How do I manage agile epics and tasks from the command line?

What is the best way to track task readiness across an epic?

Tracking task readiness across an epic involves querying your backlog with a ready command to filter tasks prepared for execution. This identifies tasks marked ready within a specified epic, ensuring quick collaboration and reducing context drift.

Do I need to install any external dependencies to use flowctl?

How do I list all tasks and epics in my current project?

To list all tasks and epics, execute the dedicated list commands for each entity type. Running these commands returns structured JSON output detailing all tracked items within your current project's workflow directory.

Can I view the details of a single task within a larger epic?

Yes, you can view a single task within a larger epic by passing the specific task identifier to the show command. This displays the individual task details alongside its parent epic context using structured JSON output.
