Task Management

Tasks are tracked in a simple TASKS.md file that both you and the user can edit.

File Location

Always use TASKS.md in the current working directory.

• If it exists, read/write to it
• If it doesn't exist, create it with the template below

Dashboard Setup (First Run)

A visual dashboard is available for managing tasks and memory. On first interaction with tasks:

1. Check if dashboard.html exists in the current working directory
2. If not, copy it from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/dashboard.html to the current working directory
3. Inform the user: "I've added the dashboard. Run /productivity:start to set up the full system."

The task board:

• Reads and writes to the same TASKS.md file
• Auto-saves changes
• Watches for external changes (syncs when you edit via CLI)
• Supports drag-and-drop reordering of tasks and sections

Format & Template

When creating a new TASKS.md, use this exact template (without example tasks):

# Tasks

## Active

## Waiting On

## Someday

## Done

Task format:

• - [ ] **Task title** - context, for whom, due date
• Sub-bullets for additional details
• Completed: - [x] ~~Task~~ (date)

How to Interact

When user asks "what's on my plate" / "my tasks":

• Read TASKS.md
• Summarize Active and Waiting On sections
• Highlight anything overdue or urgent

When user says "add a task" / "remind me to":

• Add to Active section with - [ ] **Task** format
• Include context if provided (who it's for, due date)

When user says "done with X" / "finished X":

• Find the task
• Change [ ] to [x]
• Add strikethrough: ~~task~~
• Add completion date
• Move to Done section

When user asks "what am I waiting on":

• Read the Waiting On section
• Note how long each item has been waiting

Conventions

• Bold the task title for scannability
• Include "for [person]" when it's a commitment to someone
• Include "due [date]" for deadlines
• Include "since [date]" for waiting items
• Sub-bullets for additional context
• Keep Done section for ~1 week, then clear old items
