FAQPage Schema
How do I add a task to my SIMBL backlog from the command line?

Use the `simbl add` command with a title and optional flags for priority and tags. For example: `simbl add 'Implement user authentication' --priority p2 --tags backend,api`. The command creates a new task entry in your backlog file.

What's the correct syntax for managing task tags and priorities in SIMBL?

SIMBL supports priority tags (p1–p3), status tags, project tags, and custom tags. Assign them during task creation with `--tags` or update existing tasks with `simbl update`. Tags are stored as markdown metadata in your task file.

How do I view and list all my tasks in SIMBL?

Run `simbl list` to display all tasks or `simbl show <task-id>` to view a specific task. Both commands read from your backlog file and support filtering by tag, status, or project to narrow results.

Can I manage task dependencies and relationships in SIMBL?

Yes. SIMBL supports relationship tags to define task dependencies. Use `--tags` with relationship syntax during creation or updates to link tasks and track which ones block or depend on others.

What file format does SIMBL use to store tasks?

SIMBL stores tasks in markdown format with embedded metadata for title, priority, status, and tags. Understanding the markdown structure helps you avoid common formatting mistakes and enables manual edits when needed.

Do I need npm or bun installed to use the SIMBL CLI?

Yes. SIMBL requires either npm or bun as a runtime dependency. Install SIMBL through your preferred package manager, then initialize it in your project before running CLI commands.
