Features Implemented

Core Functionality ✅

• Query project timelines with task lists and statistics
• Check task dependencies and blocking relationships
• Calculate critical path using Critical Path Method (CPM) algorithm
• Get project status overviews with completion metrics
• Filter tasks by status, priority, assignee, due date
• PDA-friendly language - supportive, non-judgmental tone

API Integration ✅

Full support for Mosaic Stack API endpoints:

• GET /api/projects - List projects (paginated)
• GET /api/projects/:id - Get project with tasks
• GET /api/tasks - List tasks with filters
• GET /api/tasks/:id - Get task details

Authentication:

• X-Workspace-Id header (from MOSAIC_WORKSPACE_ID)
• Authorization: Bearer header (from MOSAIC_API_TOKEN)

TypeScript Client Features ✅

• Strict typing - No any types, comprehensive interfaces
• Type-safe responses - Full TypeScript definitions for all models
• Error handling - Proper error messages and validation
• Helper methods:
  • listProjects() - Paginated project listing
  • getProject(id) - Get project with tasks
  • getTasks(filters) - Query tasks
  • getProjectTimeline(id) - Timeline with statistics
  • getDependencyChain(taskId) - Resolve dependencies
  • calculateCriticalPath(projectId) - CPM analysis
  • getTasksApproachingDueDate() - Due date filtering

Bash Script Features ✅

Command-line interface via gantt-api.sh:

• projects - List all projects
• project <id> - Get project details
• tasks [project-id] - Get tasks (with optional filter)
• task <id> - Get task details
• dependencies <id> - Show dependency chain
• critical-path <id> - Calculate critical path

Critical Path Algorithm

Implements the Critical Path Method (CPM):

1. Forward Pass - Calculate earliest start times

   • Build dependency graph from task metadata
   • Calculate cumulative duration for each path

2. Backward Pass - Calculate latest start times

   • Work backwards from project completion
   • Find latest allowable start without delaying project

3. Slack Calculation - Identify critical vs non-critical tasks

   • Slack = Latest Start - Earliest Start
   • Critical tasks have zero slack

4. Path Identification - Order critical tasks chronologically

   • Build longest dependency chain
   • Identify bottlenecks and parallel work

Data Models

Project

{
  id: string;
  name: string;
  status: 'PLANNING' | 'ACTIVE' | 'ON_HOLD' | 'COMPLETED' | 'ARCHIVED';
  startDate?: Date;
  endDate?: Date;
  tasks?: Task[];
  _count: { tasks: number; events: number };
}

Task

{
  id: string;
  title: string;
  status: 'NOT_STARTED' | 'IN_PROGRESS' | 'PAUSED' | 'COMPLETED' | 'ARCHIVED';
  priority: 'LOW' | 'MEDIUM' | 'HIGH' | 'URGENT';
  dueDate?: Date;
  completedAt?: Date;
  metadata: {
    startDate?: Date;
    dependencies?: string[];  // Task IDs that block this task
  };
}

Usage Examples

Via Clawdbot (Natural Language)

User: "Show me the timeline for Q1 Release"
User: "What blocks the deployment task?"
User: "What's the critical path for our project?"
User: "Show all high-priority tasks due this week"
User: "Give me a status overview of Project Beta"

Via CLI (Bash Script)

# Set up environment
export MOSAIC_API_URL="http://localhost:3000/api"
export MOSAIC_WORKSPACE_ID="your-workspace-uuid"
export MOSAIC_API_TOKEN="your-api-token"

# List all projects
./gantt-api.sh projects

# Get project timeline
./gantt-api.sh project abc-123

# Get tasks for a project
./gantt-api.sh tasks abc-123

# Show dependency chain
./gantt-api.sh dependencies task-456

# Calculate critical path
./gantt-api.sh critical-path abc-123

Via TypeScript

import { createGanttClientFromEnv } from "@mosaic/skills/gantt";

const client = createGanttClientFromEnv();

// Get timeline with stats
const timeline = await client.getProjectTimeline("project-id");
console.log(`Completed: ${timeline.stats.completed}/${timeline.stats.total}`);

// Calculate critical path
const criticalPath = await client.calculateCriticalPath("project-id");
console.log(`Critical path: ${criticalPath.totalDuration} days`);

// Get dependency chain
const deps = await client.getDependencyChain("task-id");
console.log(`Blocked by: ${deps.blockedBy.length} tasks`);

PDA-Friendly Language

Uses supportive, non-judgmental language per requirements:

• ✅ "Target passed" instead of "OVERDUE" or "LATE"
• ✅ "Approaching target" instead of "DUE SOON"
• ✅ "Paused" instead of "BLOCKED" or "STUCK"
• ✅ Focus on accomplishments and next steps

Installation
