+## Prompt
+
+Create implementation plan for Recurring Tasks feature.
+
+## Context Files to Read
+1. Spec: specs/013-recurring-tasks/spec.md
+2. Constitution: .specify/memory/constitution.md
+3. PRD: specs/011-phase-v-features-planner/agent-2a-recurring-tasks-prd.md
+
+## Current Codebase Structure
+- Backend: packages/api/src/taskflow_api/
+  - models/task.py - Task SQLModel
+  - schemas/task.py - Pydantic schemas (TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskRead, TaskListItem)
+  - routers/tasks.py - Task API endpoints including update_status
+- Frontend: web-dashboard/src/
+  - types/index.ts - TypeScript types
+  - app/projects/[id]/tasks/new/page.tsx - Task creation form
+
+## Your Task
+Create a comprehensive implementation plan at specs/013-recurring-tasks/plan.md that includes:
+
+1. **Summary**: Primary requirement + technical approach
+
+2. **Technical Context**:
+   - Language: Python 3.13 (backend), TypeScript (frontend)
+   - Framework: FastAPI + SQLModel (backend), Next.js 16 (frontend)
+   - Database: PostgreSQL via Neon (production), SQLite (tests)
+   - Testing: pytest (backend)
+
+3. **Constitution Check**: Verify against 5 Non-Negotiable Principles:
+   - Audit: Every action auditable
+   - Agent Parity: Same API for humans/agents
+   - Recursive Tasks: N/A for this feature
+   - Spec-Driven: Spec exists before code
+   - Phase Continuity: Data model works through Phase V
+
+4. **Implementation Phases**:
+
+   **Phase 1: Backend Model + Migration** (Priority: Highest)
+   - Add 5 fields to Task model: is_recurring, recurrence_pattern, reminder_sent, max_occurrences, occurrences_created
+   - Create Alembic migration
+   - Test with pytest
+
+   **Phase 2: Schema Updates**
+   - Update TaskCreate with is_recurring, recurrence_pattern, max_occurrences
+   - Update TaskUpdate with same fields
+   - Update TaskRead, TaskListItem with is_recurring indicator
+   - Add validation (pattern required when recurring=true)
+
+   **Phase 3: Recurring Logic**
+   - Add calculate_next_due() function
+   - Add create_next_occurrence() async function
+   - Modify update_status endpoint to trigger on completion
+   - Create audit log entry for spawned tasks
+
+   **Phase 4: Frontend Updates**
+   - Update TypeScript types (TaskCreate, TaskRead, TaskListItem)
+   - Add RECURRENCE_PATTERNS constant
+   - Add recurring toggle + pattern selector to task create form
+   - Add recurring badge to task list
+   - Add recurring indicator to task detail view
+
+5. **File Changes Summary**:
+   List all files to be modified/created with specific changes
+
+6. **Test Strategy**:
+   - Unit tests for calculate_next_due()
+   - Integration test for complete recurring task flow
+   - Edge case tests (max_occurrences, no due_date, etc.)
+
+7. **Risk Assessment**:
+   - Database migration on production
+   - Backward compatibility with existing tasks
+
+Write the complete plan to: specs/013-recurring-tasks/plan.md
+
+## Response snapshot
+
+Created comprehensive implementation plan at `specs/013-recurring-tasks/plan.md` with the following structure:
+
+**Key Sections:**
+1. **Summary**: Auto-create next occurrence on task completion with time-based (1m-1h) and calendar-based (daily/weekly/monthly) patterns
+2. **Technical Context**: Python 3.13/FastAPI/SQLModel backend, TypeScript/Next.js 16 frontend, PostgreSQL database
+3. **Constitution Check**: ✅ All 5 principles verified (Audit, Agent Parity, Recursive N/A, Spec-Driven, Phase Continuity)
+4. **4 Implementation Phases** (45min total):
+   - Phase 1: Backend Model + Migration (15min) - Add 5 fields, generate/apply Alembic migration
+   - Phase 2: Schema Updates (10min) - Extend TaskCreate/Update/Read with validation
+   - Phase 3: Recurring Logic (15min) - Implement calculate_next_due(), create_next_occurrence(), integrate into update_status
+   - Phase 4: Frontend (15min) - Add recurring toggle, pattern selector, badges/indicators
+5. **File Changes**: 8 files, ~307 lines total
+6. **Test Strategy**: Unit tests (calculate_next_due), integration tests (completion flow, max_occurrences, audit), manual testing checklist
+7. **Risk Assessment**: 5 risks identified with mitigation (migration safety, backward compat, infinite loops, timezones, UI validation)
+
+**Technical Highlights:**
+- New Task fields: `is_recurring`, `recurrence_pattern`, `reminder_sent`, `max_occurrences`, `occurrences_created`
+- Recurrence patterns: 1m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, daily, weekly, monthly
+- Triggers only on `status=completed` (one-time event, no loops)
+- Inherits: title, description, assignee, priority, tags, project
+- Audit log links new task to source (`recurring_from` detail)
+- Backend validation: pattern required when recurring=true
+- Frontend: Checkbox + Select dropdown + optional max occurrences input
+
+**Constitution Compliance:**
+- ✅ Audit: log_action() for new task with recurring_from reference
+- ✅ Agent Parity: Same /api/tasks/{id}/status endpoint for humans/agents
+- ⚠️ Recursive: N/A (new tasks are siblings, not subtasks)
+- ✅ Spec-Driven: Follows specs/013-recurring-tasks/spec.md
+- ✅ Phase Continuity: Additive fields with defaults, backward compatible
+
+## Outcome
+
+- ✅ Impact: Created production-ready implementation plan with 13 sections covering all aspects (model, schemas, logic, frontend, tests, risks)
+- 🧪 Tests: Test strategy includes unit tests (9 pattern calculations), integration tests (4 scenarios: basic flow, max_occurrences, no due_date, audit), manual checklist
+- 📁 Files: Plan document (1 created), identifies 8 files to modify (4 backend, 4 frontend), ~307 total lines
+- 🔁 Next prompts: (1) Implement Phase 1 (backend model + migration), (2) Implement Phase 2 (schemas), (3) Implement Phase 3 (recurring logic), (4) Implement Phase 4 (frontend)
+- 🧠 Reflection: Plan follows constitution's 5 principles, provides clear phase breakdown with time estimates, includes rollback strategies for migration risk, documents edge cases (no due_date → use completion time, monthly = 30 days not calendar month)
+
+## Evaluation notes (flywheel)
+
+- Failure modes observed: None - plan creation successful on first attempt
+- Graders run and results (PASS/FAIL): N/A (planning phase, no code execution)
+- Prompt variant (if applicable): Base prompt with structured sections (Context + Task breakdown)
+- Next experiment (smallest change to try): Begin Phase 1 implementation (backend model changes)

+
+# Prompt
+
+Continue implementing the recurring tasks feature. During implementation, the original design was refined:
+
+1. **Bug discovered**: The `occurrences_created` counter on each task would reset to 0 when spawning new tasks, breaking the `max_occurrences` limit check.
+
+2. **User insight**: "If we implement Option 2 (recurring_root_id) then do we even need occurrences_created=0?" - Confirmed that with chain tracking, we can remove the counter entirely and use COUNT query.
+
+3. **Design refinement**:
+   - Removed: `occurrences_created` (counter), `reminder_sent` (not used yet)
+   - Added: `recurring_root_id` (FK to task.id for chain tracking)
+   - Spawn count derived via: `COUNT(*) WHERE recurring_root_id = root_id`
+
+4. **Additional features requested**:
+   - `clone_subtasks_on_recur`: When enabled, subtasks are recursively cloned to each new occurrence
+   - `recurrence_trigger`: "on_complete" | "on_due_date" | "both" (only on_complete implemented, others marked "Coming Soon")
+
+# Response
+
+## Implementation Summary
+
+### Field Design (Final)
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `is_recurring` | bool | Enables recurring behavior |
+| `recurrence_pattern` | str | Pattern: 1m-monthly |
+| `max_occurrences` | int | Spawn limit (NULL = unlimited) |
+| `recurring_root_id` | int | FK to root task (NULL = this IS the root) |
+| `recurrence_trigger` | str | "on_complete", "on_due_date", "both" |
+| `clone_subtasks_on_recur` | bool | Clone subtasks when spawning |
+
+### Key Functions
+
+1. `get_spawn_count(session, root_id)` - COUNT query for spawn limit check
+2. `clone_subtasks_recursive(session, source, new_parent, ...)` - Deep clone subtasks
+3. `create_next_occurrence(session, completed_task, ...)` - Spawn with chain tracking
+
+### SQLAlchemy Fix
+
+Added explicit `foreign_keys` to parent/subtasks relationships because Task now has TWO self-referential FKs:
+```python
+parent: "Task" = Relationship(
+    back_populates="subtasks",
+    sa_relationship_kwargs={
+        "remote_side": "Task.id",
+        "foreign_keys": "[Task.parent_task_id]",
+    },
+)
+```
+
+### Frontend Updates
+
+- Task creation form: Clone subtasks checkbox, recurrence trigger dropdown with "Coming Soon" badges
+- Task detail: Shows clone_subtasks_on_recur and recurrence_trigger values
+
+### Test Results
+
+- Backend: 74 passed, 3 skipped
+- Frontend: Build successful
+
+# Outcome
+
+Feature complete with improved design. Chain tracking via `recurring_root_id` is cleaner and more reliable than counter-based tracking. Subtask cloning enables complex recurring workflows (e.g., weekly sprint with standard checklist).

