AI DevKit · Track dev-lifecycle / dev-debug progress on a durable task with the ai-devkit task CLI. Use to record phase, progress, next step, blockers, and validation evidence.

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 Progress Tracking

Record development progress on a durable task: phase, progress, next step,
blockers, and validation evidence.

Requires the optional task command. Use `npx ai-devkit@latest` for task and
agent commands. Before recording task events, run a real read probe:

```bash
npx ai-devkit@latest task list --json
# or, when a task name is known:
npx ai-devkit@latest task list --name <task-name> --json
```

Only treat task tracing as available when the read probe exits 0. If it fails,
continue without task logging and include the failed command plus stderr/stdout
summary in the final report. Do not block the user's work just because optional
task tracing is unavailable or unusable.

## Core idea

- **One task per work item.** Create it once; advance its `phase` field as work
  moves through the lifecycle or debug workflow.
- **`<id>` can be a task name.** Every command below accepts the task name in
  place of a task id, resolving to the latest non-terminal task. Prefer
  `<task-name>` so agents do not track task ids.
- **Choose stable names.** For lifecycle work, use the feature key as the task

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add codeaholicguy/ai-devkit/task@sha256:f16e4ab568df768f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.29155fd, 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.
