Greptile Summary

This PR extends the Vikunja extension with two features: a defaultProject preference that controls the initially selected project in List Tasks, and a Cmd+N "Create Task" quick action available both in the list view and in each task's action panel that pre-fills the project context. The previously flagged P1 (missing regenerated raycast-env.d.ts) is now resolved — the file is committed and includes defaultProject and the new projectId argument correctly.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge; remaining findings are minor style suggestions only.

All previously flagged P1 issues are resolved (raycast-env.d.ts is now committed with the correct generated types). Only P2 style findings remain: a hardcoded date in the second changelog entry and a redundant ternary branch in create-task.tsx.

CHANGELOG.md — second entry uses a hardcoded date instead of {PR_MERGE_DATE}.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
extensions/vikunja/CHANGELOG.md	Two new changelog entries added; the second uses a hardcoded date instead of the required {PR_MERGE_DATE} placeholder.
extensions/vikunja/src/list-tasks.tsx	Adds defaultProject preference lookup and Cmd+N "Create Task" action panel; logic is clean and correctly defers to launchContext when present.
extensions/vikunja/src/create-task.tsx	Adds projectId argument and launchContext support; defaultValue computation for the project dropdown has a minor redundant branch.
extensions/vikunja/raycast-env.d.ts	Now committed and properly includes defaultProject in ExtensionPreferences and projectId in Arguments.CreateTask; resolves the previous P1 missing-file concern.
extensions/vikunja/src/components/task-list-item.tsx	Adds "Create Task in Project" action with Cmd+N shortcut that launches create-task with the current task's project_id pre-filled.
extensions/vikunja/package.json	Adds contributor, defaultProject preference, and projectId argument to create-task; all fields look correct.

Comment:
**Hardcoded date should use `{PR_MERGE_DATE}`**

Both changelog entries are newly added in this PR. The second entry uses a hardcoded date `2026-04-19` instead of the `{PR_MERGE_DATE}` placeholder that the repo standard requires for all unreleased entries. If these represent two distinct logical releases, only the top entry (the latest) needs the placeholder — but since neither exists in the repo before this PR, both should use `{PR_MERGE_DATE}` or be collapsed into one entry.

```suggestion
## [Default Project Preference] - {PR_MERGE_DATE}
```

**Rule Used:** What: Changelog entries must use `{PR_MERGE_DATE}`... ([source](https://app.greptile.com/review/custom-context?memory=c2214c11-df56-490a-b1c0-09a385df481a))

Comment:
**Redundant outer ternary branch in `defaultValue`**

`contextProjectId` is already computed as `parseInt(argProjectId)` when `props.arguments.projectId` is truthy, so the first branch of the ternary produces the same value that the second branch would. The whole expression simplifies to:

```suggestion
            defaultValue={contextProjectId ? String(contextProjectId) : undefined}
```

Hey @strikerlulu — I'm the original author of the extension, really glad to see someone contributing! Both features are exactly the kind of quality-of-life stuff I've been missing myself 🙌

Before it goes to Raycast review: Greptile already flagged two things, and one of them unfortunately blocks the merge — the regenerated raycast-env.d.ts is missing (it was deleted but not re-committed). Running npm run dev once should regenerate it; just commit the result.

Once that's back, the manual Preferences & { defaultProject?: string } in list-tasks.tsx also becomes unnecessary — defaultProject will already be part of the auto-generated Preferences type.

Otherwise LGTM! Let me know if I can help with testing.

@flexorflex I don't know why raycast npx @raycast/api@latest publish removed that raycast-env.d.ts
I didnt clone the entire repo, i was just forking using extension shortcut and submiting pr using npx @raycast/api@latest
If you dont mind can you add it and remove the block ?

[flexorflex]

Hey @strikerlulu — no worries at all, this one's actually on our side! The raycast-env.d.ts line in .gitignore was a leftover from the original scaffold — good catch on removing it 🙏 that's exactly why ray publish never managed to commit the regenerated file.

I pulled your branch locally and ran ray build against it. Here's what it produced:

/// <reference types="@raycast/api">

/* 🚧 🚧 🚧
 * This file is auto-generated from the extension's manifest.
 * Do not modify manually. Instead, update the `package.json` file.
 * 🚧 🚧 🚧 */

/* eslint-disable @typescript-eslint/ban-types */

type ExtensionPreferences = {
  /** Vikunja URL - Base URL of your Vikunja instance (e.g. https://tasks.example.com) */
  "apiUrl": string,
  /** API Token - Vikunja API token for authentication */
  "apiToken": string,
  /** Default Project - Default project ID to show in List Tasks. Use "all" to show all projects. */
  "defaultProject"?: string
}

/** Preferences accessible in all the extension's commands */
declare type Preferences = ExtensionPreferences

declare namespace Preferences {
  /** Preferences accessible in the `create-task` command */
  export type CreateTask = ExtensionPreferences & {}
  /** Preferences accessible in the `list-tasks` command */
  export type ListTasks = ExtensionPreferences & {}
  /** Preferences accessible in the `list-projects` command */
  export type ListProjects = ExtensionPreferences & {}
  /** Preferences accessible in the `search-tasks` command */
  export type SearchTasks = ExtensionPreferences & {}
}

declare namespace Arguments {
  /** Arguments passed to the `create-task` command */
  export type CreateTask = {
  /** Task title */
  "title": string,
  /** Project ID (optional) */
  "projectId": string
}
  /** Arguments passed to the `list-tasks` command */
  export type ListTasks = {}
  /** Arguments passed to the `list-projects` command */
  export type ListProjects = {}
  /** Arguments passed to the `search-tasks` command */
  export type SearchTasks = {}
}

Just drop it in as extensions/vikunja/raycast-env.d.ts, git add extensions/vikunja/raycast-env.d.ts, commit, push — and that should unblock everything.

Also: thanks for the ternary cleanup and switching to plain Preferences — both look great. Appreciate the quick turnaround!

I was trying to create the file from browser itself & made false commits, fixed everything @flexorflex

nitpick: no need to commit this

since this will be generated during the build process, you don’t need to commit it

Looks good to me, approved ✅