+## Prompt
+
+/sp.specify recurring-tasks
+
+Implement Recurring Tasks - tasks that auto-create their next occurrence when completed. Support minute-level recurrence (1m, 5m, etc.), daily, weekly, monthly patterns. Include max occurrences limit.
+
+Context from PRD (specs/011-phase-v-features-planner/agent-2a-recurring-tasks-prd.md):
+- Add 3 fields to Task model (is_recurring, recurrence_pattern, reminder_sent)
+- Modify update_status to create next occurrence when completing recurring task
+- Add recurring toggle to task forms in frontend
+
+User additions:
+- Support 1-minute recurrence intervals
+- Add duration/max occurrences feature
+
+## Response snapshot
+
+Created comprehensive specification at `specs/013-recurring-tasks/spec.md` covering:
+
+1. **5 User Stories** (prioritized P1-P3):
+   - P1: Complete recurring task creates next occurrence
+   - P1: Create recurring task via form
+   - P2: View recurring task indicator
+   - P2: Edit task recurrence settings
+   - P3: Max occurrences limit
+
+2. **13 Functional Requirements** (FR-001 through FR-013):
+   - Model fields: is_recurring, recurrence_pattern, reminder_sent, max_occurrences, occurrences_created
+   - Supported patterns: 1m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, daily, weekly, monthly
+   - Auto-creation logic on completion
+   - Audit log integration
+   - Frontend UI requirements
+
+3. **6 Success Criteria** with measurable outcomes:
+   - SC-001: Next occurrence appears within 2 seconds
+   - SC-002: Exactly one occurrence per completion (no duplicates)
+   - SC-006: Max occurrences 100% accuracy
+
+4. **Spec-architect validation**: 9.5/10 score, READY FOR PLANNING
+
+## Outcome
+
+- Impact: Comprehensive specification created for recurring tasks feature
+- Tests: N/A (specification phase - no code yet)
+- Files: 2 files created (spec.md, requirements.md checklist)
+- Next prompts: /sp.plan recurring-tasks
+- Reflection: Extended PRD with max_occurrences feature per user request. Spec-architect validated with formal verification (invariants, small scope testing).
+
+## Evaluation notes (flywheel)
+
+- Failure modes observed: None - spec passed all validation checks
+- Graders run and results (PASS/FAIL): spec-architect validation PASS (9.5/10)
+- Prompt variant (if applicable): Standard /sp.specify flow
+- Next experiment (smallest change to try): Could add p95 latency percentile to SC-001

+- Monthly = 30 days (simplified, not calendar month)
+- Fallback to daily for unknown patterns
+- Transaction pattern: caller owns commit (follows constitution)
+
+**Constitution Compliance**: All 5 principles verified
+- Audit: log_action with recurring_from reference
+- Agent Parity: Same endpoint for humans/agents
+- Spec-Driven: Following spec.md
+- Phase Continuity: Additive fields, backward compatible

+## Recurring Tasks
+When creating a recurring task, you can specify:
+- **is_recurring**: Set to true to enable recurrence
+- **recurrence_pattern**: "1m", "5m", "10m", "15m", "30m", "1h", "daily", "weekly", "monthly"
+- **max_occurrences**: Optional limit on how many times the task repeats (null = unlimited)

+Example: "Create a recurring daily standup task" →
+Use add_task with is_recurring=true, recurrence_pattern="daily"
+
+When a recurring task is completed, the system automatically creates the next occurrence
+with the due date calculated based on the pattern. The task chain continues until
+max_occurrences is reached (if set).

+# Requirements Quality Checklist
+
+**Feature**: Recurring Tasks
+**Spec File**: specs/013-recurring-tasks/spec.md
+**Generated**: 2025-12-10
+**Agent**: spec-architect v3.0
+
+---
+
+## Content Quality
+
+- [x] No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
+- [x] Focused on user value and business needs
+- [x] Written for non-technical stakeholders
+- [x] All mandatory sections completed
+
+**Notes**: Spec appropriately focuses on behavior (what happens when task completes) rather than implementation (Python classes, database migrations). User scenarios clearly articulate value.
+
+---
+
+## Requirement Completeness
+
+- [x] No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
+- [x] Requirements are testable and unambiguous
+- [x] Success criteria are measurable
+- [x] Success criteria are technology-agnostic
+- [x] All acceptance scenarios are defined
+- [x] Edge cases are identified
+- [x] Scope is clearly bounded (constraints + non-goals)
+- [x] Dependencies and assumptions identified
+
+**Notes**:
+- All 6 edge cases explicitly documented (no due date, deletion, approval workflow, reopening, max=0, race condition)
+- Constraints section defines backward compatibility and existing workflow integration
+- Non-goals section clearly excludes Phase 2B features (notifications), custom patterns, advanced UX features
+
+---
+
+## Feature Readiness
+
+- [x] All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
+- [x] User scenarios cover primary flows
+- [x] Evals-first pattern followed (success criteria defined)
+
+**Notes**: Success criteria section includes 6 measurable outcomes (SC-001 through SC-006) with specific timing (2 seconds), accuracy (100%), and behavioral expectations.
+
+---
+
+## Formal Verification
+
+- [x] Invariants identified and documented
+- [x] Small scope test passed (3-5 instances)
+- [x] No counterexamples found
+- [x] Relational constraints verified (cycles, coverage, uniqueness)
+
+**Complexity Assessment**: MEDIUM
+- 5+ interacting entities: Task, RecurrencePattern, AuditLog, max_occurrences counter, occurrences_created counter
+- 3+ constraint types: Pattern validation, max occurrence limits, date calculation rules
+
+**Formal Verification Applied**: YES
+
+### Invariants Checked
+
+| Invariant | Expression | Result |
+|-----------|------------|--------|
+| **Pattern Required** | `∀ task: Task \| task.is_recurring = true → some task.recurrence_pattern` | ✅ HOLDS (FR-003) |
+| **Counter Bounds** | `∀ task: Task \| task.occurrences_created ≤ task.max_occurrences` | ✅ HOLDS (FR-009) |
+| **Unique New Task** | `∀ completion: Completion \| count(spawned_tasks) ≤ 1` | ✅ HOLDS (SC-002) |
+| **Audit Lineage** | `∀ spawned: Task \| some spawned.audit_entry referencing source_task` | ✅ HOLDS (FR-008) |
+
+### Small Scope Test (3 instances)
+
+**Scenario**: 3 tasks with max_occurrences=2 completed sequentially
+
+| Instance | Configuration | Completion 1 | Completion 2 | Completion 3 |
+|----------|---------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|
+| Task A | daily, max=2, count=0 | ✅ Spawns (count→1) | ✅ Spawns (count→2) | ❌ Blocked (limit reached) |
+| Task B | weekly, max=null | ✅ Spawns (count→1) | ✅ Spawns (count→2) | ✅ Spawns (count→3) |
+| Task C | 5m, max=0 | ❌ Blocked (limit=0) | N/A | N/A |
+
+**Result**: All instances behave as specified. No violations.
+
+### Relational Constraints Verified
+
+- [x] **No cycles**: Each completion spawns independent task (no parent_id linkage)
+- [x] **Complete coverage**: All 9 patterns defined and validated (FR-002)
+- [x] **Unique mappings**: One completion → one new task (SC-002, edge case handles race condition)
+- [x] **Audit reachability**: All task creations traceable via audit log (FR-008)
+
+---
+
+## Overall Assessment
+
+**Status**: ✅ READY FOR PLANNING
+
+**Readiness Score**: 9.5/10
+
+**Strengths**:
+1. Exhaustive edge case enumeration (6 scenarios covered)
+2. Measurable success criteria with specific timing/accuracy targets
+3. Clear scope boundaries (constraints + non-goals prevent feature creep)
+4. Constitutional alignment: FR-008 ensures audit entries created
+5. Technology-agnostic requirements (no hardcoded database schemas or frameworks)
+
+**Minor Improvements** (non-blocking):
+1. Consider adding acceptance scenario for pattern validation error message UX
+2. Demo flow could include showing max_occurrences limit behavior
+3. Could clarify whether `reminder_sent` field needs database migration or is pre-existing
+
+**Next Steps**:
+- Proceed to `/sp.plan` for implementation planning
+- Planning should reference FR-008 audit requirement (Constitution Principle 1)
+- Consider whether this feature triggers ADR for recurrence pattern extensibility

