What is Find Code Tasks?
The Find Code Tasks skill is an essential tool for developers utilizing Openclaw Skills to manage project momentum. It automatically scans your repository for .code-task.md files, extracting critical metadata and status information to provide a real-time snapshot of your development backlog.
By synthesizing task data directly from the codebase, this skill bridges the gap between task management and active coding. It ensures that both human developers and AI agents have a shared understanding of what work is pending, currently in progress, or successfully completed, fostering a more organized and predictable development environment.
Find Code Tasks Use Cases
- Starting a fresh work session to identify high-priority pending tasks.
- Validating task transitions and status updates after running automated code-assist routines.
- Generating structured JSON reports of repository progress for external stakeholders.
- Auditing the task backlog to identify blocked items or stale development branches.
How Find Code Tasks Works
- The skill triggers a shell script to locate all .code-task.md files in a designated directory.
- It parses the YAML frontmatter from each task file to retrieve status and date metadata.
- The system applies user-defined filters to include only specific task states like pending or completed.
- Data is transformed into the requested output format, such as a visual table or a programmatic JSON array.
- The skill analyzes the results to suggest the most logical next action, such as starting a specific task with code-assist.
Find Code Tasks Setup
To deploy this skill within your repository, ensure the core script is executable and placed in the expected directory structure.
# Navigate to the skill directory
cd .claude/skills/find-code-tasks/
# Grant execution permissions to the status script
chmod +x task-status.sh
# Initialize a task search from your agent interface
/find-code-tasks
Find Code Tasks Data Schema & Taxonomy
This skill utilizes a standardized Markdown frontmatter schema to track the lifecycle of each task. This allows Openclaw Skills to maintain consistency across different tools.
| Property | Description | Values |
|---|---|---|
| status | The current state of the task | pending, in_progress, completed, blocked |
| created | The date the task was initialized | YYYY-MM-DD |
| started | The date work officially began | YYYY-MM-DD or null |
| completed | The date the task reached its goal | YYYY-MM-DD or null |
Find Code Tasks Advanced Features
- Flexible output rendering including human-readable tables with status symbols and machine-ready JSON.
- Support for custom task directories to accommodate diverse project architectures.
- Deep integration with other Openclaw Skills such as the code-task-generator and ralph-code-assist for end-to-end task automation.
- Intelligent action suggestions that dynamically change based on the current state of the task backlog.
