mentat-tasks

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a local markdown task store with atomic claim and TTL refresh, eliminating the need for servers, databases, or binaries. It simplifies task management with atomic claim, TTL refresh, and HITL/AFK doctrine.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Local Markdown Task Store: Backed by POSIX atomics, each task is a file, each claim is a lock sentinel.
• Atomic Claim and TTL Refresh: Ensure exclusive task access with atomic lock and manage claim duration with TTL.
• HITL/AFK Doctrine: Classify tasks as HITL or AFK for better organization and workflow.
• Use Case: Ideal for managing tasks in parallel worktrees and devcontainers with isolated tooling.

Quick Start

Use the mentat-tasks create command to create a new task and add it to the task store.
