SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Over time the Claude Code task panel accumulates finished tasks that clutter the interface and make it harder to focus on active work. This Skill clears out completed tasks in one step so the panel only shows what still matters. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Bulk cleanup of completed tasks: Lists all tasks via TaskList and marks every task with status completed as deleted through TaskUpdate. - Safe scope: Only completed tasks are removed; pending and in_progress tasks remain untouched. - Clear reporting: Reports how many tasks were cleared after the operation finishes. - Use Case: After finishing a long implementation session with dozens of tracked tasks, run the skill to reset the panel before starting the next piece of work. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to clean the task panel by invoking /clean-task-panel to remove all completed tasks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I clear completed tasks from the Claude Code task panel?

Invoke the /clean-task-panel command in Claude Code. It calls TaskList to find every task with completed status, then uses TaskUpdate to mark each one as deleted and reports how many were cleared.

Does cleaning the task panel delete pending or in-progress tasks?

No, only tasks with completed status are removed. Pending and in_progress tasks are explicitly left untouched, so active work tracking is never affected by the cleanup.

Is task deletion in the Claude Code task panel reversible?

No, deletion is permanent in the task database. Only run the cleanup when completed tasks are no longer needed for reference, since they cannot be recovered afterward.

What tools are required to clean the Claude Code task panel?

The skill requires the Claude Code task-panel tools, specifically TaskList to retrieve all tasks and TaskUpdate to set completed tasks to deleted status. It does not work in hosts without these tools.
