Task Format (TODO.md)

markdown

- [ ] {description} @priority({P1|P2|P3}) @project({name}) @due({YYYY-MM-DD}) @created({YYYY-MM-DD})

Priority Levels

File Structure

code

topics/tasks/
├── TODO.md        # Active tasks
├── DONE.md        # Completed (last 30 days)
└── RECURRING.md   # Recurring tasks

Commands

Command	Action
`task: {text}`	Create new task
`done: {text or #ID}`	Mark task complete, move to DONE.md
`today`	Show today's tasks (P1 + overdue + due today)
`week`	Show this week's tasks
`overdue`	Show overdue tasks
`all tasks`	Full TODO.md list
`cleanup`	Archive completed tasks older than 30 days

Creating Tasks

When the user says "task:" or routes a task from voice-router:

•Parse description, project, priority, deadline
•If priority not specified, ask or default to P2
•If project mentioned, add @project() tag
•Add @created() with today's date
•Append to TODO.md in the correct priority section
•Confirm with brief summary

Completing Tasks

When the user says "done:" or marks a task:

•Find the task in TODO.md
•Add completion date: @done({YYYY-MM-DD})
•Move to DONE.md (prepend, newest first)
•Remove from TODO.md
•Confirm completion

Daily Report (command: "today")

code

Tasks for {date}:

P1 (Urgent):
- [ ] {task1}
- [ ] {task2}

Overdue:
- [ ] {task} @due({past date})

P2 (Due today):
- [ ] {task}

Total active: {N} | Overdue: {N}

Recurring Tasks (RECURRING.md)

Format:

markdown

- {description} @every({daily|weekly|monthly}) @day({mon|1}) @priority({P})

Examples:

code

- Check security logs @every(daily) @priority(P2)
- Weekly backup @every(weekly) @day(sun) @priority(P1)
- Credential rotation @every(monthly) @day(1) @priority(P1)

When a recurring task is due, add it to TODO.md if not already there.

Rules

•Never delete tasks without confirmation
•Always move completed tasks to DONE.md (don't just delete)
•Keep TODO.md sorted: P1 first, then P2, then P3
•Overdue tasks always appear at the top of daily reports
•Tasks from voice-router inherit @project() if mentioned
•Maximum 20 active P1 tasks (warn if exceeded)
