Create Task

Create tracked tasks with priority, due dates, and status workflow.

Prerequisites

Verify Tasks entity is enabled:

Check for
```
.claude/data/tasks/records.yaml
```
If not found, suggest enabling tasks via
```
secondbrain-init
```
or
```
secondbrain-entity
```

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Information

Collect from user or conversation context:

Title — Brief task description
Description (optional) — Detailed description
Priority — low, medium, high, critical
Due Date (optional) — Target completion date
Assignee (optional) — Person responsible

Step 2: Generate Task Number

Sequential ID format:

TASK-XXXX

(zero-padded)

Load
```
.claude/data/tasks/records.yaml
```
Get
```
last_number
```
, increment by 1
Format as
```
TASK-0042
```

Step 3: Create Task Record

Add to

.claude/data/tasks/records.yaml

:

yaml

- number: 42
  title: "Implement user authentication"
  description: "Add OAuth2 login flow"
  status: todo
  priority: high
  created: 2026-01-15
  due_date: 2026-01-31
  assignee: sergey
  tags: [auth, security]

Update

last_number: 42

Step 4: Create Task Document (Optional)

For complex tasks, create a document:

Filename:

docs/tasks/TASK-0042-implement-authentication.md

markdown

---
id: TASK-0042
title: Implement user authentication
status: todo
priority: high
created: 2026-01-15
due_date: 2026-01-31
assignee: sergey
tags: [auth, security]
---

# TASK-0042: Implement user authentication

## Description

## Acceptance Criteria

## Notes

Implementation notes here...

Step 5: Sidebar Note

DO NOT manually add tasks to VitePress sidebar.

Tasks are automatically listed via the

EntityTable

component on

docs/tasks/index.md

, which reads from

.claude/data/tasks/records.yaml

. No sidebar modification needed.

Step 6: Confirm Creation

## Task Created

**ID:** TASK-0042
**Title:** Implement user authentication
**Priority:** high
**Due:** 2026-01-31
**Status:** todo

### Next Steps
- Update status as work progresses
- Add notes to the task document
- Mark complete when done

Status Workflow

todo → in_progress → done
            ↓
         blocked → in_progress
            ↓
        canceled

Status	Description
todo	Not started
in_progress	Work in progress
blocked	Waiting on dependency
done	Completed
canceled	Won't be done

Priority Levels

Priority	Use When
critical	Urgent, blocks other work
high	Important, should be done soon
medium	Normal priority
low	Nice to have, no rush

Tips

Keep titles actionable — Start with a verb (Implement, Fix, Add)
Set realistic due dates — Better to underpromise
Update status promptly — Keeps the backlog accurate
Use tags — Helps filter and group related tasks
Add acceptance criteria — Makes "done" unambiguous
