FAQPage Schema
How do I update task status between in_progress, complete, and blocked states?▼

Task lifecycle uses CLI commands to move tasks through states. Use `bpsai-pair task update TASK-XXX --status in_progress` to start and `bpsai-pair ttask done` to complete, which automatically triggers hooks for timers, Trello sync, and state validation across your project files.

Can I manage task states without connecting to Trello?▼

Yes. The Skill supports both Trello-connected and non-Trello projects with identical CLI-driven state transitions. Tasks update in local files regardless of Trello connection, with hooks executing automatically when Trello is integrated.

What happens automatically when I change a task's status?▼

Status changes trigger automatic hooks including timers, Trello card synchronization, and internal state updates. The Skill enforces acceptance criteria validation before marking tasks complete to maintain workflow consistency.

Do I need acceptance criteria before completing a task?▼

Yes. Task completion requires acceptance criteria validation. The Skill enforces this check before allowing status transitions to complete, ensuring quality gates are met before marking work done.

How does task state sync between local files and Trello?▼

When Trello is connected, status changes via CLI commands automatically synchronize task state to corresponding Trello cards, keeping both systems consistent. Non-Trello projects update only local task files.