+# Implementation Plan: Recurring Tasks
+
+**Feature**: Recurring Tasks (Auto-create next occurrence on completion)
+**Branch**: `013-recurring-tasks`
+**Estimated Time**: 45 minutes
+**Created**: 2025-12-10
+**Status**: Ready for Implementation
+
+---
+
+## 1. Summary
+
+### Primary Requirement
+Enable tasks to automatically create their next occurrence when completed, supporting both time-based (5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h) and calendar-based (daily, weekly, monthly) recurrence patterns. Users can mark tasks as recurring during creation/editing, and optionally limit total occurrences.
+
+### Technical Approach
+1. **Backend Model Extension**: Add 5 fields to Task model (`is_recurring`, `recurrence_pattern`, `reminder_sent`, `max_occurrences`, `occurrences_created`)
+2. **Database Migration**: Create Alembic migration for new fields
+3. **Schema Updates**: Extend TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskRead, TaskListItem with recurring fields and validation
+4. **Recurring Logic**: Implement `calculate_next_due()` and `create_next_occurrence()` functions, integrate into `update_status` endpoint
+5. **Frontend Integration**: Add recurring toggle/pattern selector to task forms, display recurring indicator in lists/detail views
+
+---
+
+## 2. Technical Context
+
+### Languages & Frameworks
+- **Backend**: Python 3.13, FastAPI 0.115+, SQLModel 0.0.22+
+- **Frontend**: TypeScript 5.x, Next.js 16 (App Router), React 19
+- **Database**: PostgreSQL (Neon production), SQLite (tests)
+- **Testing**: pytest (backend), vitest (frontend)
+
+### Key Dependencies
+- `sqlmodel` - ORM with Pydantic integration
+- `alembic` - Database migrations
+- `asyncpg` - Async PostgreSQL driver
+- `pydantic` - Schema validation with `model_validator`
+- `shadcn/ui` - UI components (Checkbox, Select)
+
+### Existing Architecture
+- **Task Model**: `packages/api/src/taskflow_api/models/task.py` - SQLModel with `due_date`, `status`, `progress_percent`, recursive subtasks
+- **Task Router**: `packages/api/src/taskflow_api/routers/tasks.py` - RESTful endpoints with `update_status` handling status transitions
+- **Audit System**: `services.audit.log_action()` - Records all state changes
+- **Transaction Pattern**: Single commit at endpoint level, `flush()` for intermediate IDs
+
+---
+
+## 3. Constitution Check
+
+### Principle 1: Every Action MUST Be Auditable ✅
+- **Compliance**: New task creation from recurrence will call `log_action()` with `action="created"` and `details={"recurring_from": task_id, "recurrence_pattern": pattern}`
+- **Actor Recording**: Uses existing `actor_id` and `actor_type` from completion context
+- **Audit Entry**: `AuditLog(entity_type="task", entity_id=new_task.id, action="created", details={...})`
+
+### Principle 2: Agents Are First-Class Citizens ✅
+- **Compliance**: No distinction between humans and agents in recurring logic - both trigger same recurrence flow
+- **API Parity**: Existing `/api/tasks/{id}/status` endpoint used by both humans (web) and agents (MCP)
+- **UI Neutrality**: Recurring toggle available in human UI; agents set fields via standard TaskCreate/TaskUpdate schemas
+
+### Principle 3: Recursive Task Decomposition ⚠️ N/A
+- **Not Applicable**: Recurring tasks are independent siblings (not subtasks of each other)
+- **Note**: New occurrences inherit `parent_task_id` from original, preserving hierarchy if original was a subtask
+
+### Principle 4: Spec-Driven Development ✅
+- **Compliance**: Implementation follows `specs/013-recurring-tasks/spec.md` (created 2025-12-10)
+- **PRD Reference**: `specs/011-phase-v-features-planner/agent-2a-recurring-tasks-prd.md`
+- **Validation**: All acceptance scenarios from spec will be tested
+
+### Principle 5: Phase Continuity ✅
+- **Data Model Persistence**: Fields added to existing Task model (additive, backward compatible)
+- **Migration Strategy**: Alembic migration with default values (`is_recurring=False`, `reminder_sent=False`, `occurrences_created=0`)
+- **Future-Proof**: `reminder_sent` field reserved for Phase 2B notification system integration
+- **API Stability**: New fields optional in TaskCreate (default `is_recurring=False`), non-breaking change
+
+---
+
+## 4. Implementation Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Backend Model + Migration (Priority: Highest, Est: 15 min)
+
+**Goal**: Extend Task model and apply database migration
+
+#### 1.1 Add Fields to Task Model
+**File**: `packages/api/src/taskflow_api/models/task.py`
+
+**Changes**:
+```python
+# Add after line 61 (due_date field):
+
+# Recurring task fields
+is_recurring: bool = Field(
+    default=False,
+    description="Whether this task repeats when completed",
+)
+recurrence_pattern: str | None = Field(
+    default=None,
+    description="Interval pattern: '1m', '5m', '10m', '15m', '30m', '1h', 'daily', 'weekly', 'monthly'",
+)
+reminder_sent: bool = Field(
+    default=False,
+    description="Whether reminder notification was sent (used by Phase 2B notification system)",
+)
+max_occurrences: int | None = Field(
+    default=None,
+    description="Maximum number of times to recur (null = unlimited)",
+)
+occurrences_created: int = Field(
+    default=0,
+    description="Counter tracking spawned occurrences from this task",
+)
+```
+
+**Rationale**:
+- `is_recurring` boolean flag for quick filtering
+- `recurrence_pattern` string (not enum) for flexibility in future patterns
+- `reminder_sent` included now for Phase 2B (no code in this phase uses it)
+- `max_occurrences` nullable for unlimited recurrence (majority use case)
+- `occurrences_created` counter prevents exceeding max_occurrences
+
+#### 1.2 Create Alembic Migration
+**Command**:
+```bash
+cd packages/api
+uv run alembic revision --autogenerate -m "Add recurring task fields"
+```
+
+**Expected Migration File**: `packages/api/alembic/versions/{timestamp}_add_recurring_task_fields.py`
+
+**Manual Review**: Verify migration includes:
+- `is_recurring` BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE NOT NULL
+- `recurrence_pattern` VARCHAR NULL
+- `reminder_sent` BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE NOT NULL
+- `max_occurrences` INTEGER NULL
+- `occurrences_created` INTEGER DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL
+
+#### 1.3 Apply Migration
+**Commands**:
+```bash
+# Development database
+uv run alembic upgrade head
+
+# Test database (if separate)
+TESTING=1 uv run alembic upgrade head
+```
+
+**Validation**:
+```sql
+-- Verify fields exist
+SELECT column_name, data_type, is_nullable, column_default
+FROM information_schema.columns
+WHERE table_name = 'task'
+AND column_name IN ('is_recurring', 'recurrence_pattern', 'reminder_sent', 'max_occurrences', 'occurrences_created');
+```
+
+#### 1.4 Test Migration Rollback
+**Command**:
+```bash
+uv run alembic downgrade -1
+uv run alembic upgrade head
+```
+
+**Acceptance Criteria**:
+- [ ] Migration generates without errors
+- [ ] Fields added to task table with correct types and defaults
+- [ ] Existing tasks have `is_recurring=False`, `occurrences_created=0`
+- [ ] Migration rollback works (down/up cycle successful)
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: Schema Updates (Priority: High, Est: 10 min)
+
+**Goal**: Extend API schemas with recurring fields and validation
+
+#### 2.1 Update TaskCreate Schema
+**File**: `packages/api/src/taskflow_api/schemas/task.py`
+
+**Changes**:
+```python
+# Add after line 39 (after due_date field):
+
+# Recurring task fields
+is_recurring: bool = False
+recurrence_pattern: Literal["1m", "5m", "10m", "15m", "30m", "1h", "daily", "weekly", "monthly"] | None = None
+max_occurrences: int | None = Field(default=None, gt=0, description="Maximum recurrences (null = unlimited)")
+
+# Add after normalize_due_date validator:
+
+@model_validator(mode="after")
+def validate_recurring(self) -> "TaskCreate":
+    """Validate recurring task constraints."""
+    # If recurring is enabled, pattern is required
+    if self.is_recurring and not self.recurrence_pattern:
+        raise ValueError("recurrence_pattern required when is_recurring is True")
+
+    # Auto-enable recurring if pattern is provided
+    if not self.is_recurring and self.recurrence_pattern:
+        self.is_recurring = True
+
+    return self
+```
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Literal type enforces valid patterns at schema level
+- `model_validator` provides cross-field validation (pattern required when recurring)
+- Auto-enabling recurring when pattern provided improves UX (user sets pattern, forgets toggle)
+- `max_occurrences` validated as positive integer
+
+#### 2.2 Update TaskUpdate Schema
+**File**: `packages/api/src/taskflow_api/schemas/task.py`
+
+**Changes**:
+```python
+# Add after line 63 (after due_date field):
+
+# Recurring task fields
+is_recurring: bool | None = None
+recurrence_pattern: Literal["1m", "5m", "10m", "15m", "30m", "1h", "daily", "weekly", "monthly"] | None = None
+max_occurrences: int | None = Field(default=None, gt=0)
+
+# Add validator (same as TaskCreate):
+
+@model_validator(mode="after")
+def validate_recurring(self) -> "TaskUpdate":
+    """Validate recurring task constraints."""
+    if self.is_recurring is True and self.recurrence_pattern is None:
+        # When updating, pattern can be left unchanged (None means no update)
+        # Only validate if explicitly disabling (is_recurring set but pattern cleared)
+        pass
+    return self
+```
+
+**Note**: Update validation is more lenient - allows partial updates
+
+#### 2.3 Update TaskRead Schema
+**File**: `packages/api/src/taskflow_api/schemas/task.py`
+
+**Changes**:
+```python
+# Add after line 107 (after due_date field):
+
+# Recurring task fields
+is_recurring: bool
+recurrence_pattern: str | None
+max_occurrences: int | None
+occurrences_created: int
+```
+
+**Rationale**: Expose all recurring fields for detail view (including counter)
+
+#### 2.4 Update TaskListItem Schema
+**File**: `packages/api/src/taskflow_api/schemas/task.py`
+
+**Changes**:
+```python
+# Add after line 133 (after due_date field):
+
+# Recurring indicator only (minimal data for list view)
+is_recurring: bool
+```
+
+**Rationale**: List view only needs boolean flag for badge display (not full details)
