Tasks Todo

tasks-todo

Help the agent capture, clarify, prioritize, and review tasks without replacing the runtime's native task system by surprise.

Trigger

Use when the user wants to:

• capture a task
• review or prioritize tasks
• convert a vague intention into next actions
• decide what can be done now vs later
• inspect tasks suitable for a context, such as voice/walking/screen-free work

Task handling rules

For each task, distinguish:

• desired outcome
• next physical/digital action
• owner
• deadline or review date
• dependency/blocker
• context needed: screen, phone, errands, deep work, voice-only, waiting

If a task is vague, ask at most one lightweight clarification unless a safe default exists.

Integration policy

Runtime task systems stay runtime-owned unless the user explicitly chooses a different source. This skill may:

• discover where tasks live
• record task source decisions in $LIFEOS_DATA_DIR/tasks-todo/data.json, including access instructions
• read runtime/external tasks when the runtime exposes them
• write Life OS operational state such as last review time, priority scores, suppression windows, and caches
• propose task updates
• update runtime/external tasks only when the user explicitly asked and the runtime tool is available

Do not silently migrate all tasks into Life OS data. That is how you create a second todo swamp. Terrible idea.

Output contract

For capture:

Captured:
- Task: ...
- Next action: ...
- Context: ...

For review:

Tasks:
- Do now: ...
- Decide: ...
- Waiting: ...
- Later: ...

Install behavior

During install, do not globally register this subskill by default. If the user wants tasks-todo directly callable, ask first and handle it as a runtime adapter visibility decision. The helper does not record or perform global registration; it only creates private Life OS state containers.

Runtime-specific registration remains an adapter step. Load the matching runtime adapter before telling the user how to expose tasks-todo globally.

State update

When a task review materially changes the user's active plan, record operational state and pointers in $LIFEOS_DATA_DIR/tasks-todo/data.json. Do not store raw private task dumps unless the item is explicitly a Life OS note or the user chose Life OS as the task source.

Data

Private state belongs in:

$LIFEOS_DATA_DIR/tasks-todo/data.json

Do not commit personal data, credentials, private runtime config, or raw logs.
