SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Managing tasks across projects can become scattered across notes and messages. This Skill centralizes tasks in a single TASKS.md file to provide a reliable reference and reduce missed commitments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Single source of truth: All tasks live in TASKS.md in the current working directory.
  • Structured workflow: Active, Waiting On, Someday, and Done sections support straightforward task pipelines.
  • Lightweight dashboard bootstrapping: On first interaction, a dashboard can be created to give an at-a-glance view of tasks.

Quick Start

Open the current working directory, ensure TASKS.md exists, and if it doesn't, create it using the template below and start managing tasks immediately.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track team tasks in a local markdown file?

To track team tasks in a local markdown file, this Skill uses a shared TASKS.md file in your working directory to centralize task capture, status updates, and progress reviews for personal and small-team projects.

What is the best way to organize a todo list for small-team collaboration?

Organizing a todo list for small-team collaboration is handled by structuring a TASKS.md file into Active, Waiting On, Someday, and Done sections, providing a single source of truth that reduces missed commitments.

Do I need to install any dependencies to manage tasks locally?

No dependencies are required to manage tasks locally. The Skill operates autonomously by checking for a TASKS.md file in the current working directory and automatically generating a template if the file is missing.

Can I get a dashboard view of my markdown tasks?

Yes, you can get a dashboard view of your markdown tasks. On first interaction, the Skill bootstraps a lightweight dashboard to provide an at-a-glance view of all tasks tracked in your TASKS.md file.

How does a shared TASKS.md file handle everyday task capture?

A shared TASKS.md file handles everyday task capture by acting as a centralized local text file where tasks are logged, categorized, and reviewed, replacing scattered notes and messages across projects.

Are there limitations to using local markdown files for team task management?

Using local markdown files for team task management limits real-time synchronization and remote access, confining task tracking to the current working directory rather than a cloud-based shared environment.