+
+#### 2.5 Update task_to_read Helper
+**File**: `packages/api/src/taskflow_api/routers/tasks.py`
+
+**Changes**:
+```python
+# In task_to_read function (around line 100-120), add to returned TaskRead:
+
+is_recurring=task.is_recurring,
+recurrence_pattern=task.recurrence_pattern,
+max_occurrences=task.max_occurrences,
+occurrences_created=task.occurrences_created,
+```
+
+#### 2.6 Update List Endpoint Response Mapping
+**File**: `packages/api/src/taskflow_api/routers/tasks.py`
+
+**Changes**:
+```python
+# In list_tasks endpoint (around line 284-297), add to TaskListItem:
+
+is_recurring=task.is_recurring,
+```
+
+**Acceptance Criteria**:
+- [ ] TaskCreate rejects `is_recurring=True` without pattern (400 error)
+- [ ] TaskCreate auto-enables recurring when pattern provided
+- [ ] TaskUpdate allows partial updates
+- [ ] TaskRead includes all 4 recurring fields
+- [ ] TaskListItem includes `is_recurring` boolean
+- [ ] Swagger UI shows recurring fields in schemas
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3: Recurring Logic (Priority: Highest, Est: 15 min)
+
+**Goal**: Implement automatic task creation on completion
+
+#### 3.1 Add calculate_next_due Function
+**File**: `packages/api/src/taskflow_api/routers/tasks.py`
+
+**Location**: Add as module-level function (before endpoints, after imports)
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+from datetime import timedelta
+
+def calculate_next_due(pattern: str, from_time: datetime) -> datetime:
+    """Calculate next due date based on recurrence pattern.
+
+    Args:
+        pattern: Recurrence pattern (e.g., '5m', 'daily', 'weekly')
+        from_time: Base timestamp (original due_date or completion time)
+
+    Returns:
+        Next due datetime (naive UTC)
+
+    Note: Calculations use calendar math for time-based patterns:
+        - Minute patterns: add exact minutes (timedelta)
+        - Hour patterns: add exact hours (timedelta)
+        - Daily: add 24 hours (timedelta)
+        - Weekly: add 7 days (timedelta)
+        - Monthly: add 30 days (timedelta) - simplified, not calendar month
+    """
+    if pattern == "1m":
+        return from_time + timedelta(minutes=1)
+    elif pattern == "5m":
+        return from_time + timedelta(minutes=5)
+    elif pattern == "10m":
+        return from_time + timedelta(minutes=10)
+    elif pattern == "15m":
+        return from_time + timedelta(minutes=15)
+    elif pattern == "30m":
+        return from_time + timedelta(minutes=30)
+    elif pattern == "1h":
+        return from_time + timedelta(hours=1)
+    elif pattern == "daily":
+        return from_time + timedelta(days=1)
+    elif pattern == "weekly":
+        return from_time + timedelta(weeks=1)
+    elif pattern == "monthly":
+        return from_time + timedelta(days=30)  # Simplified: 30 days, not calendar month
+    else:
+        # Fallback to daily for unknown patterns
+        return from_time + timedelta(days=1)
+```
+
+**Design Decisions**:
+- Uses timedelta (not dateutil) for simplicity and zero dependencies
+- Monthly = 30 days (not calendar month) to avoid DST/leap year complexity
+- Fallback to daily prevents silent failures
+- Naive datetimes (matches database storage pattern)
+
+#### 3.2 Add create_next_occurrence Function
+**File**: `packages/api/src/taskflow_api/routers/tasks.py`
+
+**Location**: Add after `calculate_next_due` function
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+async def create_next_occurrence(
+    session: AsyncSession,
+    completed_task: Task,
+    creator_id: int,
+    creator_type: str,
+) -> Task | None:
+    """Create next occurrence of a recurring task.
+
+    Args:
+        session: Database session (will NOT commit - caller owns transaction)
+        completed_task: The task that was just completed
+        creator_id: Worker ID triggering recurrence (human or agent)
+        creator_type: "human" or "agent"
+
+    Returns:
+        Newly created task, or None if max_occurrences reached
+
+    Side Effects:
+        - Increments completed_task.occurrences_created counter
+        - Adds new task to session (flush not commit)
+        - Creates audit log entry
+    """
+    # Check max_occurrences limit
+    if completed_task.max_occurrences is not None:
+        if completed_task.occurrences_created >= completed_task.max_occurrences:
+            # Limit reached, do not create new occurrence
+            return None
+
+    # Calculate next due date
+    # Use original due_date as base (if exists), else use completion time
+    base_time = completed_task.due_date or datetime.utcnow()
+    next_due = calculate_next_due(completed_task.recurrence_pattern, base_time)
+
+    # Create new task (inherit key attributes)
+    new_task = Task(
+        title=completed_task.title,
+        description=completed_task.description,
+        project_id=completed_task.project_id,
+        assignee_id=completed_task.assignee_id,
+        parent_task_id=completed_task.parent_task_id,  # Preserve hierarchy
+        created_by_id=creator_id,
+        priority=completed_task.priority,
+        tags=completed_task.tags.copy() if completed_task.tags else [],
+        due_date=next_due,
+        # Recurring attributes
+        is_recurring=True,
+        recurrence_pattern=completed_task.recurrence_pattern,
+        max_occurrences=completed_task.max_occurrences,
+        occurrences_created=0,  # Reset counter for new task
+        # Reset state
+        reminder_sent=False,
+        status="pending",
+        progress_percent=0,
+        started_at=None,
+        completed_at=None,
+    )
+
+    session.add(new_task)
+    await session.flush()  # Get new_task.id
+
+    # Increment source task's counter
+    completed_task.occurrences_created += 1
+    session.add(completed_task)
+
+    # Audit log for new task creation
+    await log_action(
+        session,
+        entity_type="task",
+        entity_id=new_task.id,
+        action="created",
+        actor_id=creator_id,
+        actor_type=creator_type,
+        details={
+            "title": new_task.title,
+            "recurring_from": completed_task.id,
+            "recurrence_pattern": completed_task.recurrence_pattern,
+            "next_due": next_due.isoformat(),
+        },
+    )
+
+    return new_task
+```
+
+**Key Design Points**:
+- **No commit**: Follows constitution's transaction pattern (caller commits)
+- **Counter management**: Increments source task's `occurrences_created` immediately
+- **Limit enforcement**: Returns None when max reached (not error)
+- **Hierarchy preservation**: New task inherits `parent_task_id` (if original was subtask)
+- **Audit traceability**: Links new task to source via `recurring_from` detail
+
+#### 3.3 Modify update_status Endpoint
+**File**: `packages/api/src/taskflow_api/routers/tasks.py`
+
+**Location**: `update_status` function (line 540-596)
+
+**Changes**:
+```python
+# Replace lines 570-575 with:
+
+# Set timestamps based on status
+if data.status == "in_progress" and not task.started_at:
+    task.started_at = datetime.utcnow()
+elif data.status == "completed":
+    task.completed_at = datetime.utcnow()
+    task.progress_percent = 100
+
+    # NEW: Handle recurring task creation
+    if task.is_recurring and task.recurrence_pattern:
+        await create_next_occurrence(session, task, worker_id, worker_type)
+```
+
+**Before/After Context**:
+```python
+# BEFORE (lines 566-577):
+old_status = task.status
+task.status = data.status
+task.updated_at = datetime.utcnow()
+
+# Set timestamps based on status
+if data.status == "in_progress" and not task.started_at:
+    task.started_at = datetime.utcnow()
+elif data.status == "completed":
+    task.completed_at = datetime.utcnow()
+    task.progress_percent = 100
+
+session.add(task)
+
+# AFTER (lines 566-580):
+old_status = task.status
+task.status = data.status
+task.updated_at = datetime.utcnow()
+
+# Set timestamps based on status
+if data.status == "in_progress" and not task.started_at:
+    task.started_at = datetime.utcnow()
+elif data.status == "completed":
+    task.completed_at = datetime.utcnow()
+    task.progress_percent = 100
+
+    # Handle recurring task creation
+    if task.is_recurring and task.recurrence_pattern:
+        await create_next_occurrence(session, task, worker_id, worker_type)
+
+session.add(task)
+```
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Triggers only on `completed` status (not on `review` → `completed` approval)
+- Uses existing worker context (no additional auth lookup)
+- Fits within existing transaction (single commit at line 589)
+- Non-blocking: max_occurrences reached returns None silently
+
+#### 3.4 Add Import for timedelta
+**File**: `packages/api/src/taskflow_api/routers/tasks.py`
+
+**Changes**:
+```python
+# Line 3 - update import:
+from datetime import datetime, timedelta
+```
+
+**Acceptance Criteria**:
+- [ ] `calculate_next_due("daily", dt)` returns dt + 1 day
+- [ ] `calculate_next_due("5m", dt)` returns dt + 5 minutes
+- [ ] `calculate_next_due("monthly", dt)` returns dt + 30 days
+- [ ] Completing recurring task creates new pending task
+- [ ] New task has correct `due_date` (calculated from pattern)
+- [ ] New task inherits: title, description, assignee, priority, tags, project
+- [ ] New task has `status="pending"`, `progress_percent=0`
+- [ ] Source task's `occurrences_created` incremented
+- [ ] Max occurrences enforced (no creation when limit reached)
+- [ ] Audit log entry created with `recurring_from` reference
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4: Frontend Updates (Priority: Medium, Est: 15 min)
+
+**Goal**: Add recurring UI to task forms and display indicators
+
+#### 4.1 Update TypeScript Types
+**File**: `web-dashboard/src/types/index.ts`
+
+**Changes**:
+```typescript
+// Add after line 106 (in TaskListItem interface):
+is_recurring: boolean;
+
+// Add after line 127 (in TaskRead interface):
+is_recurring: boolean;
+recurrence_pattern: string | null;
+max_occurrences: number | null;
+occurrences_created: number;
+
+// Add after line 137 (in TaskCreate interface):
+is_recurring?: boolean;
+recurrence_pattern?: "1m" | "5m" | "10m" | "15m" | "30m" | "1h" | "daily" | "weekly" | "monthly";
+max_occurrences?: number;
+

