    Sample input

    I need a local Python CLI for my tasks that uses a JSON file for storage. Make it work like nex-task with recurrence and prefix-id matching so I can just type 'task check' with shorthand IDs.

    Sample output

    Project 'nex-task' created! Files: task.py, pyproject.toml, README.md, agent-tool.md, tests/ To install: pip install -e . Usage: task add "Review PR" --due 2024-06-01 --high Check: task check a1b2 (matches UUID prefix) Storage: ~/nex-data/taskboard.json

    About This Skill

    What it does

    Nex Task CLI generates a production-grade, single-file Python task manager modeled after the robust 'nex-task' pattern used in autonomous agent workflows. It provides a JSON-backed, local-first CLI that works seamlessly for both humans and AI agents. It gives your agent a persistent memory for tasks, follow-ups, and recurring schedules without the overhead of a database server or SaaS API.

    Why use this skill

    Building a reliable CLI tool from scratch is time-consuming. This skill automates the creation of a tool that handles complex logic like prefix-ID matching (e.g., 'task check 9f3e'), atomic JSON writes to prevent data corruption, and sophisticated recurrence rules (daily, weekday, weekly, monthly). Unlike a simple prompt, this provides a structured environment with a defined contract, ensuring your agent can predictably schedule its own tasks and report status.

    Supported features

    • Agent-Ready: Every command supports a --json flag for machine-readable output.
    • Zero Dependencies: Built using the Python standard library (argparse, json, pathlib, uuid) with optional 'rich' support for beautiful human-facing UI.
    • Robust Logic: Includes built-in deduplication, task snoozing, and sub-sequence generation for recurring items.
    • Development Kit: Ships with a complete test suite (pytest), packaging (pyproject.toml), and an agent-integration guide.

    Use Cases

    • Create a local-first task manager for developers and agents.
    • Enable an AI agent to schedule and track its own follow-up tasks.
    • Implement a JSON-as-database pattern for simple list-making tools.
    • Deploy a portable CLI todo list that requires zero server setup.
