Tasks tool / sidebar panel

[agustif]

I wanted to have a similar to-do / tasks ui than other agentic AI on crush.

would this be interesting for upstreaming with a PR?

thinking about making a separate planner tool that can reuse the -tasks- tool to manage these

also could be nice to add a UI panel on the TUI for the user to handle tasks manually if need be

[agustif]

I've now way over-engineered this and tasks live on the database and are tied to sessions.

Also made dependsOn/blockedBy so the agent can handle sub tasks.

i also backup the tasks into a TASKS.md, cause portability

maybe it would be nice to have plugins instead of bake it into core, or have it disabled by default

What's your process - are you implementing a full tool?

[agustif]

yeah i made a tasks tool + new db model for it and added a side panel ui

@agustif how dar is this from Claude Flow? Asking from #786

Oh man @agustif talk about a coincidence -- I've proposed something similar in #743 and I have a draft PR up for it that you can try out #746

one difference in our approaches is using the sqlite DB vs using a TASKS.md file. that's an interesting idea!

imo the value of the tasks is pretty ephemeral though. using a markdown file suggests tasks with a longer lifetime like in a plan or PRD. what sort of use cases did you have in mind for your approach?

Cheers

actually dang this is from like 2 weeks ago! not sure why I didn't see it before I did my own implementation. I did search the repo first for a discussion! go figure.

no problem at all

i kinda wanted full project management so went for dependsOn blocker and other such extras.

havent really used it much nor did i publish a PR wo kudos on your work
