Atlas task management — add, update, move, and query tasks across backlog, sprint, done, and blocked lists. Use when adding tasks, changing status, moving tasks between lists, or querying what's open/blocked/done.

Task Manager — Atlas

Manage all tasks in the flat-file system: backlog, sprint, done, blocked.

Task Format

Every task line in memory files uses this format:

- [ ] [P1] Task title | deadline: YYYY-MM-DD | owner: solo
- [x] [P2] Completed task | deadline: YYYY-MM-DD | owner: solo
- [~] [P1] Blocked task | deadline: YYYY-MM-DD | owner: solo | blocker: waiting on API keys

Status codes: [ ] = todo, [>] = in-progress, [x] = done, [~] = blocked

Commands

Add Task

"Add task: [description]"

Ask for priority if not obvious: P1 (must this sprint), P2 (should this sprint), P3 (nice to have)
Ask for deadline if not obvious
Append to memory/backlog.md
Confirm: "Added to backlog: [title] | [priority] | [deadline]"

Update Task Status

"Mark [task] as done/blocked/in-progress"

Find the task in sprint.md or backlog.md
Update status marker
If done: move to memory/done.md with completion date
If blocked: move to memory/blocked.md, add blocker reason
Confirm the change

Move Task to Sprint

"Move [task] to sprint"

Verify sprint has fewer than 7 tasks — if 7+, refuse and ask what to remove
Move task from backlog.md to sprint.md
Confirm: "Sprint now has [N] tasks."

Move Task to Backlog

"Move [task] to backlog" / "Descope [task]"

Move from sprint.md to backlog.md
Log reason in task note
Update sprint count

Query Tasks

"What's in the sprint?" → read memory/sprint.md, format as numbered list
"What's blocked?" → read memory/blocked.md, show blocker reasons
"What's in backlog?" → read memory/backlog.md, show P1s first
"What shipped?" → read memory/done.md, show this week's entries

Rules Atlas Enforces

Sprint cap: 7 tasks max. Refuse task 8 — ask what to remove.
No orphan tasks: every task must have priority and deadline.
Blocked ≠ forgotten: blocked tasks stay visible, not hidden in backlog.
Done is done: no "95% done" — either done or not.
Stale detection: if a task has been in-progress for 48h+ without update, flag it.
