Update Command

If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.

Keep your task list and memory current. Two modes:

• Default: Sync tasks from external tools, triage stale items, check memory for gaps
• --comprehensive: Deep scan chat, email, calendar, docs, flag missed todos and suggest new memories

Usage

/productivity:update
/productivity:update --comprehensive

Default Mode

1. Load Current State

Read TASKS.md and memory/ directory. If they don't exist, suggest /productivity:start first.

2. Sync Tasks from External Sources

Check for available task sources:

• Project tracker (e.g. Asana, Linear, Jira) (if MCP available)
• GitHub Issues (if in a repo): gh issue list --assignee=@me

If no sources are available, skip to Step 3.

Fetch tasks assigned to the user (open/in-progress). Compare against TASKS.md:

External task	TASKS.md match?	Action
Found, not in TASKS.md	No match	Offer to add
Found, already in TASKS.md	Match by title (fuzzy)	Skip
In TASKS.md, not in external	No match	Flag as potentially stale
Completed externally	In Active section	Offer to mark done

Present diff and let user decide what to add/complete.

3. Triage Stale Items

Review Active tasks in TASKS.md and flag:

• Tasks with due dates in the past
• Tasks in Active for 30+ days
• Tasks with no context (no person, no project)

Present each for triage: Mark done? Reschedule? Move to Someday?

4. Decode Tasks for Memory Gaps

For each task, attempt to decode all entities (people, projects, acronyms, tools, links):

Task: "Send PSR to Todd re: Phoenix blockers"

Decode:
- PSR → ✓ Pipeline Status Report (in glossary)
- Todd → ✓ Todd Martinez (in people/)
- Phoenix → ? Not in memory

Track what's fully decoded vs. what has gaps.

5. Fill Gaps
