FAQPage Schema
How do I track code tasks and view a backlog across a repository?

To track code tasks across a repository, this Skill enumerates all .code-task.md files, parses their frontmatter metadata, and surfaces a consolidated backlog view showing status, created date, and started date for progress monitoring.

How do I filter a code task backlog by status like pending or blocked?

You can filter the code task backlog by status using the filter parameter with values like pending, in_progress, completed, or blocked, allowing you to isolate specific task states for targeted reporting and backlog reviews.

Can I export code tasks from a repository into JSON format?

Yes, you can export repository code tasks into JSON format. The Skill supports multiple output formats including table, JSON, and summary, making it suitable for automated reporting or integrating task data into external systems.

How do I scan multiple directories for code tasks in a project?

You can scan multiple directories by specifying a custom search path using the tasks_dir parameter. This configures the Skill to surface code-task files and workload dependencies from specific project folders rather than the entire repository.

What is the best way to monitor code task progress for reporting?

The best way to monitor code task progress for reporting is by aggregating .code-task.md file metadata to list status, created, started, and completed dates, providing a clear project overview without manual tracking.
