Documentation

README

Excerpt

Task Forest

Purpose

Maintain the current workspace's task structure, proposals, history, and progress. Produce one standalone HTML deliverable that a first-time reader can understand without opening another task list or internal file.

Use the user's language for task content, proposals, reports, and HTML. Default to Chinese when unknown.

Portability

This skill is agent-agnostic. Install the whole task-forest directory in any host-supported skill location, then resolve scripts, references, and assets from the directory containing this SKILL.md. Do not assume a specific agent name, skill root, home-directory layout, shell, path separator, or operating system.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
