# Verification: task_create Default State

## Issue #115 Request
Change default state for new tasks from "To Do" to "Planning"

## Current Implementation Status
**Already implemented** - The default has been "Planning" since initial commit.

### Code Evidence
File: `lib/tools/task-create.ts` (line 68)
```typescript
const label = (params.label as StateLabel) ?? "Planning";
```

### Documentation Evidence
File: `README.md` (line 308)
```
- `label` (string, optional) — State label (defaults to "Planning")
```

### Tool Description
The tool description itself states:
```
The issue is created with a state label (defaults to "Planning").
```

## Timeline
- **Feb 9, 2026** (commit 8a79755e): Initial task_create implementation with "Planning" default
- **Feb 10, 2026**: Issue #115 created requesting this change (already done)

## Verification Test
Default behavior can be verified by calling task_create without specifying a label:

```javascript
task_create({
  projectGroupId: "-5239235162",
  title: "Test Issue"
  // label parameter omitted - should default to "Planning"
})
```

Expected result: Issue created with "Planning" label, NOT "To Do"

## Conclusion
The requested feature is already fully implemented. No code changes needed.
