批量操作中的所有任务都是原子性的——要么全部执行成功,要么都不生效。

Task Status Types

任务状态类型

  • [ ]
    - Pending (not started)
  • [-]
    - In-progress (currently working on)
  • [x]
    - Completed (finished)
  • [ ]
    - 待处理(未开始)
  • [-]
    - 进行中(当前正在处理)
  • [x]
    - 已完成(已结束)

Phases

阶段

Phases are H2 headers (
## Phase Name
) that group tasks. Tasks are numbered globally across phases.
  • rune add-phase [file] "Phase Name"
    - Adds H2 header at end of file
  • rune add [file] --title "Task" --phase "Phase Name"
    - Adds task under specified phase
阶段是用于分组任务的H2标题(
## Phase Name
)。任务ID在所有阶段中全局编号。
  • rune add-phase [file] "Phase Name"
    - 在文档末尾添加H2标题
  • rune add [file] --title "Task" --phase "Phase Name"
    - 将任务添加到指定阶段下

Renumbering

重新编号

rune renumber [file]
recalculates task IDs to sequential numbering.
  • Creates .bak backup before changes
  • Preserves hierarchy, statuses, and phase markers
  • Does NOT update requirement links in task details
  • Use
    --dry-run
    to preview
  • Stable IDs (used for dependencies) survive renumbering
rune renumber [file]
会重新计算所有任务ID为连续编号。
  • 在修改前会创建.bak备份文件
  • 保留任务层级、状态和阶段标记
  • 不会更新任务详情中的需求链接
  • 使用
    --dry-run
    参数预览修改效果
  • 用于依赖关系的稳定ID在重新编号后会保留

Task Dependencies (Blocked-by)

任务依赖(被阻塞)

Tasks can declare dependencies on other tasks using the
--blocked-by
flag. A task is "ready" only when all its blocking tasks are completed.
  • rune add [file] --title "Task" --blocked-by "1,2"
    - Task blocked by tasks 1 and 2
  • rune update [file] [task-id] --blocked-by "1,2"
    - Set/update dependencies
  • Dependencies are stored as stable IDs (7-character alphanumeric) internally
  • Circular dependencies are detected and rejected
  • Deleting a task automatically removes it from dependent tasks' blocked-by lists
Stable IDs: Tasks have persistent stable IDs (hidden in markdown as HTML comments) that survive renumbering. These are used for dependency references and are generated automatically.
任务可以通过
--blocked-by
标志声明对其他任务的依赖。只有当所有阻塞任务都完成后,该任务才处于“可执行”状态。
  • rune add [file] --title "Task" --blocked-by "1,2"
    - 添加被任务1和2阻塞的任务
  • rune update [file] [task-id] --blocked-by "1,2"
    - 设置/更新任务依赖
  • 依赖关系在内部以稳定ID(7位字母数字组合)存储
  • 会检测并拒绝循环依赖
  • 删除任务时会自动从依赖该任务的其他任务的被阻塞列表中移除
稳定ID:任务拥有持久的稳定ID(以HTML注释的形式隐藏在Markdown中),重新编号后不会改变。这些ID用于依赖关系引用,会自动生成。

Work Streams

工作流

Streams partition tasks for parallel agent execution. Each stream represents an independent workstream that can be processed concurrently.
  • rune streams [file]
    - Show all streams with ready/blocked/active task counts
  • rune streams [file] --available
    - Show only streams with ready tasks
  • rune streams [file] --json
    - Machine-readable stream status
  • Default stream is 1 for tasks without explicit assignment
  • Streams are derived from task assignments (no upfront definition needed)
Stream Status Output:
Stream 1: 2 ready, 3 blocked, 1 active
Stream 2: 0 ready, 2 blocked, 0 active
工作流用于划分任务以支持多Agent并行执行。每个工作流代表一个独立的任务流,可以被独立处理。
  • rune streams [file]
    - 显示所有工作流的可执行/阻塞/活跃任务数量
  • rune streams [file] --available
    - 仅显示包含可执行任务的工作流
  • rune streams [file] --json
    - 以机器可读的JSON格式输出工作流状态
  • 未明确分配的任务默认属于流1
  • 工作流是根据任务分配自动生成的,无需提前定义
工作流状态输出示例:
Stream 1: 2 ready, 3 blocked, 1 active
Stream 2: 0 ready, 2 blocked, 0 active

