productivity

name: productivity description: "Use this skill for task management and memory/knowledge management. Triggers: tracking tasks, managing TODOs, creating task lists, remembering information across sessions, maintaining project context, glossaries, people directories, and session memory. Complements Okyerema's DAG tracking and Okyeame's status reporting."

Task tracking and persistent memory management for development workflows.

Task Management

TASKS.md Format

Maintain a TASKS.md file at the project root:

# Tasks

## In Progress
- [ ] Implement auth module @alice
- [ ] Fix pagination bug @bob #high

## Blocked
- [ ] Deploy to staging — waiting on DB migration
  - Blocker: Need DBA approval (asked 2025-01-15)

## Done
- [x] Set up CI pipeline @alice
- [x] Write API docs @bob

Rules

One task per line, checkbox format
@mention for assignment
#high, #medium, #low for priority
Move between sections as status changes
Add sub-bullets for context, blockers, or notes
Date-stamp blockers and decisions

Task Lifecycle

New → In Progress → [Blocked ↔ In Progress] → Done

Memory Management

Two-Tier System

Tier 1: CLAUDE.md (root-level, always loaded)

Project conventions and rules
Key architectural decisions
Current sprint goals
Links to Tier 2 files

Tier 2: memory/ directory (loaded on demand)

memory/glossary.md — Project-specific terms
memory/people.md — Team members, roles, preferences
memory/projects.md — Active projects and status
memory/decisions.md — Decision log with rationale

Glossary Format

# Glossary

| Term | Definition |
|------|-----------|
| Asafo | Implementation agents (warriors) |
| Okyeame | Linguist agent — status, reporting, coordination |
| Okyerema | Master drummer — keeps the rhythm, shared skills |
| Adwoma | Work items — GitHub Issues as external memory |

People Directory

# People

## [Name]
- **Role**: [Title/Function]
- **Handles**: @github, @slack
- **Expertise**: [Key areas]
- **Preferences**: [Communication style, review expectations]
- **Current focus**: [What they're working on]

Decision Log

# Decisions

## [YYYY-MM-DD] [Decision Title]
**Context**: [Why this came up]
**Decision**: [What was decided]
**Alternatives considered**: [What else was evaluated]
**Rationale**: [Why this option won]
**Revisit if**: [Conditions that would change this]

Integration with Anokye System

Okyeame uses task data for /sitrep and /recap commands
Okyerema maintains rhythm across tasks via DAG tracking
Adwoma (GitHub Issues) is the canonical source of truth — TASKS.md is a local working copy
Sync pattern: Issues → TASKS.md for local work, push status back to Issues
