id: task-171 title: Implement drafts list functionality in CLI and web UI status: Done assignee: ['@claude'] created_date: '2025-07-12' updated_date: '2025-07-16' labels: [] dependencies: []

Description

Add draft list functionality and promote draft actions to CLI and web UI. Include /api/drafts endpoint to web server to properly display drafts from backlog/drafts/ folder and enable promoting drafts to tasks.

Acceptance Criteria

  • [x] CLI draft list command displays all drafts from backlog/drafts/ folder
  • [x] CLI draft promote command moves draft from drafts/ to tasks/ folder
  • [x] Web UI /api/drafts endpoint returns drafts from filesystem
  • [x] Web UI /api/drafts/:id/promote endpoint promotes draft to task
  • [x] Web UI drafts page shows actual draft files with proper navigation
  • [x] Web UI drafts page includes promote action button for each draft
  • [x] Drafts are read from folder location not filtered by status field
  • [x] Promoted drafts appear in tasks list and disappear from drafts list

Implementation Notes

Analysis

Found that most of the draft functionality was already implemented in the filesystem layer:

  • Draft operations: listDrafts, loadDraft, createDraft, promoteDraft, archiveDraft
  • CLI commands: create, archive, promote, view (but missing list)
  • DraftsList component existed but was filtering by status instead of reading from drafts folder

Implementation

  1. CLI draft list command - Added full list command with plain text and interactive UI support
  2. API Endpoints:
    • /api/drafts - Returns all drafts from the filesystem
    • /api/drafts/:id/promote - Promotes a draft to a task
  3. Web UI Updates:
    • Updated DraftsList to fetch from /api/drafts instead of filtering tasks by status
    • Added a "Promote to Task" button for each draft with proper event handling
    • Maintained existing UI patterns and dark mode support

Technical Details

  • Used existing filesystem methods for all operations
  • Followed existing patterns for CLI commands and API endpoints
  • Maintained consistency with existing UI components and styling
  • All acceptance criteria have been met and tested
