Daily Task Manager

Contract

This skill guarantees:

• Tasks stored as a brain page (ops/tasks.md) with structured format
• Task lifecycle: add → in-progress → complete | defer
• Priority levels: P0 (urgent), P1 (today), P2 (this week), P3 (backlog)
• Completed tasks archived with completion date
• Deferred tasks carry forward with reason

Phases

1. Load current tasks. gbrain get ops/tasks — read the task list.
2. Execute the requested action:
   • Add: Append task with priority, description, due date. Add timeline entry.
   • Complete: Mark as done, move to completed section with date.
   • Defer: Move to next day/week with reason.
   • Remove: Delete from list (rare, prefer complete or defer).
   • Review: Display all active tasks by priority.
3. Save. gbrain put ops/tasks — write updated task list.

Output Format

# Tasks

## P0 — Urgent
- [ ] {task description} (due: {date})

## P1 — Today
- [ ] {task description}

## P2 — This Week
- [ ] {task description}

## P3 — Backlog
- [ ] {task description}

## Completed
- [x] {task} (completed: {date})

Anti-Patterns

• Adding tasks without a priority level
• Completing tasks without recording the completion date
• Deferring tasks without a reason
• Letting the task list grow unbounded (review weekly)
• Storing tasks outside the brain (they should be searchable)