Task Ownership

任务所有权

Agents can claim tasks by setting an owner. This prevents multiple agents from working on the same task.
  • rune next [file] --claim "agent-1"
    - Claim next ready task (sets owner and status to in-progress)
  • rune next [file] --stream 2 --claim "agent-1"
    - Claim all ready tasks in stream 2
  • rune update [file] [task-id] --owner "agent-1"
    - Manually claim a task
  • rune update [file] [task-id] --release
    - Release ownership
  • rune list [file] --owner "agent-1"
    - Filter to tasks owned by agent
  • rune list [file] --owner ""
    - Filter to unowned tasks
Agent可以通过设置任务归属来认领任务,这样可以避免多个Agent处理同一个任务。
  • rune next [file] --claim "agent-1"
    - 认领下一个可执行任务(设置归属并将状态标记为进行中)
  • rune next [file] --stream 2 --claim "agent-1"
    - 认领流2中所有可执行任务
  • rune update [file] [task-id] --owner "agent-1"
    - 手动认领任务
  • rune update [file] [task-id] --release
    - 释放任务所有权
  • rune list [file] --owner "agent-1"
    - 筛选出属于指定Agent的任务
  • rune list [file] --owner ""
    - 筛选出无归属的任务

Git Integration

Git集成

When git discovery is enabled in rune's config, you can omit the filename and rune will auto-discover based on the current branch.
当在rune配置中启用Git发现功能后,你可以省略文件名,rune会根据当前分支自动查找对应的任务文件。

Workflow Guidelines

工作流指南

When Creating Tasks

创建任务时

  1. Check if a task file exists for the current context (use
    rune list
    or check git branch)
  2. Create phases for logical grouping when tasks span multiple areas
  3. Use clear, actionable task titles
  4. Break complex tasks into subtasks with proper parent references
  5. Link requirements when tasks relate to specification documents
  1. 检查当前上下文是否存在任务文件(使用
    rune list
    或检查Git分支)
  2. 当任务涉及多个领域时,创建阶段进行逻辑分组
  3. 使用清晰、可执行的任务标题
  4. 将复杂任务拆分为带有正确父引用的子任务
  5. 当任务与规范文档相关时,链接对应的需求

When Managing Tasks

管理任务时

  1. Use
    rune list --filter pending
    to see what needs to be done
  2. Use
    rune next
    to identify the next task to work on
  3. Mark tasks as in-progress when starting work
  4. Complete tasks immediately when finished
  5. Use batch operations when making multiple related changes
  1. 使用
    rune list --filter pending
    查看待处理任务
  2. 使用
    rune next
    确定下一个要处理的任务
  3. 开始处理任务时将其标记为进行中
  4. 任务完成后立即标记为已完成
  5. 进行多个相关修改时使用批量操作

Multi-Agent Parallel Execution

多Agent并行执行

  1. Use
    rune streams
    to see available work streams
  2. Assign agents to streams:
    rune next --stream N --claim "agent-id"
  3. Each agent works independently within its claimed stream
  4. Use
    rune list --owner "agent-id"
    to see an agent's tasks
  5. Complete tasks to unblock dependent tasks in other streams
  6. Use
    --release
    when an agent needs to give up a task
  1. 使用
    rune streams
    查看可用的工作流
  2. 为Agent分配工作流:
    rune next --stream N --claim "agent-id"
  3. 每个Agent在其认领的工作流中独立工作
  4. 使用
    rune list --owner "agent-id"
    查看Agent的任务
  5. 完成任务以解除其他工作流中依赖任务的阻塞状态
  6. 当Agent无法继续处理任务时使用
    --release
    释放任务

When Organizing

组织任务时

  1. Group related tasks under phases (e.g., "Planning", "Development", "Testing")
  2. Use subtasks for breaking down complex work
  3. Keep task hierarchy shallow (avoid deeply nested structures)
  4. Use descriptive phase names that reflect workflow stages
  1. 将相关任务分组到对应阶段下(例如“规划”、“开发”、“测试”)
  2. 使用子任务拆分复杂工作
  3. 保持任务层级较浅(避免深度嵌套结构)
  4. 使用能反映工作流阶段的描述性阶段名称

Output Formats

输出格式

  • Use
    --format table
    (default) for human-readable display
  • Use
    --format json
    when you need to parse task data
  • Use
    --format markdown
    for documentation or reports
  • 使用
    --format table
    (默认)获取人类可读的显示格式
  • 当需要解析任务数据时使用
    --format json
  • 用于文档或报告时使用
    --format markdown

Best Practices

最佳实践

  1. Atomic Operations: Use
    rune batch
    for related changes to ensure all-or-nothing updates
  2. Status Tracking: Keep task status current - mark in-progress when starting, completed when done
  3. Hierarchy: Use parent-child relationships to show task structure
  4. Dependencies: Use
    --blocked-by
    to define execution order between tasks
  5. Streams: Partition independent work into streams for parallel agent execution
  6. Phases: Organize tasks by workflow stage or feature area
  7. Dry Run: Use
    --dry-run
    flag to preview changes before applying them
  8. Git Integration: Leverage branch-based file discovery for feature-specific task lists
  9. Batch for Multiple Updates: When marking multiple tasks complete or updating status, use batch operations instead of individual commands for efficiency
  10. Auto-completion: When all subtasks of a parent task are completed, the parent task is automatically marked as completed
  11. Filtering: Use
    --filter pending|in-progress|completed
    with
    rune list
    to focus on tasks in specific states
  12. Search: Use
    rune find
    to quickly locate tasks by keyword across titles and details
  13. Claiming Tasks: Use
    rune next --claim
    to atomically claim and start tasks
  14. Stream Discovery: Use
    rune streams --available
    to find streams with ready work
  1. 原子操作:使用
    rune batch
    执行相关修改,确保所有修改要么全部成功要么全部不生效

