SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Tasks are files, not lines. Each task gets its own markdown file with YAML frontmatter, Description, and a dated Log. TASKS.md at the repo root is a thin dashboard pointing to the files. Over years, the tasks/done/ folder accumulates a dated record of exactly what you shipped — the raw material for your CV.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • File-based Task Files: one markdown file per task stored under memory/work/companies/{co}/tasks/ with a clear lifecycle (active/waiting/done) and a structured Log.
  • Dashboard as Memory Ledger: TASKS.md provides a centralized, wiki-linked view to access and navigate all tasks quickly.
  • History and Compliance: The tasks/done/ archive preserves shipped work, enabling CV-ready retrospectives.

Quick Start

Create a new active task file under memory/work/companies/{co}/tasks/active/ with YAML frontmatter and an initial Log entry.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize markdown task files for personal or team workflow tracking?

You organize markdown task files by creating one file per task under memory/work/companies/{co}/tasks/ with YAML frontmatter and a dated log. A central TASKS.md dashboard provides wiki-linked navigation to track all commitments.

What is a file-based task management approach and how does it work?

File-based task management treats each task as an individual markdown file with YAML frontmatter, a description, and a dated log. It works by linking these files from a central TASKS.md dashboard to track active, waiting, and completed work.

Can I use markdown frontmatter to track task history and compliance for my CV?

Yes, markdown frontmatter tracks task history through a structured log within each file. Completed tasks move to a tasks/done/ archive folder, accumulating a dated record of shipped work that serves as raw material for CV retrospectives.

Do I need a specific folder structure to start file-based task management?

You need to create markdown task files under memory/work/companies/{co}/tasks/active/ and maintain a TASKS.md dashboard at the repository root. Optional scripts, references, and assets directories can be added as needed.

What is the best way to manage a task dashboard using markdown files?

The best way is using a central TASKS.md dashboard that provides a wiki-linked view to access and navigate all task files quickly. It acts as a thin memory ledger pointing to individual markdown files rather than storing task content.