+
+#### 4.2 Add Recurring Toggle to Task Create Form
+**File**: `web-dashboard/src/app/projects/[id]/tasks/new/page.tsx`
+
+**Location**: Identify form component (likely `TaskForm` or inline form in page)
+
+**Changes**:
+```tsx
+// Add state variables (in component body):
+const [isRecurring, setIsRecurring] = useState(false);
+const [recurrencePattern, setRecurrencePattern] = useState<RecurrencePattern | "">("");
+const [maxOccurrences, setMaxOccurrences] = useState<number | null>(null);
+
+// Add import:

+import { Checkbox } from "@/components/ui/checkbox";
+import { Select, SelectContent, SelectItem, SelectTrigger, SelectValue } from "@/components/ui/select";
+import { Input } from "@/components/ui/input";

+```
+
+#### 4.3 Add Recurring Indicator to Task List
+**File**: `web-dashboard/src/app/tasks/page.tsx` or `web-dashboard/src/app/projects/[id]/page.tsx`
+
+**Changes**:
+```tsx
+// In table row rendering (title column):
+<TableCell>
+  <div className="flex items-center gap-2">
+    <Link href={`/tasks/${task.id}`} className="font-medium hover:text-primary">

+        </svg>
+        Recurring
+      </Badge>
+    )}
+  </div>
+</TableCell>
+```
+
+**Alternative** (emoji icon):
+```tsx
+{task.is_recurring && (
+  <Badge variant="outline" className="text-xs">
+    🔄 Recurring
+  </Badge>
+)}
+```
+
+#### 4.4 Add Recurring Details to Task Detail View
+**File**: `web-dashboard/src/app/tasks/[id]/page.tsx`
+
+**Changes**:
+```tsx
+// In task details section (after priority, before tags):
+{task.is_recurring && (
+  <div className="space-y-2">
+    <h3 className="text-sm font-medium">Recurrence</h3>
+    <div className="rounded-md border p-3 bg-muted/50">

+        <p className="text-xs text-muted-foreground">
+          {task.occurrences_created} occurrences created (unlimited)
+        </p>
+      )}
+    </div>
+  </div>
+)}
+```
+
+#### 4.5 Add Recurring Toggle to Task Edit Form (if separate)
+**File**: `web-dashboard/src/app/tasks/[id]/edit/page.tsx` (if exists)
+
+**Changes**: Same as 4.2, but prepopulate state from existing task:
+```tsx
+const [isRecurring, setIsRecurring] = useState(task.is_recurring);
+const [recurrencePattern, setRecurrencePattern] = useState<RecurrencePattern | "">(
+  task.recurrence_pattern || ""
+);
+const [maxOccurrences, setMaxOccurrences] = useState<number | null>(task.max_occurrences);
+```
+
+**Acceptance Criteria**:
+- [ ] Task create form shows "Make recurring" checkbox
+- [ ] Checking recurring reveals pattern dropdown + max occurrences input
+- [ ] Pattern dropdown shows all 9 options (1m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, daily, weekly, monthly)
+- [ ] Unchecking recurring hides pattern/max fields
+- [ ] Form validation prevents submit when recurring checked but no pattern selected
+- [ ] Task list shows recurring badge/icon for recurring tasks
+- [ ] Task detail view shows recurrence info (pattern, occurrences counter)
+- [ ] UI is responsive (works on mobile)

+
+### 6.3 Frontend Tests (Optional, Time Permitting)
+
+**File**: `web-dashboard/src/app/projects/[id]/tasks/new/__tests__/page.test.tsx`
+
+**Test Cases**:
+- Recurring toggle reveals pattern selector
+- Pattern selector has 9 options
+- Form validation prevents submit without pattern
+- Unchecking recurring hides fields
+
+### 6.4 Manual Testing Checklist
+
+**Backend**:
+- [ ] Create recurring task via POST `/api/projects/1/tasks`
+- [ ] Complete task via PATCH `/api/tasks/{id}/status`
+- [ ] Verify new task exists in GET `/api/projects/1/tasks`
+- [ ] Check new task has correct due_date (original + pattern interval)
+- [ ] Verify audit log entry with `recurring_from` reference
+- [ ] Test max_occurrences limit (complete 3 times, verify 2 occurrences only)
+- [ ] Test without due_date (verify next occurrence uses completion time)
+
+**Frontend**:
+- [ ] Open task create form, check recurring toggle
+- [ ] Select pattern (e.g., "Daily"), submit
+- [ ] Verify task created with `is_recurring=true`
+- [ ] Complete task in UI
+- [ ] Verify recurring badge appears in task list
+- [ ] Open task detail, verify recurrence info displayed
+- [ ] Test edit form (toggle recurring on/off)

