What groove-utilities-task-config does

This skill manages the tasks.backend setting inside .groove/index.md. Running it without arguments prints the current configuration. It writes new values directly to frontmatter. Other keys remain untouched.

Accepted backend values are beans, linear, github, and none. Any unrecognized input triggers an immediate error. If .groove/index.md is missing, the skill generates it automatically from skills/groove/templates/index.md using default values.

Updating the configuration file is not enough. When the backend changes, the skill prompts you to execute /groove-utilities-task-install. Without this step, the new task integration will not work.

What it helps with

  • inspect the current task backend setting
  • switch the issue tracker to linear or github
  • disable external trackers using none
  • generate .groove/index.md from the template if missing

Example prompts for the agent

  • Show the current task backend setting
  • Switch task backend to linear
  • Set tasks.backend to github
