What is Task Tracker?
Task Tracker is a specialized utility designed to bring structure to personal and professional workflows through the power of Openclaw Skills. It functions as a local task manager that resides within your AI agent's memory, allowing for seamless tracking of priorities, blockers, and deadlines without leaving your coding environment. By maintaining a clean, Markdown-based source of truth, it ensures your AI agent always knows exactly what is on your plate.
This skill is built for developers who need more than a simple to-do list. It facilitates sophisticated project management behaviors like quarterly archiving and natural language task extraction. Integrating this into your Openclaw Skills library enables a high-velocity feedback loop between your planning and execution phases, turning raw meeting notes into actionable items instantly.
Task Tracker Use Cases
- Conducting automated daily standups to surface high-priority items and blockers.
- Performing comprehensive weekly reviews to archive finished work and plan upcoming sprints.
- Extracting actionable tasks and assignments directly from raw meeting transcripts.
- Managing complex project deadlines and identifying tasks that are blocking team members.
- Maintaining a structured historical archive of completed work for performance reviews.
How Task Tracker Works
- The AI agent receives a trigger, such as a natural language request like "what's due this week?" via the Openclaw Skills interface.
- The system invokes the underlying Python scripts to parse the local TASKS.md file located in the work memory directory.
- The script filters tasks based on priority levels (High, Medium, Low) and status (Todo, In Progress, Blocked).
- For standups and reviews, the skill generates a formatted summary and can optionally post it to external integrations like Telegram or Obsidian.
- Any changes, such as adding or completing tasks, are written back to the Markdown file while maintaining the strict organizational schema.

Task Tracker Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes data within the ~/clawd/memory/work/ directory to ensure persistence and readability for both humans and AI agents:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
TASKS.md |
The active source of truth containing current tasks, priorities, and checkboxes. |
ARCHIVE-YYYY-QX.md |
A quarterly archive where completed tasks are moved during weekly reviews. |
WORKFLOW.md |
Documentation of the specific lifecycle and status transitions for tasks. |
Tasks within the Markdown file follow a specific metadata schema including priority icons, due dates, and blocking relationships.
Task Tracker Advanced Features
