Manages and organizes tasks within Johnny.Decimal systems using the standardized jdtodo.txt plain-text format.
The Johnny.Decimal Task Manager skill enables Claude to seamlessly interact with your tasks following the Johnny.Decimal methodology. It parses todo.txt, done.txt, and someday.txt files, providing sophisticated filtering by priority, context, and JD codes. By integrating with your system's JDex (index), it can validate task locations and enrich task views with human-readable descriptions. This skill is ideal for users who want a structured, plain-text-based workflow that keeps their task management deeply integrated with their file organization system, supporting complex dependencies, subtasks, and recurrence.