Common Patterns

常见使用模式

Creating a New Task File

创建新任务文件

bash
rune create tasks.md --title "Project Name or Description"
bash
rune create tasks.md --title "项目名称或描述"

Creating a Feature Task File with References

创建带有引用的功能任务文件

bash
rune create specs/${feature_name}/tasks.md --title "Project Tasks" \
  --reference specs/${feature_name}/requirements.md \
  --reference specs/${feature_name}/design.md \
  --reference specs/${feature_name}/decision_log.md
bash
rune create specs/${feature_name}/tasks.md --title "项目任务" \
  --reference specs/${feature_name}/requirements.md \
  --reference specs/${feature_name}/design.md \
  --reference specs/${feature_name}/decision_log.md

Creating a Phase and Adding Tasks to It

创建阶段并添加任务

Use batch operations to create a phase and add tasks in one atomic operation:
bash
rune batch tasks.md --input '{
  "file": "tasks.md",
  "operations": [
    {"type": "add-phase", "phase": "Implementation"},
    {"type": "add", "title": "Build core feature", "phase": "Implementation"},
    {"type": "add", "title": "Add error handling", "phase": "Implementation"}
  ]
}'
使用批量操作原子性地创建阶段并添加任务:
bash
rune batch tasks.md --input '{
  "file": "tasks.md",
  "operations": [
    {"type": "add-phase", "phase": "Implementation"},
    {"type": "add", "title": "构建核心功能", "phase": "Implementation"},
    {"type": "add", "title": "添加错误处理", "phase": "Implementation"}
  ]
}'

Adding Multiple Related Tasks

添加多个相关任务

Use batch operations to add a group of related tasks atomically:
bash
rune batch tasks.md --input '{
  "file": "tasks.md",
  "operations": [
    {"type": "add", "title": "Parent Task", "phase": "Phase Name"},
    {"type": "add", "title": "Subtask 1", "parent": "1"},
    {"type": "add", "title": "Subtask 2", "parent": "1"}
  ]
}'
使用批量操作原子性地添加一组相关任务:
bash
rune batch tasks.md --input '{
  "file": "tasks.md",
  "operations": [
    {"type": "add", "title": "父任务", "phase": "阶段名称"},
    {"type": "add", "title": "子任务1", "parent": "1"},
    {"type": "add", "title": "子任务2", "parent": "1"}
  ]
}'

Marking Multiple Tasks Complete

标记多个任务为已完成

bash
rune batch tasks.md --input '{
  "file": "tasks.md",
  "operations": [
    {"type": "update", "id": "1.1", "status": 2},
    {"type": "update", "id": "1.2", "status": 2},
    {"type": "update", "id": "2.1", "status": 2}
  ]
}'
bash
rune batch tasks.md --input '{
  "file": "tasks.md",
  "operations": [
    {"type": "update", "id": "1.1", "status": 2},
    {"type": "update", "id": "1.2", "status": 2},
    {"type": "update", "id": "2.1", "status": 2}
  ]
}'

Adding References and Requirements

添加引用和需求

bash
rune batch tasks.md --input '{
  "file": "tasks.md",
  "operations": [
    {
      "type": "update",
      "id": "2.1",
      "references": ["docs/api-spec.md", "examples/usage.md"]
    },
    {
      "type": "add",
      "title": "Integration tests",
      "requirements": ["1.2", "1.3"]
    }
  ]
}'
bash
rune batch tasks.md --input '{
  "file": "tasks.md",
  "operations": [
    {
      "type": "update",
      "id": "2.1",
      "references": ["docs/api-spec.md", "examples/usage.md"]
    },
    {
      "type": "add",
      "title": "集成测试",
      "requirements": ["1.2", "1.3"]
    }
  ]
}'

Key Command Syntax Notes

关键命令语法说明

Positional vs Flag Arguments

位置参数与标志参数

Many rune commands use positional arguments for task IDs, not flags:
Correct:
  • rune complete tasks.md 1.2
  • rune progress tasks.md 3.1
  • rune update tasks.md 2.3 --title "New title"
  • rune remove tasks.md 4
Incorrect:
  • rune complete tasks.md --id 1.2
  • rune progress tasks.md --id 3.1
许多rune命令使用位置参数指定任务ID,而不是标志参数:
正确用法:
  • rune complete tasks.md 1.2
  • rune progress tasks.md 3.1
  • rune update tasks.md 2.3 --title "新标题"
  • rune remove tasks.md 4
错误用法:
  • rune complete tasks.md --id 1.2
  • rune progress tasks.md --id 3.1

