task-status-sync

Task status desynchronization occurs when manual edits bypass coordination logic. This Skill enforces atomic task status synchronization by routing all updates through task-tracker commands, ensuring tasks.md and NOTES.md stay in sync regardless of whether changes originate from direct file edits, verbal progress mentions, or progression events.

Yes. This Skill detects manual edits and writes to target files, extracts task IDs and intended status, validates transitions, and automatically converts edits into task-tracker commands like mark-done-with-notes, mark-in-progress, mark-failed, and sync-status for atomic execution.

The Skill handles task completion with notes, progression to in-progress status, failure reports, and general status synchronization. It intercepts direct file edits, note additions, and verbal status mentions, converting each into the appropriate task-tracker command.

Atomic updates mean all task state changes execute as a single indivisible operation. The Skill validates state transitions before execution, preventing partial or conflicting updates, then applies the command atomically and provides feedback on the result.

The Skill detects the manual edit, extracts the task ID and new status, validates whether the transition is allowed, then converts it into the corresponding task-tracker command and executes it atomically to maintain synchronization.
