Task Parsing
Convert natural language into structured task format.
Task Format
- [ ] Task description @project #tag !priority ~estimate
Parsing Rules
Priority Detection
| Input Pattern | Priority |
|---|---|
| "urgent", "ASAP", "critical", "blocking" | !high |
| "important", "should", "need to" | !medium |
| "when possible", "eventually", "nice to have" | !low |
Time Estimation
| Input Pattern | Estimate |
|---|---|
| "quick", "small", "minor" | ~15m |
| "short", "simple" | ~30m |
| "medium", "regular" | ~1h |
| "large", "significant" | ~2h |
| "big", "complex", "deep work" | ~4h |
Due Date Extraction
| Input Pattern | Action |
|---|---|
| "today", "EOD" | Add to today.md |
| "tomorrow" | Add to today.md with note |
| "this week", "by Friday" | Add to backlog, Do First |
| "next week", "soon" | Add to backlog, Schedule |
| "someday", "eventually" | Add to someday.md |
Project Detection
- Look for explicit
@project-namementions - Infer from context: "for the API project" →
@api - Work-related defaults to
@work - Personal items get
#personaltag
Tag Extraction
Common tags to apply:
#code- Programming tasks#docs- Documentation#meeting- Meetings and calls#research- Research and learning#bug- Bug fixes#feature- New features#review- Code/document reviews
Examples
Input: "Review John's PR for the auth feature, it's blocking the release"
Output: - [ ] Review John's PR for auth feature @work #review #code !high ~30m
Input: "Eventually learn Kubernetes"
Output: - [ ] Learn Kubernetes #learning !low ~4h → someday.md
Input: "Need to fix the login bug today"
Output: - [ ] Fix login bug @work #bug !high ~1h → today.md
Processing Steps
- Extract the core action (verb + object)
- Detect priority from urgency words
- Estimate time from complexity hints
- Extract or infer project
- Add relevant tags
- Determine destination file
- Format as markdown checkbox