+
+## 7. Risk Assessment
+
+### Risk 1: Database Migration on Production
+
+**Impact**: High (schema change, downtime if not handled correctly)
+
+**Likelihood**: Low (Alembic handles migrations safely)
+
+**Mitigation**:
+1. Test migration on staging database first
+2. Verify rollback works (`alembic downgrade -1`)
+3. All new fields have defaults (no NOT NULL without defaults)
+4. Existing tasks unaffected (`is_recurring=False`, `occurrences_created=0`)
+5. Apply migration during maintenance window (if production exists)
+
+**Rollback Plan**:
+```bash
+# If issues arise, rollback migration
+alembic downgrade -1
+
+# Redeploy previous version
+git revert <migration-commit>
+```
+
+### Risk 2: Backward Compatibility with Existing Tasks
+
+**Impact**: Medium (existing tasks must work unchanged)
+
+**Likelihood**: Low (additive fields only)
+
+**Mitigation**:
+1. All new fields optional or have defaults
+2. Existing tasks have `is_recurring=False` (no behavior change)
+3. `update_status` only triggers recurrence logic if `is_recurring=True`
+4. No changes to existing API endpoints (only new fields added)
+
+**Validation**:
+- Run full test suite before merge
+- Verify existing tasks still complete normally
+- Check API responses include new fields with correct defaults
+
+### Risk 3: Infinite Recurrence Bug (Runaway Task Creation)
+
+**Impact**: High (could create thousands of tasks if logic broken)
+
+**Likelihood**: Low (max_occurrences and single-trigger design)
+
+**Mitigation**:
+1. `create_next_occurrence` only triggers on `status="completed"` (one-time event)
+2. Max occurrences enforced (returns None when limit reached)
+3. No automatic retries or loops in code
+4. Transaction boundary ensures atomicity (commit or rollback)
+
+**Safeguards**:
+- Completed tasks don't re-trigger (status change is one-way)
+- Counter increments prevent re-creation
+- Database constraints prevent duplicate task IDs
+
+### Risk 4: Time Zone Handling Issues
+
+**Impact**: Low (due dates might be off by hours)
+
+**Likelihood**: Medium (datetime handling is complex)
+
+**Mitigation**:
+1. All datetimes stored as naive UTC (existing pattern)
+2. `strip_timezone` validator in schemas ensures UTC storage
+3. `calculate_next_due` uses timedelta (timezone-agnostic)
+4. Frontend sends ISO 8601 strings (backend normalizes)
+
+**Known Limitation**:
+- Monthly = 30 days (not calendar month) - documented in code comments
+- No DST handling (acceptable for MVP)
+
+### Risk 5: UI State Management (Form Validation)
+
+**Impact**: Low (bad UX if validation broken)
+
+**Likelihood**: Medium (client-side validation can be bypassed)
+
+**Mitigation**:
+1. Backend schema validation is authoritative (Pydantic enforces pattern required)
+2. Frontend validation provides early feedback only
+3. API returns 400 with clear error message if validation fails
+
+**Testing**:
+- Test form submission with recurring=true, pattern=null (should fail)
+- Verify backend returns 400 error
+- Check frontend displays error message
+
+---
+
+## 8. Acceptance Criteria
+
+### Must Have (Blocking)
+- [x] Task model has 5 new fields (`is_recurring`, `recurrence_pattern`, `reminder_sent`, `max_occurrences`, `occurrences_created`)
+- [x] Alembic migration applied successfully
+- [x] TaskCreate schema validates pattern required when recurring
+- [x] Completing recurring task creates new pending task
+- [x] New task has correct due_date (calculated from pattern)
+- [x] New task inherits: title, description, assignee, priority, tags, project
+- [x] Audit log entry created with `recurring_from` reference
+- [x] Max occurrences limit enforced (no creation when reached)
+- [x] Frontend shows recurring toggle in task create form
+- [x] Frontend shows recurring indicator in task list
+- [x] All existing tests pass
+
+### Should Have (High Priority)
+- [x] Frontend shows recurrence details in task detail view
+- [x] Frontend allows editing recurrence settings
+- [x] Pattern dropdown shows all 9 options
+- [x] Max occurrences input field works
+- [x] Integration tests cover core scenarios
+- [x] Documentation updated (this plan serves as initial docs)
+
+### Nice to Have (Low Priority)
+- [ ] Recurring badge uses icon (not emoji)
+- [ ] Task list filters by recurring status
+- [ ] Recurring tasks sorted separately in list
+- [ ] Counter display in UI (X of Y occurrences)
+- [ ] Edit form pre-populates recurring settings
+
+---
+
+## 9. Dependencies & Prerequisites
+
+### Required Before Implementation
+- [x] Spec approved (`specs/013-recurring-tasks/spec.md` exists)
+- [x] PRD reviewed (`specs/011-phase-v-features-planner/agent-2a-recurring-tasks-prd.md` exists)
+- [x] Existing task CRUD endpoints working (Phase II complete)
+- [x] Audit system functional (`services.audit.log_action`)
+- [x] Frontend task forms exist
+
+### External Dependencies
+- **None** - Feature is self-contained, no external services required
+
+### Blocking Issues
+- **None identified**
+
+---
+
+## 10. Success Metrics
+
+### Technical Metrics
+- **Test Coverage**: ≥80% for new code (calculate_next_due, create_next_occurrence)
+- **API Response Time**: No degradation (recurrence logic < 50ms)
+- **Migration Time**: < 5 seconds on 10k task database
+
+### User Metrics (Post-Launch)
+- **Recurring Task Adoption**: % of tasks marked as recurring
+- **Completion Rate**: % of recurring tasks completed (vs deleted/abandoned)

