Autonomously work through the backlog — dispatches /chain for chain heads, /tusk for standalone tasks, repeating until empty
Groom the backlog by closing completed tickets, removing redundant/stale tickets, reprioritizing, and assigning agents
Run an AI code reviewer against the task's git diff, fix must_fix issues, and dismiss or spin off suggestions
Investigate the scope of a problem and form an honest assessment — task creation is optional
Review the current session, surface process improvements and tangential issues, and create follow-up tasks
Audit a directory: (1) Primary — describe its actual purpose from content, structure, and project context; (2) Secondary — assess code quality signals and pillar alignment, including how well it serves its stated values
Analyze skill token consumption and surface optimization opportunities
Fetch a GitHub issue, create a tusk task from it, and work through it with /tusk
Break down freeform text (feature specs, meeting notes, bug reports) into structured tusk tasks with deduplication
Contribute a client-discovered fix or improvement back to the configured iOS library repo from an ios_app tusk project.
File a GitHub issue against the configured iOS lib repo with originating tusk task auto-attached
Execute a dependency chain in parallel waves using background agents
Resume work on a task after a session crash or timeout
Update domains, agents, task types, and other config settings post-install without losing data
Interactive setup wizard to configure tusk for your project — scans codebase, suggests domains/agents, writes config, and optionally seeds tasks from TODOs or project description
Review the current session, surface process improvements and tangential issues, and create follow-up tasks
Read-only DB health audit with interactive recommendations, plus on-demand HTML task dashboard generation
File a GitHub issue against the tusk repo itself — tusk bugs, CLI limitations, skill improvements, or missing features. Use anytime the user identifies a gap in tusk (not in their own project's code).
Get the most important task that is ready to be worked on
Generate and open an HTML task dashboard with per-task metrics
