Auto-save on stop (v1.2.0+): Every completed task is automatically saved to ClawVault:

tasktime start "Build API" -c coding
# ... do the work ...
tasktime stop --notes "Finished in record time"
# ✅ Completed: Build API
# 🐘 Saved to ClawVault              ← automatic!

Manual sync and export:

tasktime sync                       # Sync full report to ClawVault
tasktime sync --days 30             # Sync last 30 days
tasktime export                     # Export as markdown
tasktime stop --no-vault            # Skip auto-save for one task

Demo Data

tasktime seed                       # Seed sample data (empty DB only)

Use Cases for Agents

Benchmarking Learning

Track how long similar tasks take over time to measure learning progression:

tt start "Implement OAuth flow" -c auth
# ... do the work ...
tt stop --notes "Used passport.js, took 20min less than last time"

Sync to ClawVault

Persist task data to your agent's memory vault:

# After completing work
tasktime sync

# Or pipe export to clawvault
tasktime export | clawvault store --category research --title "Task Report"

Category-Based Analytics

Group tasks to understand time allocation:

tt report --days 7
# Shows time breakdown by category: coding, research, testing, docs, etc.

Quick Status for Prompts

Add current task to your shell prompt:

PS1='$(tasktime now) \$ '
# Shows: ⏱️ Build API (23m) $
