FAQPage Schema

How do I automate project setup and configuration for task management?▼

Automating project setup for task management is done by interactively scanning the codebase, suggesting agents and domains, writing config files, and initializing the SQLite database.

Can I seed tasks from TODO and FIXME comments in my codebase?▼

Yes, you can seed tasks from TODO comments. The setup process optionally scans your codebase for TODO and FIXME comments and converts them into actionable tasks during initialization.

How does codebase scanning suggest task management configuration?▼

Codebase scanning suggests configuration by analyzing your project structure and dependencies to recommend relevant task types, domains, and agents for your interactive setup.

Do I need to manually create the database when configuring project tasks?▼

No manual database creation is needed. The setup process automatically writes the tusk/config.json file and initializes the SQLite database for your project.

What is the best way to initialize task management for an existing project?▼

The best way to initialize task management for an existing project is running an interactive setup that analyzes code structure, suggests configurations, and optionally seeds tasks from TODO comments.
