/tasks — Review and Manage Tasks

Review proposed tasks, approve or reject with reasoning, update the kanban, log rejections so the system learns.

Used by 1 agent

What it does

Task review loop for the backlog. Lists proposed tasks with title, scope, assignee, and priority. Per task: approve (move to ready-to-start, update kanban), reject (log reason, append to Rejection Log, update memory so agents learn the pattern), skip, or modify. Also surfaces in-progress and blocked work so the pipeline state is visible in one place.

Use it inside `/daily` or standalone whenever the backlog has proposed tasks waiting. Tasks don't execute without approval. Rejections compound into rules the scheduled agents learn from, so no skipped "just delete it" step.

Outputs updated task files (frontmatter, folder moves), updated `Task Board.md`, an appended `governance/Rejection Log.md` entry per rejection, and memory updates for durable patterns. Pairs with `get-shit-done` (executes what gets approved) and `daily` (the capture layer that proposes them).
