Where is the task data actually stored?

All task data, history, and learnings are stored as JSON files within the .tak/ directory of your repository, making them version-controlled assets.

Can multiple AI agents use Tak simultaneously?

Yes, Tak includes mesh and blackboard coordination features specifically designed to help multiple agents collaborate, communicate, and avoid file conflicts.

What is the purpose of the 'learnings' feature?

Learnings capture reusable insights, patterns, or pitfalls discovered during a task to ensure that project-specific knowledge is preserved and available for future tasks.

Is it safe to manually edit files in the .tak directory?

No, you should always use the tak CLI commands provided by the skill to ensure data integrity and proper indexing within the internal SQLite database.

How does Tak differ from standard TodoWrite checklists?

Tak is designed for persistent, shared project work items stored in Git, whereas TodoWrite is for ephemeral, personal execution steps within a single conversation.

Productivity & Workflow

Manages git-native project tasks, lifecycle states, and multi-agent coordination within repositories using the tak CLI.

Tak Task Management provides a robust, git-native system for tracking project work items, dependencies, and collective intelligence directly within your repository. Unlike ephemeral checklists, it stores persistent tasks as JSON files, enabling seamless collaboration between human developers and AI agents through a shared, version-controlled state. It features a sophisticated coordination layer with mesh and blackboard systems for multi-agent workflows, automated verification cycles, and a built-in learning repository to capture and reuse project insights, ensuring that institutional knowledge stays with the code.

Key Features

01Hierarchical task structures with dependency mapping and automated verification contracts.

02Git-native task persistence with JSON storage and SQLite indexing for fast querying.

03Mesh and blackboard coordination protocols for multi-agent path reservation and communication.

04Built-in knowledge capture system for recording and suggesting reusable project patterns.

05Comprehensive lifecycle management including claim, start, handoff, and finish states.
