# Create a task assigned to an app
lark-cli task +create \
  --summary "Nightly Sync" \
  --assignee "cli_xxx"

# Create a simple task
lark-cli task +create \
  --summary "Buy milk"

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------|
| `--summary <text>` | Yes | The title or summary of the task |
| `--description <text>` | No | Detailed description of the task |
| `--assignee <id>` | No | Assignee ID. Use user `open_id` like `ou_xxx` for people, or app ID like `cli_xxx` for apps. |
| `--follower <id>` | No | Follower ID. Use user `open_id` like `ou_xxx` for people, or app ID like `cli_xxx` for apps. |
| `--due <time>` | No | Due date. Supports ISO 8601, `YYYY-MM-DD`, relative time (e.g., `+2d`), or ms timestamp. `YYYY-MM-DD` and relative time will automatically set it as an all-day task. |
| `--tasklist-id <id>` | No | The GUID of the tasklist, or a full AppLink URL (the CLI will automatically extract the `guid` parameter from the URL). |
| `--idempotency-key <key>` | No | Client token to ensure idempotency of the request. |
| `--dry-run` | No | Preview the API call (JSON payload) without actually creating the task. |

## Workflow

1. Confirm with the user: task summary, due date, assignee, and tasklist if necessary.
   - **Crucial Rule for Assignee**: If the user explicitly or implicitly says "create a task for me" (给我创建一个任务), or "help me create a task" (帮我新建/创建一个任务), you MUST assign the task to the current logged-in user. You can get the current user's `open_id` by executing `lark-cli auth status` (it already outputs JSON by default, so do not add `--json`) or `lark-cli contact +get-user` first, extracting `.identities.user.openId` (from `auth status`) or `.data.user.open_id` (from `contact +get-user`), and then passing it to the `--assignee` parameter.
2. Execute `lark-cli task +create --summary "..." ...`
3. Judge success by `ok == true` in the stdout JSON (the success envelope has no `code` field — do not test `code == 0`), then report the result: task ID (`data.guid`) and summary.

Example success response:

```json
{
  "ok": true,
  "identity": "user",
  "data": {
    "guid": "e297d3d0-4b60-4a5f-a4d4-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "url": "https://applink.larkoffice.com/client/todo/detail?guid=e297d3d0-4b60-4a5f-a4d4-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
  }
}
```

> This is a **Write Operation** -- You must confirm the user's intent before executing.
