SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manages Hyper tasks outside the execution workflow. Lists active tasks, creates a deferred task, parks an active task back into phase: deferred, cancels an in-progress task with a reason, or shows the status of a specific task. Use when the user asks "what tasks do I have", "list my tasks", "show status of T<N>", "defer T<N>", "cancel T<N>", or "create a task for later". Do not use for starting or continuing work — that's the hyper skill. Keywords: hyper, task, list, status, defer, cancel, create, manage, deferred.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • List active tasks under .hyper/tasks/
  • Create a deferred task for later with phase: deferred
  • Defer an active task back to phase: deferred
  • Cancel a task with a provided reason and archive it
  • Show status for a given T<N> and inspect task artifacts

Quick Start

Create a deferred task by providing a title, e.g., 'Migrate to v2'.

Frequently Asked Questions about hyper-task

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I list active tasks and check task status in a Hyper workflow?▼

To list active tasks, the system reads the .hyper/tasks/ directory and displays task artifacts. You can query specific tasks using identifiers like T<N> to inspect their current execution phase and history.

Can I defer an active task to postpone work without losing history?▼

Yes, you can defer an active task. This action parks the task back into a deferred phase, postponing execution while preserving the task history and artifacts within the .hyper directory structure.

What is the best way to cancel an in-progress task and archive it?▼

The best way to cancel an in-progress task is to trigger the cancellation command with a provided reason. This terminates the task, records the reason, and archives the task data for future reference.

Do I need a specific directory structure to manage deferred tasks?▼

Yes, managing deferred tasks requires the Hyper task data model and a bootstrapped .hyper/ directory structure. This environment provides the necessary file structure to track, defer, and cancel tasks while preserving history.

How do I create a task for later execution instead of starting it now?▼

You can create a task for later by providing a title, which generates a new task directly in the deferred phase. This allows scheduling future work without triggering immediate execution.

When should I not use task management commands for my workflow?▼

You should not use these task management commands for starting or continuing work. These commands are strictly for visibility, deferral, or termination of tasks, relying on a separate execution skill for active work.
