+ * @tintinweb/pi-tasks — A pi extension providing Claude Code-style task tracking and coordination.
+ *
+ * Tools:
+ *   TaskCreate   — Create a structured task
+ *   TaskList     — List all tasks with status
+ *   TaskGet      — Get full task details
+ *   TaskUpdate   — Update task fields, status, dependencies
+ *   TaskOutput   — Get output from a background task process
+ *   TaskStop     — Stop a running background task process
+ *   TaskExecute  — Execute tasks as subagents (requires @tintinweb/pi-subagents)
+ *
+ * Commands:
+ *   /tasks       — Interactive task management menu

+The task tools haven't been used recently. If you're working on tasks that would benefit from tracking progress, consider using TaskCreate to add new tasks and TaskUpdate to update task status (set to in_progress when starting, completed when done). Also consider cleaning up the task list if it has become stale. Only use these if relevant to the current work. This is just a gentle reminder - ignore if not applicable. Make sure that you NEVER mention this reminder to the user

+It also helps the user understand the progress of the task and overall progress of their requests.
+
+## When to Use This Tool
+
+Use this tool proactively in these scenarios:
+
+- Complex multi-step tasks - When a task requires 3 or more distinct steps or actions
+- Non-trivial and complex tasks - Tasks that require careful planning or multiple operations
+- Plan mode - When using plan mode, create a task list to track the work
+- User explicitly requests todo list - When the user directly asks you to use the todo list
+- User provides multiple tasks - When users provide a list of things to be done (numbered or comma-separated)
+- After receiving new instructions - Immediately capture user requirements as tasks
+- When you start working on a task - Mark it as in_progress BEFORE beginning work
+- After completing a task - Mark it as completed and add any new follow-up tasks discovered during implementation
+
+## When NOT to Use This Tool
+
+Skip using this tool when:
+- There is only a single, straightforward task
+- The task is trivial and tracking it provides no organizational benefit
+- The task can be completed in less than 3 trivial steps
+- The task is purely conversational or informational
+
+NOTE that you should not use this tool if there is only one trivial task to do. In this case you are better off just doing the task directly.
+
+## Task Fields
+
+- **subject**: A brief, actionable title in imperative form (e.g., "Fix authentication bug in login flow")
+- **description**: Detailed description of what needs to be done, including context and acceptance criteria
+- **activeForm** (optional): Present continuous form shown in the spinner when the task is in_progress (e.g., "Fixing authentication bug"). If omitted, the spinner shows the subject instead.
+
+All tasks are created with status \`pending\`.
+
+## Tips
+
+- Create tasks with clear, specific subjects that describe the outcome
+- Include enough detail in the description for another agent to understand and complete the task
+- After creating tasks, use TaskUpdate to set up dependencies (blocks/blockedBy) if needed
+- Check TaskList first to avoid creating duplicate tasks
+- Include \`agentType\` (e.g., "general-purpose", "Explore") to mark tasks for subagent execution via TaskExecute`,

+
+- To see what tasks are available to work on (status: 'pending', no owner, not blocked)
+- To check overall progress on the project
+- To find tasks that are blocked and need dependencies resolved
+- After completing a task, to check for newly unblocked work or claim the next available task
+- **Prefer working on tasks in ID order** (lowest ID first) when multiple tasks are available, as earlier tasks often set up context for later ones

+## Output
+
+Returns a summary of each task:
+- **id**: Task identifier (use with TaskGet, TaskUpdate)
+- **subject**: Brief description of the task
+- **status**: 'pending', 'in_progress', or 'completed'
+- **owner**: Agent ID if assigned, empty if available

+    description: `Use this tool to update a task in the task list.
+
+## When to Use This Tool
+
+**Before starting work on a task:**
+- Mark it in_progress BEFORE beginning — do not start work without updating status first
+- After resolving, call TaskList to find your next task
+
+**Mark tasks as resolved:**
+- When you have completed the work described in a task
+- When a task is no longer needed or has been superseded
+- IMPORTANT: Always mark your assigned tasks as resolved when you finish them
+- After resolving, call TaskList to find your next task
+
+- ONLY mark a task as completed when you have FULLY accomplished it
+- If you encounter errors, blockers, or cannot finish, keep the task as in_progress
+- When blocked, create a new task describing what needs to be resolved
+- Never mark a task as completed if:
+  - Tests are failing
+  - Implementation is partial
+  - You encountered unresolved errors
+  - You couldn't find necessary files or dependencies
+
+**Delete tasks:**
+- When a task is no longer relevant or was created in error
+- Setting status to \`deleted\` permanently removes the task
+
+**Update task details:**
+- When requirements change or become clearer
+- When establishing dependencies between tasks
+
+## Fields You Can Update
+
+- **status**: The task status (see Status Workflow below)
+- **subject**: Change the task title (imperative form, e.g., "Run tests")
+- **description**: Change the task description
+- **activeForm**: Present continuous form shown in spinner when in_progress (e.g., "Running tests")
+- **owner**: Change the task owner (agent name)
+- **metadata**: Merge metadata keys into the task (set a key to null to delete it)
+- **addBlocks**: Mark tasks that cannot start until this one completes
+- **addBlockedBy**: Mark tasks that must complete before this one can start
+
+## Status Workflow
+
+Status progresses: \`pending\` → \`in_progress\` → \`completed\`
+
+Use \`deleted\` to permanently remove a task.
+
+## Staleness
+
+Make sure to read a task's latest state using \`TaskGet\` before updating it.
+
+## Examples
+
+Mark task as in progress when starting work:
+\`\`\`json
+{"taskId": "1", "status": "in_progress"}
+\`\`\`
+
+Mark task as completed after finishing work:
+\`\`\`json
+{"taskId": "1", "status": "completed"}
+\`\`\`
+
+Delete a task:
+\`\`\`json
+{"taskId": "1", "status": "deleted"}
+\`\`\`
+
+Claim a task by setting owner:
+\`\`\`json
+{"taskId": "1", "owner": "my-name"}
