SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a reliable, read-only way to enumerate and inspect project tasks from Volon's configured storage backend, avoiding manual file scanning and inconsistent ad-hoc queries.

Core Features & Use Cases

Backend-aware listing: Supports both markdown file storage and Nanite vault searches by reading volon.yaml configuration.
Flexible filtering: Filter results by status, tag, priority, project, and context and apply deterministic sorting by priority and creation date.
Safe, read-only operation: Parses task frontmatter or Nanite search results, emits warnings for malformed files, and never modifies task data.
Use Case: Quickly generate a prioritized view of outstanding A-priority tasks in the "api" project to inform sprint planning.

Quick Start

Use the task-list skill to list all todo tasks tagged backend and show priority and tags.

FAQPage Schema

How do I list project tasks filtered by status and priority from a markdown repository?▼

The skill lists project tasks by reading volon.yaml for backend configuration, then enumerates items from markdown frontmatter or a Nanite vault. You can filter by status, priority, tag, project, and context, and receive a markdown table sorted by priority and creation date without modifying any data.

What is the best way to enumerate high-priority todo tasks for sprint planning?▼

The best way to enumerate high-priority todo tasks is using the skill's status and priority filters. It retrieves tasks from your configured backend, sorts them deterministically by priority and creation date, and outputs a markdown table ideal for sprint planning reviews.

Does task listing work with a Nanite vault and flat markdown files?▼

Yes, task listing supports both flat markdown files and Nanite vaults by reading volon.yaml for backend settings. It automatically parses task frontmatter from markdown or queries Nanite search results depending on your configured storage backend.

Can I filter tasks by project and context without modifying the task data?▼

Yes, you can filter tasks by project and context without modifying data. The skill performs a strictly read-only operation, parsing task frontmatter or Nanite search results, emitting warnings for malformed files, and outputting a markdown table without writing any changes.

Why are my task list results showing warnings for malformed markdown files?▼

Warnings for malformed markdown files appear during task listing when the parser encounters invalid task frontmatter. The skill emits warnings to alert you of formatting issues while continuing to safely parse valid tasks and output the sorted markdown table.
