### Description (declared)

# Tasker

[![tests](https://github.com/greendwin/mcp-tasker/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/greendwin/mcp-tasker/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

A Markdown task tracker designed to live in git alongside your code. Tasks are plain Markdown files inside a `.tasker/` directory, with hierarchical stories and subtasks, a CLI for humans, and an MCP server so AI agents can manage the same task list.

## Installation

Install with [pipx](https://pipx.pypa.io/) (recommended — installs in an isolated environment):

```bash
pipx install mcp-tasker
```

Or with pip:

```bash
pip install mcp-tasker
```

For development (requires [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/)):

```bash
git clone https://github.com/greendwin/mcp-tasker.git
cd mcp-tasker
uv sync --group dev
```

## Quick Start

```bash
# Initialize tasker (or let it auto-detect from any subdirectory)
tasker init

# Or initialize a user-level tasker in your home data directory
tasker init --user

# Create a story
tasker new "Build authentication"

# Add subtasks
tasker add s01 "Design login flow"
tasker add s01 "Implement JWT tokens" --details "Use RS256 signing"

# Work on a task
tasker start s01t01

# View what's on your plate
tasker list

# Mark tasks done
tasker done s01t01

# Edit a task in your editor
tasker edit s01t02
```

Tasks are stored as Markdown in `.tasker/` and committed with your code:

```
.tasker/
  s01-build-authentication/
    README.md
    s01t01-design-login-flow.md
    s01t02-implement-jwt-tokens.md
```

## Usage

### Create tasks

```bash
tasker new <title>                          # new root story
tasker new <title> --details "..." --slug <slug>  # with description and slug
tasker new <title> --editor                 # create and open in editor
tasker add <parent-id> <title>              # inline subtask
tasker add <parent-id> <title> --details "..."    # subtask with description
tasker add <parent-id> <title> --editor     # create and open in editor
