How does the Task Stack differ from the Pipeline Queue?

The Task Stack manages human-defined priorities (what YOU want to do) via manual commands, while the Pipeline Queue manages automated system states (what the SYSTEM needs to process) used by other automation skills.

Can I reorder tasks if my priorities change?

Absolutely. You can use the '/tasks reorder' command followed by the task number and its new desired position to instantly update your priority list.

Where are my tasks and queue data stored?

Tasks are stored in 'ops/tasks.md' as Markdown, and the queue is stored in 'ops/queue/queue.yaml' or 'ops/queue/queue.json', keeping everything within your repository's version control.

Does this skill work with the /next command?

Yes. The /next command prioritizes items from your manual task stack first. If the stack is empty, it then evaluates the pipeline queue and vault health to suggest your next move.

What are 'Discoveries' in this skill?

Discoveries are unstructured notes or insights captured during work or pipeline execution. They are stored in a dedicated section of your task stack to be reviewed or converted into tasks later.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Manages a dual-layer system for tracking manual human priorities and automated pipeline processing states.

The Task Stack & Queue Manager is a specialized workflow skill designed to synchronize human intent with automated system actions. It maintains a persistent markdown-based task stack (ops/tasks.md) for manual priority tracking while simultaneously monitoring automated processing queues in YAML or JSON formats. This 'two systems, one view' approach ensures developers never lose their place during complex coding sessions, providing a unified dashboard for pending work, active tasks, and background pipeline discoveries.
