What it does

Simple task management using a shared TASKS.md file. Reference this when the user asks about their tasks, wants to add/complete tasks, or needs help tracking commitments.

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
