No Nonsense Tasks

Simple SQLite-backed task tracking. No fluff, no complexity, just tasks that get done.

```
sqlite3
```

Quick Start

Initialize the database:

./scripts/init_db.sh

./scripts/task_add.sh "Build task tracker skill" \
  --description "Create a SQLite-based task manager" \
  --tags "work,urgent" \
  --status todo

List all tasks:

./scripts/task_list.sh

Task Statuses

Tasks flow through four statuses:

backlog - Ideas and future tasks
todo - Ready to work on
in-progress - Currently being worked on
done - Completed tasks

Usage Tips

Typical workflow:

Add new ideas to backlog:

```
task_move.sh <id> --status todo
```
Start work:
```
task_move.sh <id> --status in-progress
```
Complete:
```
task_move.sh <id> --status done
```

Tag organization:

Use tags for categories:
```
work
```
,
```
personal
```
,
```
urgent
```
,
```
bug
```
,
```
feature
```
Combine tags:
```

```
Filter by any tag:
```
task_filter.sh urgent
```

Status filtering:

Focus on current work:
