SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Synchronizes task status as work progresses across multiple workers, enforcing the staged workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Section Movements: Backlog → Worker1/2/3 → Review, with 1:1 task propagation.
  • Preserve Metadata: Maintain tags, priority, and deadlines.
  • Safety Rules: AI cannot move to Done or Backlog; only user/reviewer can.

Quick Start

Move a task from a Worker to Review after completion; ensure 2-space indentation in subtasks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I sync task status across multiple workers in a shared Task.md file?

Task-mover syncs task status by automatically moving tasks between sections—Backlog, Worker1, Worker2, Worker3, Review, and Done—as work progresses. Tasks move to a Worker section when assignment begins and to Review upon completion, maintaining metadata like priority tags and deadlines throughout.

What workflow does task-mover enforce for parallel work across three agents?

Task-mover enforces a staged workflow: tasks flow from Backlog to an assigned Worker section, then to Review, and finally to Done. AI agents can only move tasks to Worker or Review sections; only users or reviewers can move tasks to Done or back to Backlog, preventing accidental status changes.

Can task-mover preserve task metadata like priority tags and deadlines when moving tasks?

Yes, task-mover preserves all metadata—priority tags, deadlines, and other properties—during section movements. It maintains exact markdown format, section order, and two-space indentation for subtasks, preventing data loss or formatting corruption across worker transitions.

What constraints should I know before using task-mover in a multi-worker setup?

Tasks must be properly segmented before AI moves them to Worker sections. AI cannot move tasks directly to Done or Backlog sections. Task-mover prevents duplicates and cross-section conflicts, and requires strict adherence to the Task.md format with correct section structure.

How does task-mover prevent duplicate tasks or conflicts when moving between sections?

Task-mover enforces 1:1 task propagation with strict format validation, preventing duplicates and cross-section issues. Each task moves as a single unit between sections with all metadata intact, eliminating the risk of tasks appearing in multiple sections simultaneously.