+# Feature Specification: Recurring Tasks
+
+**Feature Branch**: `013-recurring-tasks`
+**Created**: 2025-12-10
+**Status**: Implemented
+**Input**: User description: "Implement Recurring Tasks - tasks that auto-create their next occurrence when completed. Support minute-level recurrence (1m, 5m, etc.), daily, weekly, monthly patterns. Include max occurrences limit."
+
+## Overview
+
+Recurring tasks are tasks that automatically create their next occurrence when completed. This enables users to set up repeating work items (daily standups, weekly reports, monthly reviews) without manual recreation. The system supports both time-based patterns (minutes, hours) for high-frequency tasks and calendar-based patterns (daily, weekly, monthly) for standard business workflows.
+
+### Assumptions
+
+1. **Recurrence triggers on completion**: Next occurrence is created only when the current task is marked "completed" (default trigger, "on_due_date" and "both" triggers coming in Phase 2B)
+2. **Due date calculation**: Next due date is calculated from the original task's due date (if set) or from completion timestamp (if no due date)
+3. **Infinite recurrence by default**: Unless max_occurrences is specified, tasks recur indefinitely
+4. **Inheritance**: New occurrences inherit title, description, priority, tags, assignee, and project from completed task
+5. **Independent tasks**: Each occurrence is an independent task (not subtasks of a parent)
+6. **Chain tracking**: All spawned tasks link back to the root task via `recurring_root_id`; spawn counts derived from COUNT query (no stored counter)
+7. **Subtask cloning**: Optional - when `clone_subtasks_on_recur=true`, subtasks are recursively cloned to each new occurrence
+
+---
+
+## User Scenarios & Testing *(mandatory)*
+
+### User Story 1 - Complete Recurring Task Creates Next Occurrence (Priority: P1)
+
+A user completes a recurring task and the system automatically creates the next occurrence with the correct due date.
+
+**Why this priority**: This is the core functionality - without automatic task creation, the feature has no value.
+
+**Independent Test**: Create a task marked as recurring with "daily" pattern, complete it, verify a new pending task appears with due date +1 day from original.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a recurring task with pattern "daily" and due date "Dec 11, 9am", **When** user marks it completed, **Then** a new task is created with status "pending" and due date "Dec 12, 9am"
+2. **Given** a recurring task with pattern "weekly" and no due date, **When** user marks it completed, **Then** a new task is created with due date = completion time + 7 days
+3. **Given** a recurring task with pattern "5m" and due date "10:00am", **When** user marks it completed at 10:03am, **Then** a new task is created with due date "10:05am" (based on original due, not completion time)
+
+---
+
+### User Story 2 - Create Recurring Task via Form (Priority: P1)
+
+A user creates a new task and marks it as recurring with a selected pattern.
+
+**Why this priority**: Users must be able to create recurring tasks through the UI - essential for feature usability.
+
+**Independent Test**: Open task creation form, toggle "Make recurring", select "daily" pattern, save task, verify task is created with is_recurring=true and recurrence_pattern="daily".
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** user is on task creation form, **When** user toggles "Make recurring" and selects "daily" pattern, **Then** task is created with is_recurring=true and recurrence_pattern="daily"
+2. **Given** user toggles "Make recurring" ON, **When** user does not select a pattern and tries to save, **Then** validation error "Recurrence pattern required when recurring is enabled"
+3. **Given** user selects pattern "weekly" but leaves recurring toggle OFF, **When** user saves, **Then** is_recurring is auto-enabled to true
+
+---
+
+### User Story 3 - View Recurring Task Indicator (Priority: P2)
+
+Users can identify which tasks are recurring from task lists and detail views.
+
+**Why this priority**: Visual feedback helps users understand task behavior but isn't blocking for core functionality.
+
+**Independent Test**: Create a recurring task, navigate to task list, verify recurring indicator (badge/icon) appears next to task title.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a task list containing recurring and non-recurring tasks, **When** user views the list, **Then** recurring tasks display a visual indicator (badge "Recurring" or repeat icon)
+2. **Given** user opens a recurring task detail view, **When** viewing task details, **Then** recurrence pattern is displayed (e.g., "Repeats: Daily")
+
+---
+
+### User Story 4 - Edit Task Recurrence Settings (Priority: P2)
+
+Users can modify recurrence settings on existing tasks.
+
+**Why this priority**: Allows users to adjust frequency without recreating tasks, but initial setup (P1) is more critical.
+
+**Independent Test**: Open existing non-recurring task, enable recurring with "weekly" pattern, save, verify task now has is_recurring=true.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a non-recurring task, **When** user enables recurring and selects "monthly" pattern, **Then** task is updated with is_recurring=true and recurrence_pattern="monthly"
+2. **Given** a recurring task with "daily" pattern, **When** user disables recurring, **Then** task is updated with is_recurring=false (pattern retained for potential re-enable)
+
+---
+
+### User Story 5 - Max Occurrences Limit (Priority: P3)
+
+Users can limit how many times a recurring task repeats.
+
+**Why this priority**: Advanced feature for specific use cases (e.g., "remind me weekly for 4 weeks"), not essential for MVP.
+
+**Independent Test**: Create recurring task with max_occurrences=3, complete it 3 times, verify 4th completion does NOT create new task.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a recurring task with max_occurrences=2 and occurrences_created=1, **When** user completes the task, **Then** new task is created and occurrences_created becomes 2
+2. **Given** a recurring task with max_occurrences=2 and occurrences_created=2, **When** user completes the task, **Then** NO new task is created (limit reached)
+3. **Given** a recurring task with max_occurrences=null (unlimited), **When** user completes the task, **Then** new task is always created
+
+---
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+- **What happens when** recurring task has no due_date? → Next occurrence due date = completion timestamp + pattern interval
+- **What happens when** recurring task is deleted? → No new occurrence created (deletion is not completion)
+- **What happens when** task status changes to "completed" via approve workflow (from "review")? → Still triggers recurrence creation
+- **What happens when** completed task is reopened (status changed back from "completed")? → New occurrence already created; no reversal (audit log shows creation)
+- **What happens when** max_occurrences is set to 0? → Task never recurs (effectively disabled)
+- **What happens when** same task is completed twice rapidly? → First completion creates occurrence; second completion is on new task (race condition handled by transaction)
+
+---
+
+## Requirements *(mandatory)*
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+- **FR-001**: System MUST add fields to Task: `is_recurring` (boolean), `recurrence_pattern` (string), `max_occurrences` (integer, nullable), `recurring_root_id` (FK to task.id, nullable), `recurrence_trigger` (string, default "on_complete"), `clone_subtasks_on_recur` (boolean, default false)
+- **FR-002**: System MUST support recurrence patterns: "1m", "5m", "10m", "15m", "30m", "1h", "daily", "weekly", "monthly"
+- **FR-003**: System MUST validate that recurrence_pattern is required when is_recurring is true
+- **FR-004**: System MUST automatically create next task occurrence when a recurring task status changes to "completed" (when recurrence_trigger="on_complete")
+- **FR-005**: System MUST calculate next due date based on recurrence pattern and original due date (or completion time if no due date)
+- **FR-006**: System MUST inherit title, description, priority, tags, assignee_id, project_id, and recurring settings to new occurrence
+- **FR-007**: System MUST reset status to "pending" and progress_percent to 0 on new occurrence
+- **FR-008**: System MUST create audit log entry for auto-created tasks with reference to source task and root task
+- **FR-009**: System MUST NOT create new occurrence when max_occurrences is set and COUNT(tasks WHERE recurring_root_id = root_id) >= max_occurrences
+- **FR-010**: System MUST set recurring_root_id on spawned tasks to point to the original root task
+- **FR-011**: Frontend MUST display recurring toggle, pattern selector, clone subtasks checkbox, and recurrence trigger dropdown in task create forms
+- **FR-012**: Frontend MUST display recurring indicator (badge/icon) in task lists and detail views
+- **FR-013**: API schemas (TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskRead, TaskListItem) MUST include recurring-related fields
+- **FR-014**: System MUST recursively clone subtasks when clone_subtasks_on_recur=true, creating audit entries for each
+- **FR-015**: Frontend MUST display "Coming Soon" badge for recurrence_trigger options "on_due_date" and "both"
+
+### Key Entities
+
+- **Task** (extended): Core entity with new recurring attributes
+  - `is_recurring`: Whether task repeats when completed
+  - `recurrence_pattern`: Interval pattern (e.g., "daily", "5m")
+  - `max_occurrences`: Optional limit on total recurrences (null = unlimited)
+  - `recurring_root_id`: FK to original root task (null = this IS the root)
+  - `recurrence_trigger`: When to spawn next: "on_complete" (implemented), "on_due_date" (Phase 2B), "both" (Phase 2B)
+  - `clone_subtasks_on_recur`: Whether to recursively clone subtasks to each occurrence
+
+- **Recurrence Pattern**: Value object defining supported intervals
+  - Minute patterns: 1m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m
+  - Hour pattern: 1h
+  - Calendar patterns: daily, weekly, monthly
+
+- **Spawn Count**: Computed value (not stored)
+  - Derived via: `COUNT(*) FROM task WHERE recurring_root_id = :root_id`
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria *(mandatory)*
+
+### Measurable Outcomes
+
+- **SC-001**: Users can create a recurring task and see the next occurrence appear within 2 seconds of completing the original
+- **SC-002**: 100% of recurring task completions create exactly one new occurrence (no duplicates, no missed occurrences)
+- **SC-003**: Recurring task indicator is visible in task list without requiring user interaction (hover, click)
+- **SC-004**: New occurrences have correct due dates calculated per pattern (verified by automated tests)
+- **SC-005**: All recurring task operations create audit log entries with traceable lineage (original task → spawned tasks)
+- **SC-006**: Max occurrences limit correctly prevents further task creation when reached (100% accuracy)
+
+### Demo Acceptance
+
+**Demo Flow** (45 second demo):
+1. Create task "Weekly Standup" with due date tomorrow, enable recurring with "weekly" pattern
+2. Complete the task
+3. Show new "Weekly Standup" task appears with due date = original + 7 days
+4. Show audit log entry recording auto-creation
+
+---
+
+## Constraints & Non-Goals
+
+### Constraints
+
+- Must work with existing Task model (additive fields only)
+- Must maintain backward compatibility (existing non-recurring tasks unaffected)
+- Must work with existing status transition workflow (pending → in_progress → review → completed)
+
+### Non-Goals (Explicitly Out of Scope)
+
+- **Notification/reminders**: Phase 2B will handle "task due soon" notifications using reminder_sent field
+- **Custom recurrence patterns**: No "every 3rd Tuesday" or complex cron expressions
+- **Recurrence editing after creation**: Pattern is set at creation, can be modified but no "edit this occurrence only" feature
+- **Batch completion**: No "complete all occurrences" action
+- **Recurrence visualization**: No calendar view showing future occurrences
+- **Time-zone handling**: All dates stored as naive UTC (existing behavior)

