Features

7 LLM-callable tools — TaskCreate, TaskList, TaskGet, TaskUpdate, TaskOutput, TaskStop, TaskExecute — matching Claude Code's exact tool specs and descriptions
Persistent widget — live task list above the editor with ✔/◼/◻ status marks, task numbers (#1, #2, …), strikethrough for completed tasks, star spinner (✳✽) for active tasks with elapsed time and token counts. Every glyph is configurable
System-reminder injection — periodic nudges injected into the upcoming LLM request (via the context hook, transient and never persisted) when task tools haven't been used recently, or when a task is left stuck in_progress after a text-only turn. Shaped after Claude Code's todo reminders — an empty-list nudge or a JSON echo of the current list (capped at 10 tasks)
Prompt guidelines — workflow contract encoded in tool descriptions, nudging the LLM at the point of tool use
Dependency management — bidirectional blocks/blockedBy relationships with warnings for cycles, self-deps, and dangling references
Shared task lists — multiple pi sessions can share a file-backed task list for agent team coordination
File locking — concurrent access is safe when multiple sessions share a task list
Background process tracking — track spawned processes with output buffering, blocking wait, and graceful stop
Subagent integration — tasks with agentType can be executed as subagents via `TaskExec
