#!/bin/bash # next-task — print the ID of the next PENDING task to run, or nothing if none. # # Selection logic: # 1. Find the most recently updated COMPLETED or READY task. # 2. If COMPLETED, prefer its next PENDING sibling (same parent) to continue a series. # 3. If no sibling exists (series done, or READY state), fall back to the # highest-priority oldest PENDING task across the whole queue. # # Usage: next_id=$(scripts/next-task) # Example: scripts/start-next-task DB_PATH="/site/doot.terst.org/data/claudomator.db" # 1. Fetch the most recently updated COMPLETED or READY task target=$(sqlite3 "$DB_PATH" "SELECT id, state, parent_task_id FROM tasks WHERE state IN ('COMPLETED', 'READY') ORDER BY updated_at DESC LIMIT 1;") if [ -z "$target" ]; then exit 0 fi IFS='|' read -r id state parent_id <<< "$target" if [ "$state" == "COMPLETED" ]; then # 2. Find next sibling task that is currently PENDING next_task=$(sqlite3 "$DB_PATH" "SELECT id FROM tasks WHERE parent_task_id = '$parent_id' AND state = 'PENDING' LIMIT 1;") fi if [ -z "$next_task" ]; then # 3. No sibling found (or READY state): find next task by priority then oldest next_task=$(sqlite3 "$DB_PATH" "SELECT id FROM tasks WHERE state = 'PENDING' AND id != '$id' ORDER BY CASE priority WHEN 'critical' THEN 4 WHEN 'high' THEN 3 WHEN 'normal' THEN 2 WHEN 'low' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END DESC, created_at ASC LIMIT 1;") fi echo "$next_task"
