Manages Dots task tracking with the dot CLI, dependencies, and completion reasons. Use when tracking work items across sessions or coordinating task dependencies.

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

# Task Tracking with Dots

Dots is a lightweight task tracker for managing work across sessions. Use the `dot` CLI to track work items, dependencies, and completion reasons.

## When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to:
- Track work items across sessions
- Manage dependencies between tasks
- Record completion reasons for auditability

## Preflight: ensure dot is installed

Before running any workflow commands, check for the `dot` CLI:

```bash
command -v dot >/dev/null 2>&1
```

If `dot` is not found, install it.

Homebrew:

```bash
brew install joelreymont/tap/dots
```

From source (requires Zig 0.15+):

```bash
git clone https://github.com/joelreymont/dots.git
cd dots
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSmall
cp zig-out/bin/dot ~/.local/bin/
```

Make sure `~/.local/bin` is on your `PATH`, then verify:

```bash
dot --version
```

## Essential Session Workflow

At the start of every session:

```bash
dot ls
dot ready
```

Before starting any task:

```bash
dot on <id>
```

After completing any task:

```bash
dot off <id> -r "What was done"
```

Never leave completed tasks open. Always close with a short reason.

## Creating Dots

```bash
# Quick add
dot "Fix the bug"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add randroids-dojo/skills/task-tracking-dots@sha256:6847714fa5adbd00

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260203.f0a5726, 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.
