What fields are supported for updates?

You can update status, priority, tags, notes, description, title, and GitHub issue links.

Can I update multiple fields at once?

The task-update skill is designed to update one field at a time to ensure proper validation and execution of specific logic, such as timestamping.

Does this skill update local files or just a database?

It updates both the local SQLite journal database and the corresponding TASK.md file to ensure documentation and data remain perfectly in sync.

How does it handle status changes?

When a status changes to 'in-progress' or 'done', the skill automatically records the UTC timestamp in the database for accurate performance tracking.

Will adding notes overwrite my existing task documentation?

No, for the 'notes' field, the skill is configured to append text to the Notes section in TASK.md rather than replacing it.

Productivity & Workflow

Updates task metadata across SQLite databases and Markdown documentation to maintain project tracking synchronization.

The Task Update skill provides a robust mechanism for managing project progress within the Claude Code environment. It allows users to modify critical task attributes—such as status, priority, and GitHub issue links—while ensuring consistency between local SQLite storage and individual TASK.md files. By automating timestamp tracking for starts and completions, it simplifies the journaling process and ensures that project state is always accurate and up-to-date, making it an essential tool for developers using the workflow-toolkit for session journaling.
