SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manages Hyper tasks outside the execution workflow. Lists active tasks, creates a deferred task, parks an active task back into phase: deferred, cancels an in-progress task with a reason, or shows the status of a specific task. Use when the user asks "what tasks do I have", "list my tasks", "show status of T<N>", "defer T<N>", "cancel T<N>", or "create a task for later". Do not use for starting or continuing work — that's the hyper skill. Keywords: hyper, task, list, status, defer, cancel, create, manage, deferred.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • List active tasks under .hyper/tasks/
  • Create a deferred task for later with phase: deferred
  • Defer an active task back to phase: deferred
  • Cancel a task with a provided reason and archive it
  • Show status for a given T<N> and inspect task artifacts

Quick Start

Create a deferred task by providing a title, e.g., 'Migrate to v2'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I list active tasks and check task status in a Hyper workflow?

To list active tasks, the system reads the .hyper/tasks/ directory and displays task artifacts. You can query specific tasks using identifiers like T<N> to inspect their current execution phase and history.

Can I defer an active task to postpone work without losing history?

Yes, you can defer an active task. This action parks the task back into a deferred phase, postponing execution while preserving the task history and artifacts within the .hyper directory structure.

What is the best way to cancel an in-progress task and archive it?

The best way to cancel an in-progress task is to trigger the cancellation command with a provided reason. This terminates the task, records the reason, and archives the task data for future reference.

Do I need a specific directory structure to manage deferred tasks?

Yes, managing deferred tasks requires the Hyper task data model and a bootstrapped .hyper/ directory structure. This environment provides the necessary file structure to track, defer, and cancel tasks while preserving history.

How do I create a task for later execution instead of starting it now?

You can create a task for later by providing a title, which generates a new task directly in the deferred phase. This allows scheduling future work without triggering immediate execution.

When should I not use task management commands for my workflow?

You should not use these task management commands for starting or continuing work. These commands are strictly for visibility, deferral, or termination of tasks, relying on a separate execution skill for active work.
