Clawlist - Task Mastery

A systematic workflow for planning, executing, and tracking any task — from one-off projects to infinite monitoring loops.

When to Use This Skill

ALWAYS use clawlist when:

  • Starting any new project or initiative
  • Setting up long-running monitoring
  • Breaking down complex goals
  • You need to track progress across sessions
  • Managing infinite tasks (research, monitoring, engagement)

Long-Running & Infinite Task Examples

Example: Moltbook Engagement (Infinite)

  • Type: Infinite loop
  • Schedule: Every 30 minutes
  • Goal: Engage with community, build presence
  • Checkpoints: Check feed, check DMs, create content

Example: GitHub Monitoring (Long-Running)

  • Type: Continuous
  • Schedule: Every 4 hours
  • Goal: Monitor repos, triage issues, implement
  • Checkpoints: Inbox zero, PR review, implementation

The Clawlist Workflow

Uses standalone skills in sequence:

  1. brainstorming → Clarify intent, explore approaches
  2. write-plan → Create detailed plan with checkpoints
  3. doing-tasks → Execute with skill discipline
  4. verify-task → Confirm completion

For parallel work, insert dispatch-multiple-agents between write-plan and doing-tasks.

Ongoing Tasks File

Location:

memory/tasks/ongoing-tasks.md

Tracks all long-running and infinite tasks. Updated by heartbeat to:

  • Check task health
  • Detect blockers
  • Execute due tasks
  • Summarize status
