--- name: ito-tasks description: Use Ito tasks CLI to manage tasks.md (status/next/start/complete/shelve/add). --- Use the `ito tasks` CLI to track and update implementation tasks for a change. **Rules** - Prefer `ito tasks ...` over manual editing of `tasks.md`. - Enhanced tasks.md supports `start`, `shelve`, `unshelve`, and `add`. - Checkbox-only tasks.md is supported in compat mode (supports in-progress via `[~]` / `ito tasks start`, but no shelving); start/complete tasks by 1-based index. **Common Commands** ```bash ito tasks status ito tasks next ito tasks ready # Show ready tasks across ALL changes ito tasks ready # Show ready tasks for a specific change ito tasks ready --json # JSON output for automation ito tasks start

ito tasks unshelve

ito tasks add "" --wave ito tasks show ``` **If tasks.md is missing** - Create enhanced tracking file: `ito tasks init ` **If the user asks "what should I do next?"** - If working on a specific change: Run `ito tasks next ` - If looking for any ready work: Run `ito tasks ready` to see all actionable tasks - Follow the printed Action/Verify/Done When for the chosen task. **Guardrails** - If a task is blocked, run `ito tasks status ` and either resolve blockers or shelve the task (enhanced only). - If `ito tasks shelve` fails because the file is checkbox-only, explain that checkbox compat mode does not support shelving. - If `ito tasks start` fails in compat mode, it is usually because the task id is not a 1-based index, or another task is already in-progress.
