Simple task management using a shared TASKS.md file. Reference this when the user asks about their tasks, wants to add/complete tasks, or needs help tracking commitments.

Task Management

Tasks are tracked in a simple TASKS.md file that both you and the user can edit.

File Location

Always use TASKS.md in the current working directory.

If it exists, read/write to it
If it doesn't exist, create it with the template below

Dashboard Setup (First Run)

A visual dashboard is available for managing tasks and memory. On first interaction with tasks:

Check if dashboard.html exists in the current working directory
If not, copy it from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/dashboard.html to the current working directory
Inform the user: "I've added the dashboard. Run /productivity:start to set up the full system."

The task board:

Reads and writes to the same TASKS.md file
Auto-saves changes
Watches for external changes (syncs when you edit via CLI)
Supports drag-and-drop reordering of tasks and sections

Format & Template

When creating a new TASKS.md, use this exact template (without example tasks):

# 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's for, due date)

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

Find the task
Change [ ] to [x]
Add strikethrough: ~~task~~
Add 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

Conventions

Bold the task title for scannability
Include "for [person]" when it's a commitment to someone
Include "due [date]" for deadlines
Include "since [date]" for waiting items
Sub-bullets for additional context
Keep Done section for ~1 week, then clear old items

Extracting Tasks

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 - don't auto-add without confirmation.
