# OpenCLI Agent Pack: Taskwarrior

Use this when an AI agent needs to work with `task`.

## What this CLI is for
Task management, todo lists, and personal planning from the terminal. Built by Gothenburg Bit Factory. Runs entirely on your machine.

Best for: task management, todo lists, and personal planning from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Usable with guardrails (45/100)
- Supports non-interactive/scripted use.
- Can run locally with less credential exposure.

## Install
```sh
brew install task
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
task --version
```
Expected signal: task responds locally and is ready for the first real command.

## Safe starting commands
```sh
task --version
```

```sh
task add "Review proposal"
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Prefer small commands and ask the agent to summarize plain text output.
- Network access is required; avoid leaking secrets in logs.
- Start read-only, then ask before mutations.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use Taskwarrior (`task`) for task management, todo lists, and personal planning from the terminal.. First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.
