  • Run tasks.py list to debug

Date parsing issues

  • Due dates support: ASAP, YYYY-MM-DD, Before Mar 15, Before product launch

Overview

Task Tracker is a personal task management skill that surfaces priorities during daily standups and weekly reviews. It tracks work items, supports adding and completing tasks, and can extract action items from meeting notes to keep blockers and deadlines visible.

How This Skill Works

Tasks are stored in TASKS.md as the active source of truth, organized by priority and status. You interact with commands like list, add, done, blockers, and extract_tasks, while standups and weekly reviews summarize today’s priorities and last week’s progress. Completed tasks are archived in quarterly files such as ARCHIVE-2026-Q1.md.

When to Use It

  • When the user asks for a daily standup or what's on their plate
  • When the user asks for a weekly review or last week's progress
  • When the user wants to add, update, or complete a task
  • When the user asks about blockers or deadlines
  • When the user shares meeting notes and wants tasks extracted
  • When the user asks what's due this week

Quick Start

  1. Step 1: List tasks with python3 ~/clawd/skills/task-tracker/scripts/tasks.py list
  2. Step 2: Run daily standup with python3 ~/clawd/skills/task-tracker/scripts/standup.py
  3. Step 3: Run weekly review with python3 ~/clawd/skills/task-tracker/scripts/weekly_review.py

Best Practices

  • Keep tasks granular with a clear title and optional details (priority, due date, blockers).
  • Use the due field to enable filters like today and this-week (tasks.py list --due today or --due this-week).
  • Run daily standups and weekly reviews regularly to surface priorities and archive completed work.
  • Use the blockers view to surface dependencies and assign owners (via --owner or meeting notes).
  • Maintain TASKS.md as the single source of truth and rely on ARCHIVE-2026-Q1.md for completed items.

Example Use Cases

  • View today's top priority and blockers in a daily standup.
  • Add a new high-priority task with a due date, e.g., Draft proposal due soon.
  • Mark a completed task, then review ARCHIVE-2026-Q1.md to confirm archiving.
  • Extract action items from a meeting note: create tasks for Discuss Q1 planning and Sarah to own budget review.
  • Check what's due this week with list --due this-week to plan sprint priorities.
