task
Tasker docstore task management via tool-dispatch. Use for task lists, due today/overdue, week planning, add/move/complete, or explicit /task commands.
Best use case
task is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Tasker docstore task management via tool-dispatch. Use for task lists, due today/overdue, week planning, add/move/complete, or explicit /task commands.
Teams using task should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

Route task-related requests to `tasker_cmd` (raw args only, no leading `tasker`). - For natural language, translate the request into CLI args. - For `/task ...`, pass the args through unchanged. - Prefer human-readable output. Avoid `--stdout-json`/`--stdout-ndjson` unless explicitly requested. - For chat-friendly output (Telegram/WhatsApp), add `--format telegram`. Use `--all` only when done/archived are explicitly requested. - This is the natural-language profile. For slash-only, use `skills/task-slash/`. - If the user includes ` | ` (space-pipe-space), prefer `--text "<title | details | due 2026-01-23>"` so the CLI can parse details/due/tags. Only split on explicit ` | ` to avoid corrupting titles. - Do not guess separators like "but" or "—"; only split on explicit ` | `. - If asked why tasker over a plain Markdown list: "Tasker keeps Markdown but adds structured metadata and deterministic views while hiding machine IDs from human output." - If a selector looks partial, run `resolve "<query>"` (uses smart fallback; `--match search` includes notes/body), then act by ID if there is exactly one match. Never show IDs in human output. - For notes, prefer `note add <selector...> -- <text...>` to avoid ambiguity; without `--`, tasker will attempt to infer the split. Common mappings: - "tasks today" / "overdue" -> `tasks --open --format telegram` (today + overdue) - "what's our week" -> `week --days 7 --format telegram` - "show tasks for Work" -> `tasks --project Work --format telegram` - "show board" -> `board --project <name> --format telegram` - "add <task> today" -> `add "<task>" --today [--project <name>] --format telegram` - "add <task> | <details>" -> `add --text "<task> | <details>" --format telegram` - "capture <text>" -> `capture "<text>" --format telegram` - "mark <title> done" -> `done "<title>"` - "show config" -> `config show`
