and to the include list minus the exclude list if both are non-empty. If the resulting <states/> is empty, only output the following <template/> and then STOP processing the entire current skill:

   <template> ⧉ **ASE**: ✪ skill: **ase-task-list**, ▶ ERROR: options `--include` and `--exclude` cancel out to an empty state set </template>

   Directly after this error <template/>, and before stopping, give the corrective hint by expanding the following (which, depending on the configured <ase-guidance-level/>, may expand into nothing and hence emit no output at all):

   <ase-tpl-hint level="minimal"> The `--exclude` default `finished` (the finished states of the task lifecycle model) still applies -- add `--exclude none` to reach finished states via `--include`. </ase-tpl-hint>

2. Call the ase_task_list(verbose: <getopt-option-verbose/>) tool from the ase MCP server. The result is a structured object with a tasks array where each entry has an id and a status field, and -- if <getopt-option-verbose/> is true -- additionally an mtime field (formatted as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM). Drop from the tasks array every entry whose status is contained in <all-states/> but not in <states/>. Keep every entry whose status is not contained in <all-states/> at all, regardless of <states/>, and remember it as an unknown-status entry. Do not output anything.

3. For each unknown-status entry of step 2, output the following <template/>, where <id/> and <status/> correspond to the entry and <all-states/> is rendered as a comma-separated list:

   <template> ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<id/>**, ▶ WARNING: unknown status **<status/>** (expected one of: <all-states/>) </template>

   Then, if the tasks array is empty, output the following <template/>:

   <template> ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ tasks: *(none)* </template>

   Else, dispatch on <getopt-option-verbose/>:

   • If <getopt-option-verbose/> is true, output the list of tasks with the following <template/>, where each <id/>, <status/>, and <mtime/> correspond to an entry in the task list:

     <template> ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ tasks:

     Task Id	Status	Last Modified
     <id/>	<status/>	<mtime/>
     [...]	[...]	[...]

     </template>

   • If <getopt-option-verbose/> is false, output the list of tasks with the following <template/>, where each <id/> corresponds to an entry in the task list:

     <template> ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ tasks:

     Task Id
     <id/>
     [...]

     </template>

4. Finally, give the closing hints by expanding the following (which, depending on the configured <ase-guidance-level/>, may each expand into nothing and hence emit no output at all):

   <if condition="the `tasks` array is NOT empty"> <ase-tpl-hint level="normal"> Use `/ase-task-id <id>` to switch to one of the listed tasks and `/ase-task-view` to inspect its plan. </ase-tpl-hint> </if> <elseif condition="entries were dropped by the state filtering of step 2"> <ase-tpl-hint level="normal"> All task plans were filtered out by the effective state set -- use `/ase-task-list --exclude none` to list them regardless of their status. </ase-tpl-hint> </elseif> <else> <ase-tpl-hint level="normal"> No task plan exists yet -- use `/ase-task-edit` to create one through a conversational loop. </ase-tpl-hint> </else> <if condition="<getopt-option-verbose/> is not equal `true`"> <ase-tpl-hint level="verbose"> Use `/ase-task-list --verbose` to additionally show the status and the last-modified timestamp of each task plan. </ase-tpl-hint> </if> <ase-tpl-hint level="verbose"> Use `/ase-task-list --include`/`--exclude` to narrow the listing to certain lifecycle states, e.g. `--include IMPLEMENTING,STALLED`. </ase-tpl-hint>
