Manage and track tasks and projects persistently with priorities, completion status, filtering, and secure markdown export across sessions.
Manage and track tasks and projects persistently with priorities, completion status, filtering, and secure markdown export across sessions.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
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.
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.
Manage tasks and projects across sessions with persistent tracking.
task_runner.py add "<description>" [project] [priority]
task_runner.py list
task_runner.py list "<project>"
task_runner.py complete <task_id>
task_runner.py priority <task_id> <low|medium|high>
task_runner.py export "<project>" "<output_file>"
Persistent storage - Tasks survive session restarts (stored in ~/.openclaw/workspace/tasks_db.json) Project organization - Group tasks by project for better organization Priority levels - low, medium (default), high Status tracking - pending vs completed with timestamps Flexible filtering - View all tasks or filter by project Markdown export - Export projects to clean markdown for sharing
The export function validates output paths to prevent malicious writes: ✅ Allowed: ~/.openclaw/workspace/, /tmp/, and home directory ❌ Blocked: System paths (/etc/, /usr/, /var/, etc.) ❌ Blocked: Sensitive dotfiles (~/.bashrc, ~/.ssh, etc.) This prevents prompt injection attacks that could attempt to write to system files for privilege escalation.
The task storage is JSON-based and only writes to ~/.openclaw/workspace/tasks_db.json.

Task listing shows: Status icon (✅ completed, ⏳ pending) Project name Task ID number Priority emoji Creation date Task description Completion date (if completed)
Markdown export includes: Project title with task counts Pending tasks section Completed tasks section (most recent first) Task IDs, priorities, and timestamps

Use meaningful project names - income-experiments not ideas Set priorities consistently - helps with focus Mark tasks complete promptly - keeps list clean Export before major changes - backup progress Review and clean up - archive old projects regularly
Combine with research-assistant for complete project management: Use research-assistant for notes and knowledge Use task-runner for actionable tasks Export both to create comprehensive project docs
Long-tail utilities that do not fit the current primary taxonomy cleanly.
Largest current source with strong distribution and engagement signals.
