Excellent! Now let me verify the changes look correct by checking the area around the new tasks table:


Bash

grep -n "CREATE TABLE" "D:\ClaudeTools\MSP-MODE-SPEC.md" | head -10

List first 10 CREATE TABLE statements to verify tasks table is included


414:CREATE TABLE machines (
567:CREATE TABLE clients (
593:CREATE TABLE projects (
631:CREATE TABLE sessions (
667:CREATE TABLE work_items (
709:CREATE TABLE pending_tasks (
740:CREATE TABLE tasks (
798:CREATE TABLE sites (
821:CREATE TABLE infrastructure (
873:CREATE TABLE services (


Perfect! Let me also verify the table count update:


grep -n "total:.*tables" "D:\ClaudeTools\MSP-MODE-SPEC.md"

Verify table count has been updated to 35


3495:  - Added 1 new database table (total: 35 tables):
3526:  - Added 3 new database tables (total: 33 tables):


Good! The main reference has been updated to 35 tables. There's an older changelog entry that mentions 33 tables, but that's expected as it's a historical reference. Let me verify the structure is correct by reading the section around the new table:

### 2. Client & Infrastructure Tables (7 tables)

#### `sites`
Physical/logical locations for clients.

```sql


Perfect! The changes have been successfully applied. Let me create a summary of what was done:

## Confirmation: Tasks Table Added to MSP-MODE-SPEC.md

The `tasks` table schema has been successfully added to D:\ClaudeTools\MSP-MODE-SPEC.md.

### Changes Made:

1. **Added tasks table** (lines 735-788)
   - Inserted after `pending_tasks` table and before the "Client & Infrastructure Tables" section
   - Includes complete schema with all requested fields:
     - Task hierarchy (parent_task_id, task_order)
     - Task details (title, description, task_type)
     - Status tracking (status, blocking_reason)
     - Context linking (session_id, client_id, project_id, assigned_agent)
     - Timing fields (estimated_complexity, started_at, completed_at)
     - JSON context fields (task_context, dependencies)
     - Proper indexes for performance

2. **Updated table count** (line 3495)
   - Changed from "total: 34 tables" to "total: 35 tables"

### Table Location:
The tasks table is now positioned as table #7 in the core session/work tracking section:
1. machines
2. clients
3. projects
4. sessions
5. work_items
6. pending_tasks
7. **tasks** (NEW)
8. sites
9. infrastructure
...and so on

The schema is properly formatted, includes all CHECK constraints, foreign key relationships, and indexes as specified.
