Task management for AI agents across context windows. Use when agents need to track work, log progress, hand off state, and maintain context across sessions. Includes workflows for single-issue focus, multi-issue work sessions, and structured handoffs. Essential for AI-assisted development where context windows reset between sessions.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# td - Task Management for AI Agents

## Overview

`td` is a minimalist CLI for tracking tasks and maintaining agent memory across context windows. When your AI session ends, `td` captures what was done, what remains, and what decisions were made—so the next session picks up exactly where the last one left off.

**Core capability:** Run `td usage` and get everything needed for the next action—current focus, pending reviews, open issues, recent decisions.

## Quick Start

### Starting a New Agent Context

```bash
td usage --new-session -q  # Auto-rotate and show compact current state
```

Use `td usage` without `-q` when workflow guidance would be useful. Status
output includes:
- Active work sessions and recent decisions
- What issues are pending review (you can review these)
- Highest priority open issues
- Recent handoffs from previous sessions

### Single-Issue Workflow

For focused work on one issue:

```bash
td start <issue-id>                    # Begin work
td log "OAuth callback implemented"    # Track progress
td log --decision "Using JWT tokens"   # Log decisions
td handoff <id> --done "..." --remaining "..."  # Capture state
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add marcus/td/td-task-management@sha256:693b2bc4e8774e05

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260731.88fb473, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
