Claude Code decides on what tasks it creates and theres no way I know of to externalise them as external tasks that would each execute in a fresh execution per ralph-tui

@subsy I believe with the new task system it drops tasks into ~/.claude/tasks/<task_list_id> folders as JSON files. You can set an environment flag in Claude to tell it what to name the folder, and use this to resume a session with those tasks loaded.

A workflow I've started using is:

1. Start a claude session with a project name like CLAUDE_CODE_TASK_LIST_ID=my_workstream claude. Do my planning here and at the end have it write the plan to tasks as an epic with sub tasks and dependencies (which is supported in the task JSON structure)
2. Start a new session with the same project ID, and tell claude to start working through the tasks in subagents, respecting the task dependency structure.

It also works if your run it on the cli like CLAUDE_CODE_TASK_LIST_ID=my_workstream claude -p "Complete task #1 on your task list".

This seems like a workflow that is compatible with the ralph-tui isn't it?

@ghinch super interesting - will look into this
