# groove-utilities-task-analyse

Pulls tasks from your project backend and groups them by status, so you have something to write into daily memory.

## What it 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.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub, Linear

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-task-analyse -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/groove-utilities-task-analyse/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/groove-utilities-task-analyse/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-task-analyse -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/groove-utilities-task-analyse/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-task-analyse -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/groove-utilities-task-analyse/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install andreadellacorte/groove groove-utilities-task-analyse
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/groove-utilities-task-analyse/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-task-analyse -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/andreadellacorte/groove --path skills/groove-utilities-task-analyse
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/groove-utilities-task-analyse/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-task-analyse -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/andreadellacorte/groove/tree/HEAD/skills/groove-utilities-task-analyse/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- 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
- 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)
```
