## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### task-father

Create and manage durable, file-based task state machines under the OpenClaw workspace.

Target filesystem shape:

TASK_REGISTRY.md (global index)
tasks/<task_slug>/

TASK.md (front matter + purpose/decisions/blockers/changelog + capabilities)
TODOS.md (checklist)
scripts/
crons/
artifacts/
optional queue-state files (queue.jsonl, done.jsonl, failed.jsonl, lock.json)

### Prerequisites

Run on host where OpenClaw is running:

python3 --version
openclaw status
openclaw cron --help

### Configuration (portable)

Skill-local config files:

Example (shareable): config.env.example
Real machine config: config.env

Keys:

WORKSPACE_DIR (default: /home/miles/.openclaw/workspace)
TASKS_DIR (default: tasks)
REGISTRY_FILE (default: TASK_REGISTRY.md)
DEFAULT_AGENT_ID (default: main)
DEFAULT_CRON_TZ (default: America/Indianapolis)

### Preferred (chat-first)

Answer in chat:

task slug (filesystem-safe)
task title
task purpose
optional skills/plugins/tools expected for this task
whether queue files are needed
whether a cron job should be created now

Then run:

python3 scripts/task_father.py init <slug> --title "..." --purpose "..." --skills "a,b" --plugins "x,y" --tools "read,write,exec"
optional queue mode:

python3 scripts/task_father.py enable-queue <slug>


optional cron setup:

python3 scripts/task_father.py cron-add <slug> --cron "*/10 * * * *" --message "<worker prompt>" --name "task-<slug>"

### Optional (terminal)

cp config.env.example config.env
Edit config.env
Initialize task:

python3 scripts/task_father.py init <slug> --title "..."

### Lifecycle commands

Set task status (updates state.json + changelog):

python3 scripts/task_father.py set-state <slug> active


Append changelog entry:

python3 scripts/task_father.py log <slug> "blocked by API quota"


Enable queue files:

python3 scripts/task_father.py enable-queue <slug>


Add cron:

python3 scripts/task_father.py cron-add <slug> --cron "*/5 * * * *" --message "..." --name "task-<slug>"


Remove cron:

python3 scripts/task_father.py cron-rm <slug> --name "task-<slug>"

### Task documentation contract

Each task must contain:

TASK.md with front matter and sections:

Purpose
Important Decisions
Blockers
Capabilities (skills/plugins/tools)
Change Log (timestamp + short description)

TODOS.md with checklist items.


If queue-style long processing is used:

queue.jsonl, done.jsonl, failed.jsonl, lock.json.

Scripts under:

<task_folder>/scripts/

Cron files under:

<task_folder>/crons/

### Reproducibility notes

Keep machine-specific values in config.env, not in SKILL.md.
Keep logs append-only where possible.
Use small resumable batches for long work.
