Task Management

Track tasks, commitments, and follow-ups using a simple TASKS.md file. Helps you stay on top of what needs doing, what you are waiting on, and what is done.

Usage

Ask me about your tasks, add new ones, mark things done, or review what is on your plate.

File Location

Tasks are tracked in TASKS.md in the current working directory. If it does not exist, create it with this template:

# Tasks

## Active

## Waiting On

## Someday

## Done

Task Format

• •- [ ] **Task title** - context, for whom, due date
• •Sub-bullets for additional details
• •Completed: - [x] ~~Task~~ (date)

How to Interact

When user asks "what's on my plate" / "my tasks":

• •Read TASKS.md
• •Summarize Active and Waiting On sections
• •Highlight anything overdue or urgent

When user says "add a task" / "remind me to":

• •Add to Active section with - [ ] **Task** format
• •Include context if provided (who it is for, due date)

When user says "done with X" / "finished X":

• •Find the task
• •Change [ ] to [x], add strikethrough and completion date
• •Move to Done section

When user asks "what am I waiting on":

• •Read the Waiting On section
• •Note how long each item has been waiting

Extracting Tasks from Conversations

When summarizing meetings or conversations, offer to add extracted tasks:

• •Commitments the user made ("I'll send that over")
• •Action items assigned to them
• •Follow-ups mentioned

Ask before adding -- do not auto-add without confirmation.

Conventions

• •Bold the task title for scannability
• •Include "for [person]" when it is a commitment to someone
• •Include "due [date]" for deadlines
• •Include "since [date]" for waiting items
• •Keep Done section for about one week, then clear old items

Example Prompts

• •"What's on my plate?"
• •"Add a task: review PR for the auth module"
• •"I'm done with the quarterly report"
• •"What am I waiting on?"
• •"Extract action items from these meeting notes"
