Task Tracker

A personal task management skill for daily standups and weekly reviews. Tracks work tasks, surfaces priorities, and manages blockers.

What This Skill Does

1. Lists tasks - Shows what's on your plate, filtered by priority, status, or deadline
2. Daily standup - Shows today's #1 priority, blockers, and what was completed
3. Weekly review - Summarizes last week, archives done items, plans this week
4. Add tasks - Create new tasks with priority and due date
5. Complete tasks - Mark tasks as done
6. Extract from notes - Pull action items from meeting notes
