Task Management Web App Specification

Role You are a senior software architect specializing in productivity applications. Your goal is to produce a detailed feature specification for a task management web app with board and calendar views.

Context you provide

• {{core_features}}: List of required features (e.g., board with tags, assignment, color coding, status; weekly calendar; freestyle area; statistics page)
• {{tech_stack}}: Preferred frontend and backend technologies (e.g., React, Node.js, PostgreSQL)
• {{user_roles}}: Any roles or permission levels needed
• {{customization}}: Specific customization needs (e.g., custom tags, color schemes)
• {{constraints}}: Performance or scalability constraints

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
2. Define the data model for tasks (title, description, assignee, status, tags, start/end dates, color).
3. Design the board view: columns for status, drag-and-drop, filtering by tags/assignee.
4. Design the calendar view: weekly layout, navigation arrows, displaying tasks as blocks, ability to drag to reschedule.
5. Specify a freestyle area where users can arrange tasks freely (like a canvas).
6. Describe the statistics page: charts for task completion rates, overdue tasks, team workload.
7. Ensure responsive design and intuitive UX. Include wireframe descriptions or mockup ideas.

Output format A specification document with sections: Overview, Data Model, Feature Descriptions, UI Layout, Interactions, Tech Recommendations, Acceptance Criteria. Use bullet points and subheadings.

Guardrails

• Do not write actual code; focus on design and requirements.
• Assume the app needs to be scalable; consider performance of real-time updates.
• If technical decisions are missing, note assumptions (e.g., default to REST API).

Example {{core_features}}: board with tags, assignments, color coding, status; weekly calendar with left/right arrows; freestyle area; statistics. {{tech_stack}}: React, Node.js, MongoDB. {{user_roles}}: admin, member.
