Workflows
View Tasks
tasks() # List all projects
tasks("my-project") # List tasks in project
tasks("my-project", 1) # Get full task #1 details
Create Task
create_task(
project="my-project",
description="Add user authentication",
body="Requirements here...",
plan="Implementation plan..."
)
Update Task
update_task(
project="my-project",
number=1,
status="work", # hold, todo, work, done, approved
module="auth", # area/module name
started="2024-01-15 10:30",
branch="feature/task-1",
body="Updated description",
plan="Updated plan",
report="Work completed",
review="LGTM",
blocks="Waiting for API spec",
depends_on=[2, 3]
)
Multiline Text
Use real line breaks for multiline content in body, plan, report, review, blocks:
update_task(
project="my-project",
number=1,
plan="""## Steps
1. First step
2. Second step
## Notes
Additional details here."""
)
Markdown formatting (headers, lists, code blocks) is fully supported.
Start Working on Task
IMPORTANT: When starting work on a task, ALWAYS:
- Get current git branch:
git branch --show-current - Update task with branch name and status:
update_task(
project="my-project",
number=1,
status="work",
started="YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM",
branch="<current-git-branch>"
)
This ensures the task is linked to the correct git branch for tracking.
Work with Attachments
# List attachments (returns paths)
list_attachments("my-project", 1)
# Returns: [{"name": "screenshot.png", "path": "/full/path/...", "size": 1234}, ...]
# Add attachment (copy file to task folder)
add_attachment("my-project", 1, "/path/to/file.png")
add_attachment("my-project", 1, "/path/to/file.png", "renamed.png")
# Read attachment content (use Claude's Read tool)
Read("/full/path/from/list_attachments/screenshot.png")
# Delete attachment
delete_attachment("my-project", 1, "screenshot.png")
