.tasks — An open format for agent task state

agenttasks.dev Observed source
Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open markdown-based format for tracking AI-agent work inside a code repository, with a command-line reference implementation.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The format separates tool-owned YAML frontmatter from a task body that remains ordinary Markdown, allowing a text editor to participate in the workflow. Directories represent phases, while fields such as status, depends_on, and claimed_by support readiness checks and exclusive claims. The documented tree also includes an archive whose IDs remain reserved and an optional generated _index.md overview.