Array Fields in Batch Operations

批量操作中的数组字段

When using batch operations,
references
and
requirements
must be arrays:
Correct:
json
{
  "type": "update",
  "id": "1.1",
  "references": ["file1.md", "file2.md"],
  "requirements": ["2.1", "2.2"]
}
Incorrect:
json
{
  "type": "update",
  "id": "1.1",
  "references": "file1.md,file2.md",
  "requirements": "2.1,2.2"
}
在批量操作中,
references
requirements
必须为数组
正确格式:
json
{
  "type": "update",
  "id": "1.1",
  "references": ["file1.md", "file2.md"],
  "requirements": ["2.1", "2.2"]
}
错误格式:
json
{
  "type": "update",
  "id": "1.1",
  "references": "file1.md,file2.md",
  "requirements": "2.1,2.2"
}

Output Formats

输出格式

The
--format
flag supports three output modes:
  • table
    - Default, human-readable table view
  • markdown
    - Markdown checklist format with
    [ ]
    ,
    [-]
    ,
    [x]
    checkboxes
  • json
    - Machine-readable JSON for parsing
--format
标志支持三种输出模式:
  • table
    - 默认模式,人类可读的表格视图
  • markdown
    - 带有
    [ ]
    ,
    [-]
    ,
    [x]
    复选框的Markdown任务列表格式
  • json
    - 机器可读的JSON格式,用于解析

Task Filtering

任务筛选

The
--filter
flag with
rune list
accepts:
  • pending
    - Show only incomplete tasks
  • in-progress
    - Show only tasks currently being worked on
  • completed
    - Show only finished tasks
Additional filters for multi-agent workflows:
  • --stream N
    - Filter to tasks in stream N
  • --owner "agent-id"
    - Filter to tasks owned by agent-id
  • --owner ""
    - Filter to unowned tasks
rune list
--filter
标志支持以下值:
  • pending
    - 仅显示未完成任务
  • in-progress
    - 仅显示当前正在处理的任务
  • completed
    - 仅显示已完成任务
多Agent工作流的额外筛选器:
  • --stream N
    - 筛选出属于流N的任务
  • --owner "agent-id"
    - 筛选出属于agent-id的任务
  • --owner ""
    - 筛选出无归属的任务

Markdown Storage Format for Dependencies/Streams

依赖/工作流的Markdown存储格式

Tasks with dependencies, streams, or owners are stored with metadata as list items:
markdown
- [ ] 1. Initialize project <!-- id:abc1234 -->
  - Details about initialization
  - Stream: 1

- [ ] 2. Configure database <!-- id:def5678 -->
  - Blocked-by: abc1234 (Initialize project)
  - Stream: 1

- [-] 3. Build API <!-- id:ghi9012 -->
  - Blocked-by: def5678 (Configure database)
  - Stream: 1
  - Owner: agent-backend
  • Stable IDs: Hidden as HTML comments after the title (system-managed)
  • Blocked-by, Stream, Owner: Visible list items under the task (user-editable)
  • Title hints: Dependency references include task titles for readability
带有依赖、工作流或归属信息的任务会以列表项的形式存储元数据:
markdown
- [ ] 1. 初始化项目 <!-- id:abc1234 -->
  - 初始化相关详情
  - Stream: 1

- [ ] 2. 配置数据库 <!-- id:def5678 -->
  - Blocked-by: abc1234 (初始化项目)
  - Stream: 1

- [-] 3. 构建API <!-- id:ghi9012 -->
  - Blocked-by: def5678 (配置数据库)
  - Stream: 1
  - Owner: agent-backend
  • 稳定ID:以HTML注释的形式隐藏在标题后(系统管理)
  • Blocked-by, Stream, Owner:显示在任务下方的列表项中(用户可编辑)
  • 标题提示:依赖引用包含任务标题以提升可读性

Response Format

响应格式

When managing tasks:
  1. Explain what operations you'll perform
  2. Execute the rune commands
  3. Show the results (list updated tasks if relevant)
  4. Confirm what was accomplished
Remember: Rune is designed for AI agents, so use it efficiently with batch operations when appropriate and always maintain clean, hierarchical task structures.
管理任务时:
  1. 说明你将执行的操作
  2. 执行rune命令
  3. 显示结果(相关的话列出更新后的任务)
  4. 确认已完成的操作
请记住:Rune是为AI Agent设计的,因此在合适时高效使用批量操作,并始终保持清晰、层级分明的任务结构。
