+Clear all subtasks from a specific task.
+
+Arguments: $ARGUMENTS (task ID)
+
+Remove all subtasks from a parent task at once.
+
+## Clearing Subtasks
+
+Bulk removal of all subtasks from a parent task.
+
+## Execution
+
+```bash
+task-master clear-subtasks --id=<task-id>
+```
+
+## Pre-Clear Analysis
+
+1. **Subtask Summary**
+   - Number of subtasks
+   - Completion status of each
+   - Work already done
+   - Dependencies affected
+
+2. **Impact Assessment**
+   - Data that will be lost
+   - Dependencies to be removed
+   - Effect on project timeline
+   - Parent task implications
+
+## Confirmation Required
+
+```
+Clear Subtasks Confirmation
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+Parent Task: #5 "Implement user authentication"
+Subtasks to remove: 4
+- #5.1 "Setup auth framework" (done)
+- #5.2 "Create login form" (in-progress)
+- #5.3 "Add validation" (pending)
+- #5.4 "Write tests" (pending)
+
+⚠️  This will permanently delete all subtask data
+Continue? (y/n)
+```
+
+## Smart Features
+
+- Option to convert to standalone tasks
+- Backup task data before clearing
+- Preserve completed work history
+- Update parent task appropriately
+
+## Process
+
+1. List all subtasks for confirmation
+2. Check for in-progress work
+3. Remove all subtasks
+4. Update parent task
+5. Clean up dependencies
+
+## Alternative Options
+
+Suggest alternatives:
+- Convert important subtasks to tasks
+- Keep completed subtasks
+- Archive instead of delete
+- Export subtask data first
+
+## Post-Clear
+
+- Show updated parent task
+- Recalculate time estimates
+- Update task complexity
+- Suggest next steps
+
+## Example
+
+```
+/taskmaster:clear-subtasks 5
+→ Found 4 subtasks to remove
+→ Warning: Subtask #5.2 is in-progress
+→ Cleared all subtasks from task #5
+→ Updated parent task estimates
+→ Suggestion: Consider re-expanding with better breakdown