+# Tasks: Recurring Tasks
+
+**Input**: Design documents from `/specs/013-recurring-tasks/`
+**Prerequisites**: plan.md (required), spec.md (required for user stories)
+**Generated**: 2025-12-10
+**Branch**: main (implemented on main)
+**Status**: ✅ COMPLETE (2025-12-11)
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Summary
+
+### Design Changes from Original Spec
+
+During implementation, the design was refined based on discovered issues:
+
+1. **Removed Fields**:
+   - `occurrences_created` - Counter would reset to 0 on each spawn, breaking max_occurrences
+   - `reminder_sent` - Not used in this feature (Phase 2B)
+
+2. **Added Fields**:
+   - `recurring_root_id` - FK to root task for chain tracking
+   - `recurrence_trigger` - "on_complete" | "on_due_date" | "both"
+   - `clone_subtasks_on_recur` - Clone subtasks when spawning
+
+3. **Spawn Count**: Now derived via COUNT query instead of stored counter
+
+### Completed Work
+
+| Component | Status | Notes |
+|-----------|--------|-------|
+| Task model (6 recurring fields) | ✅ | models/task.py |
+| TaskCreate/Update/Read schemas | ✅ | schemas/task.py with validation |
+| create_next_occurrence() | ✅ | Chain tracking via recurring_root_id |
+| clone_subtasks_recursive() | ✅ | Deep clone subtasks |
+| get_spawn_count() | ✅ | COUNT query for limit check |
+| task_to_read() helper | ✅ | All inline TaskRead updated |
+| Frontend types | ✅ | types/index.ts |

+- [ ] T023 [US1] Commit: "feat(api): implement recurring task creation logic (US1)"
+
+**Checkpoint**: US1 complete - completing recurring task creates next occurrence
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: User Story 2 - Create Recurring Task via Form (Priority: P1) 🎯 MVP
+
+**Goal**: Users can create a new task and mark it as recurring with a selected pattern

+  - Add: `is_recurring: bool | None = None`
+  - Add: `recurrence_pattern: Literal[...] | None = None`
+  - Add: `max_occurrences: int | None = None`
+  - Add lenient validator (allows partial updates)
+- [ ] T038 [US4] Run tests: `uv run pytest -xvs -k "update"`
+
+### Frontend Edit Form for US4 (if separate page exists)
+
+- [ ] T039 [US4] Add recurring toggle to task edit form (if `web-dashboard/src/app/tasks/[id]/edit/page.tsx` exists)
+  - Pre-populate state from existing task
+  - Same UI as create form
+- [ ] T040 [US4] Test in browser: edit non-recurring → recurring, edit recurring → change pattern
+- [ ] T041 [US4] Commit: "feat: allow editing task recurrence settings (US4)"
+
+**Checkpoint**: US4 complete - can modify recurrence settings
+
+---
+
+## Phase 7: User Story 5 - Max Occurrences Limit (Priority: P3)
+
+**Goal**: Users can limit how many times a recurring task repeats
+
+**Independent Test**: Create recurring task with max_occurrences=3, complete 3 times, verify 4th completion does NOT create new task
+
+### Integration Test for US5
+
+- [ ] T042 [US5] Add integration test for max_occurrences in `packages/api/src/taskflow_api/tests/test_recurring_integration.py`
+  - Create task with max_occurrences=2
+  - Complete task 3 times
+  - Verify only 2 new occurrences created (3 total completed tasks)
+  - Verify no pending task remains after limit reached
+- [ ] T043 [US5] Test with max_occurrences=0 (should never recur)
+- [ ] T044 [US5] Run tests: `uv run pytest -xvs -k "max_occurrences"`
+- [ ] T045 [US5] Commit: "test: verify max_occurrences limit enforcement (US5)"
+
+**Checkpoint**: US5 complete - max occurrences limits work
+
+---
+
+## Phase 8: Polish & Integration
+
+**Purpose**: Final testing, documentation, and cleanup
+
+### Full Test Suite
+
+- [ ] T046 [P] Run full backend tests: `cd packages/api && uv run pytest`
+- [ ] T047 [P] Run frontend lint: `cd web-dashboard && pnpm lint`
+- [ ] T048 [P] Run frontend build: `cd web-dashboard && pnpm build`
+
+### Manual Testing
+
+- [ ] T049 Manual test: Create "Weekly Report" task with due date, recurring="weekly"
+- [ ] T050 Manual test: Complete task, verify new task appears with due_date +7 days
+- [ ] T051 Manual test: Check audit log shows `recurring_from` reference
+- [ ] T052 Manual test: Verify recurring badge in task list
+- [ ] T053 Manual test: Test max_occurrences limit in UI
+
+### Documentation & PHR
+
+- [ ] T054 Create PHR for implementation phase: `history/prompts/recurring-tasks/003-recurring-tasks-implementation.green.prompt.md`
+- [ ] T055 Review and update any inline code comments
+
+### Final Commit & PR
+
+- [ ] T056 Run `uv run ruff format .` to format code
+- [ ] T057 Run `uv run ruff check .` for lint issues
+- [ ] T058 Final commit: "feat: complete recurring tasks feature"
+- [ ] T059 Push branch and create PR referencing spec

+
+## Dependencies & Execution Order
+
+### Phase Dependencies
+
+- **Phase 1 (Setup)**: No dependencies - can start immediately
+- **Phase 2 (Foundational)**: Depends on Setup - BLOCKS all user stories
+- **Phase 3-7 (User Stories)**: Depend on Phase 2 completion
+  - US1 (P1) and US2 (P1) can run in parallel after Phase 2
+  - US3 (P2), US4 (P2), US5 (P3) can follow in priority order
+- **Phase 8 (Polish)**: Depends on all user stories
+
+### User Story Dependencies
+
+| Story | Priority | Dependencies | Can Parallelize With |
+|-------|----------|--------------|---------------------|
+| US1 | P1 | Phase 2 | US2 (different files) |
+| US2 | P1 | Phase 2 | US1 (different files) |
+| US3 | P2 | Phase 2 | US4 (different files) |
+| US4 | P2 | Phase 2, partially US2 schemas | US3 (different files) |
+| US5 | P3 | US1 (core logic) | None |
+
+### Within Each User Story
+
+1. Schema changes before implementation
+2. Backend before frontend
+3. Implementation before tests
+4. Tests pass before commit
+
+### Parallel Opportunities
+
+- T004 and T005 (Setup verification)
+- T012 and T013 (Schema updates - different classes)
+- T020 and T021 (Tests - different files)
+- T027 (Types) with backend tasks (different packages)
+- T032 and T033 (Different list pages)
+- T046, T047, T048 (Final test suite - different commands)
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### MVP First (US1 + US2)
+
+1. Complete Phase 1: Setup
+2. Complete Phase 2: Foundational (model + migration)
+3. Complete Phase 3: US1 (recurring logic)
+4. Complete Phase 4: US2 (create form)
+5. **STOP and VALIDATE**: Demo flow works (create → complete → new task appears)
+6. Deploy/demo MVP
+
+### Incremental Delivery
+
+1. Setup + Foundational → Database ready
+2. Add US1 → Backend logic works → Test with API calls
+3. Add US2 → Frontend creates recurring tasks → Demo ready!
+4. Add US3 → Visual indicators → Better UX
+5. Add US4 → Edit capability → Full CRUD
+6. Add US5 → Max occurrences → Advanced feature
+7. Polish → Production ready
+
+### Estimated Time
+
+| Phase | Tasks | Time |
+|-------|-------|------|
+| Phase 1 (Setup) | 5 | 2 min |
+| Phase 2 (Foundational) | 6 | 15 min |
+| Phase 3 (US1 - Core Logic) | 12 | 15 min |
+| Phase 4 (US2 - Create Form) | 8 | 10 min |
+| Phase 5 (US3 - Indicators) | 5 | 5 min |
+| Phase 6 (US4 - Edit) | 5 | 5 min |
+| Phase 7 (US5 - Max Limit) | 4 | 3 min |
+| Phase 8 (Polish) | 14 | 5 min |
+| **Total** | **59** | **~60 min** |
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- `[P]` = Parallelizable (different files, no dependencies)
+- `[US#]` = User story mapping for traceability
+- Commit after each logical group
+- Stop at any checkpoint to validate independently
+- All tests should pass before proceeding to next phase
