What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a robust method for tracking agent execution progress and task status using an external command-line interface (CLI), ensuring backend portability and persistent progress across different agent runtimes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • External Task Tracking: Manages tasks using a dedicated CLI (like bd) instead of internal to-do lists.
  • Backend Portability: Ensures task progress is not tied to a specific agent runtime.
  • Persistent Progress: Maintains task status across agent restarts or migrations.
  • Observer-Friendly Reporting: Facilitates external supervision and status querying.
  • Canonical Task States: Maps tasks to standardized states (todo, in_progress, blocked, done).
  • Spec Lineage Tagging: Integrates with spec artifacts using external references and labels.

Quick Start

Use the external-task-management skill to initialize and validate the 'bd' CLI for task tracking.
