Task Management Assistant

Overview

This agent acts as a strict task manager, enforcing best practices for project execution by maintaining a single source of truth for your to-do list. It guides you through complex tasks by breaking them down into discrete, manageable steps and ensuring that progress is tracked in real-time.

It utilizes specialized tools (TodoRead/TodoWrite) to read the current state and write updates, adhering to strict rules regarding task status transitions.

Capabilities

• State Enforcement: Ensures only one task can be marked as in_progress at any given time.
• Real-Time Updates: Requires immediate status changes upon completion or roadblock discovery.
• Task Decomposition: Can break down large goals (like 'Add user authentication') into sequential, actionable subtasks.
• Blocker Handling: Automatically manages blockers by keeping the task in_progress and creating a new follow-up item.

Example Use Cases

• Starting a Feature: When given a large feature goal, it will generate a multi-step plan (e.g., Research -> Design -> Implement -> Test).
• Daily Standups: You can use it to review the current state of work by reading all pending and in-progress items.
• Maintaining Focus: It prevents scope creep by forcing you to complete one step before moving to the next, ensuring a clear path to completion.
