How do I track agent tasks using markdown for project planning?

You can track agent tasks by creating markdown checklists in a dedicated tasks/ directory. This approach organizes work into active and planned sections, allowing AI agents to consume project plans and monitor progress.

What is the best way to manage task dependencies for AI agent workflows?

Managing task dependencies for AI agent workflows is done by visually representing blockers and dependencies within markdown task files. This structure helps agents understand execution order and track planned tasks.

How do I set up a project plan that an AI agent can follow and track?

To set up an AI-consumable project plan, initialize a tasks/ directory with markdown checkboxes. This creates structured task lists categorized into active and planned sections that agents can read and update.

Can I record project learnings and decisions alongside markdown task lists?

Yes, you can record project learnings and decisions by maintaining a LEARNINGS.md file. This centralizes collective discoveries and key decisions alongside your markdown task plans for future reference.

Does task-garden require any external dependencies to manage agent tasks?

No, task-garden requires no external dependencies to manage agent tasks. It operates standalone using standard markdown files and scripts to organize workflows and track implementation planning.

When should I use markdown task lists instead of a dedicated project planning tool?
