Verk Task Management

Available Commands

Tasks

• List tasks: node scripts/verk-cli.mjs tasks list [--status STATUS] [--priority PRIORITY] [--search QUERY]
• Get task: node scripts/verk-cli.mjs tasks get <taskId>
• Create task: node scripts/verk-cli.mjs tasks create --title "Title" [--description "Desc"] [--status STATUS] [--priority PRIORITY] [--assigned userId1,userId2]

• Status: Backlog, Todo, In-Progress, Review, Done

When to Use Each Command

• When asked to see what tasks exist, use tasks list. Add --status or --priority to filter, or --search to find specific tasks.
• When asked about a specific task, use tasks get <taskId>.
• When asked to create a task, use tasks create with at least a --title.
• When asked to update, change, or modify a task, use tasks update <taskId> with the fields to change.
• When asked to mark a task as done/complete, use tasks update <taskId> --status Done.
• When asked to assign a task, use tasks update <taskId> --assigned userId.
• When asked to delete or remove a task, use tasks delete <taskId>.
• When asked to comment on or add a note to a task, use tasks comment <taskId> --text "...".
• When asked about projects, use projects list.
• When asked about automation workflows, use flows list.
• To see comments on a task, use tasks get <taskId> — comments are included in the task response.

Output Format

All commands return JSON. Parse the output to extract relevant information for the user. When listing tasks, summarize key fields (title, status, priority, assignee) rather than dumping raw JSON.
