What groove-utilities-task-analyse does

The skill reads tasks.backend and tasks.analyse_limit from .groove/index.md, then queries the configured backend and sorts tasks into in-progress, todo/ready, blocked, completed and scrapped. For beans it runs skills/groove-utilities-task-list/scripts/list-tasks-by-priority.sh [LIMIT] for active work, fetches completed and scrapped items through beans list --json, and merges everything into one report.

With linear it pulls assigned issues via the CLI or MCP; with github it calls gh issue list --state all --assignee @me and groups by label and state. Milestones and epics come with progress like "X of Y tasks done". For completed tasks the skill includes the "Summary of Changes" section from the body when it exists. A task with no resolution still shows up, flagged as missing one.

Output is markdown with a header per status group and a bullet per task. That is enough to write daily memory bullets without opening the tasks yourself. If the config says tasks.backend: none, the skill does nothing and tells you so. One thing to watch: the default limit is 30 active tasks, so on a large backlog the report will not cover everything.

What it helps with

  • merge tasks from a backend into one status summary
  • show milestone and epic progress as X of Y
  • pull resolution text from completed tasks, not just titles
  • prepare daily memory bullets without rereading tasks
  • spot a completed task that has no resolution

Example prompts for the agent

  • analyse the tasks and show a summary by status
  • build a task report for daily memory
  • show progress across milestones and epics

# groove-utilities-task-analyse

## Outcome

Tasks are summarised by status. Milestones and epics are summarised. Completed tasks include enough resolution detail for memory population bullets. Output is suitable for daily end and daily memory.

## Acceptance Criteria

- Tasks grouped by status: in-progress, todo/ready, blocked, completed, scrapped
- Milestones/epics show progress (X of Y tasks done)
- Completed tasks include resolution summary (not just title)
- Output contains enough detail to write meaningful daily memory bullets without re-reading tasks

## Constraints

- Read `tasks.backend` and `tasks.analyse_limit` (default 30) from `.groove/index.md`
- If `tasks.backend: none`, no-op with friendly message
- Backend mappings:
  - `beans`: (1) run `skills/groove-utilities-task-list/scripts/list-tasks-by-priority.sh [LIMIT]` for active tasks (LIMIT from `tasks.analyse_limit` or 30); (2) run `beans list --json --status completed` and `beans list --json --status scrapped` for completed/scrapped; merge, group by status, then summarise (milestones/epics and resolution detail as per acceptance criteria)
  - `linear`: fetch all assigned issues via linear CLI or MCP, group by state
  - `github`: `gh issue list --state all --assignee @me`, group by label/state
- For completed tasks: include the body's "Summary of Changes" section if present
- If a completed task has no resolution, note that it is missing — do not omit the task
- Output format should be scannable markdown (headers per status group, bullet per task)
