  • Current Focus & Next Task: Updates the next task to work on based on plan dependencies and priorities.
  • Cloud sync (optional): If cloud credentials are configured, automatically syncs updates via a PATCH API to the cloud.
  • Offline fallback: Queues changes when offline and processes them when back online.

How does project progress recalculation work when updating tasks in markdown?

Project progress recalculation automatically recomputes total tasks, completion percentages, and per-phase progress when you update task statuses in PROJECT_PLAN.md. It also updates the Current Focus to identify the next task based on plan dependencies and priorities.

Can I sync markdown project plan updates to a cloud service?

What happens to project task updates when working offline?

When working offline, project task updates are queued locally and processed automatically when the connection is restored. This offline fallback ensures that no task status changes or progress recalculations are lost during network interruptions.

Do I need a specific file format to track project tasks and progress?

Yes, you need a locally accessible PROJECT_PLAN.md file to track project tasks and progress. This markdown file serves as the central source for updating task statuses, recalculating phase progress, and managing the Current Focus.

How do I find the next task to work on in a markdown project plan?

You can find the next task to work on by checking the Current Focus section in PROJECT_PLAN.md. It automatically updates based on plan dependencies and priorities after you mark previous tasks as done or blocked.
