Task Statuses
todo: The task is yet to be started.
in-progress: The task is currently being worked on.
done: The task has been completed.

Data Storage
Tasks are stored in a JSON file named tasks.json in the same directory as the script.

Example

# Add some tasks
python task_cli.py add "Write unit tests"
python task_cli.py add "Deploy to staging"

# List all tasks
python task_cli.py list

# Mark a task as in-progress
python task_cli.py mark <task_id> in-progress

# Update a task description
python task_cli.py update <task_id> "Deploy to production"

# Delete a task
python task_cli.py delete <task_id>

# List completed tasks
python task_cli.py list done

Additional Notes: The script uses uuid to generate unique IDs for tasks. Timestamps for task creation and updates are recorded in ISO format.
