FAQPage SchemaHow to install dex?โผ
Run `npx skills add dcramer/dex --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all skills in this suite globally.
What is dex used for?โผ
Dex gives your agent persistent task tracking with rich context, so complex multi-session work survives restarts and handoffs. Tasks are stored as git-friendly JSONL files in your project.
How is dex different from built-in task tools?โผ
Built-in task tools are session-only and flat, while dex persists tasks to disk with full descriptions, results, and three-level hierarchies of epics, tasks, and subtasks.
Can dex turn a plan document into tasks?โผ
Yes. The dex-plan skill reads any markdown plan, spec, or roadmap and creates a tracked task, automatically breaking it into subtasks when the plan has clear steps.
Does dex work with GitHub Issues?โผ
Yes. Dex syncs tasks with GitHub Issues and Shortcut, and completing a task with a linked commit automatically closes the issue when merged.
