• "Исправить ошибку авторизации"
• "Реализовать экспорт в PDF"
• "Обновить зависимости проекта"

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

Markdown formatting (headers, lists, code blocks) is fully supported.

Start Working on Task

IMPORTANT: When starting work on a task, ALWAYS:

1. Get current git branch: git branch --show-current
2. 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.

Status Values

• hold - Blocked/on hold
• todo - Not started
• work - In progress
• done - Completed
• approved - Reviewed and approved

Module Field

Use module to categorize tasks by area/component:

• auth - Authentication/authorization
• api - API endpoints
• ui - User interface
• db - Database
• Custom names as needed
