name: taskgraph
description: Track and plan work with TaskGraph in a project that has a .taskgraph/ folder. Use when the user asks what to work on next, what's in progress or left to do, to plan or break down work, to add or close a task, or names a task ID like 3 or 3.2.

# TaskGraph

This project tracks its work in TaskGraph. Check that `.taskgraph/` exists in the project root; if it doesn't, this skill doesn't apply.

Start with `taskgraph prime`. It prints the task in progress with its done-when criteria, the next ready tasks, and the workflow rules. Follow those rules; they are the single source for how to work a task.

For what the user asked:

- What next: `taskgraph next`, then `taskgraph show <id>` for its details.
- What's left: `taskgraph list --status=pending` (or `--status=in-progress`, `--tag=<tag>`).
- Plan from a spec: `taskgraph parse-prd <file>`, then `taskgraph expand --id=<id>` for a task too big to do in one go.
- New work: `taskgraph add-task --prompt="<what>"`.
- Start a task: `taskgraph set-status --id=<id> --status=in-progress`.
- Log progress: `taskgraph note <id> "<what you did or decided>"`.
- Finish: check its criteria, then `taskgraph set-status --id=<id> --status=done`.

Change tasks through these commands, not by editing `.taskgraph/tasks/tasks.json`. `taskgraph <command> --help` lists a command's flags.
