What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• taskhold_begin

  Start work in one call: files a new task (or takes an existing one with task_id), plans its steps, marks it in progress and starts the first step. Use this whenever the person asks for something: it puts the request on their board with a checklist and a progress bar. Returns the

• taskhold_list

  List top-level tasks, one line each, grouped by status. Pass project to see one repo's work. Each line has status, title, steps done, progress and id; steps aren't listed (taskhold_get shows them). An unknown project name returns no tasks and is not created.

• taskhold_get

  Get one task with its full description, steps (subtasks), progress, labels and the latest notes. Returns status, priority, project, the numbered steps with ids (each with its description and, once done, its summary), up to 10 latest notes, the completion summary and what changed

• taskhold_get_current

  Get the task in progress (in this project when you pass project), with its steps and the next one to do. Call this at the start of a session. Returns the most recently active in-progress task, its numbered steps with ids (with descriptions and the summaries of done steps), the ne

• taskhold_search

  Search tasks and steps by text in the title or description (case-insensitive, up to 100 tasks scanned). Returns matching lines grouped by status, with ids (a step names the task it belongs to), or a line saying nothing matched.

• taskhold_create

  File work for later: a bug, a refactor, a follow-up you aren't doing now (it lands in To Do). To file and start work at once, use taskhold_begin. Pass parent_task_id to add one step to an existing task (taskhold_plan for several). Returns the new id, status (todo) and priority. F

• taskhold_plan

  Add ordered steps (subtasks) to a task so the person sees a checklist; the progress bar fills as steps finish. taskhold_begin already does this for new work. For an existing task: taskhold_start it, then taskhold_plan. Steps don't nest. Returns the task's whole step list with ids

• taskhold_progress

  Move the person's progress bar during a long step or a task without steps: percent, or current and total (e.g. 12 of 40 files), plus a short message about what's happening now. On a task with steps, the steps drive the bar: numbers you send for the task go to its running step. Ca

• taskhold_create_from_todo

  Create a task from a TODO comment in code, keeping the file path and line number (label todo-from-code plus any labels you pass; priority as in taskhold_create; use taskhold_create for anything else). Returns the new task with its id and code location. Fails at the account's task

• taskhold_start

  Mark a task or step in progress when you begin it. Starting a step also starts its task. For new work, taskhold_begin files, plans and starts in one call. Returns the id, status and the next step's id when it has steps. Safe to repeat; it also resumes a blocked or done task. An u

• taskhold_complete

  Mark a task or step done, with a summary of what you did and, optionally, a structured outcome: files changed (with +/- line counts), checks run (pass/fail/skip), links (PR, commit, branch, deploy, doc), follow-up task ids, risks and how the person can verify it. The person sees

• taskhold_block

  Mark a task (or step) blocked when you can't continue without the person (a decision, missing info, access). Returns the question and the exact taskhold_updates call to wait with. Write the reason as one question they can answer from the board in a line, e.g. "Decide: drop the le

• taskhold_unblock

  Move a blocked task back to todo once the blocker is resolved (taskhold_start resumes it directly). Returns the task with status todo. A task that isn't blocked is left as it is and the reply says its status; an unknown task_id fails with "Task not found".

• taskhold_update

  Update a task's title, description, priority or project. Only fields you pass change; status goes through taskhold_start, taskhold_complete and taskhold_block. Returns the task as it is now. Fails on an unknown task_id, a project_id that doesn't exist (pass project by name instea

• taskhold_add_note

  Add a note to a task: findings, decisions, what you tried. The person reads these. Notes are append-only and shown oldest first (taskhold_get shows the latest 10). Returns a one-line confirmation; an unknown task_id fails with "Task not found".

• taskhold_set_priority

  Change a task's priority. Returns the task title and new priority; an unknown task_id fails with "Task not found".

• taskhold_updates

  What the person changed since you last looked: replies (notes), new tasks, priority changes, unblocks. Call when you resume, between steps, and after blocking (with wait, to hold until the reply lands). Pass the cursor from the previous call (or from taskhold_begin / taskhold_blo

• taskhold_list_projects

  List projects with their open work, one line each. You rarely need this: every tool takes project as a name. Each line has the name, open counts (working, blocked, todo) and id.

• taskhold_create_project

  Create a project (a group of tasks, usually one per repo). Optional: any tool that takes project creates it on first use. Returns the existing project if one has this name (case-insensitive), without changing it: the reply says if your description or color wasn't applied (taskhol

• taskhold_update_project

  Change a project's name, description or color. Only fields you pass change. Returns the project as it is now. Fails on an unknown project (it is never created here), on a name another project already has, or with nothing to change.

• taskhold_list_labels

  List the account's labels, one name per line. Labels are created by passing them to taskhold_create or taskhold_begin.

• taskhold_get_summary

  Task counts by status, priority and who added them (human or agent). Returns the total and one list per grouping; counts top-level tasks only, not steps.
