## Date Formats

- **ISO 8601**: `2024-02-15T14:00:00Z`
- **Date only**: `2024-02-15` (interpreted as midnight UTC)

## Working with Task Lists

The default task list is `@default`. To work with custom lists:

1. Use Google Tasks app to create lists
2. Get list ID from API (not exposed in this skill yet)
3. Pass `tasklist_id` parameter

## Common Workflows

1. **Daily review**: List pending tasks, prioritize
2. **Add reminders**: Create tasks with due dates
3. **Track completion**: Mark tasks done as you finish
4. **Weekly planning**: Create tasks for the week ahead

## Tips

- Tasks without due dates appear at the top of the list
- Completed tasks are hidden by default
- Notes can contain multiline text
- Due dates are in UTC timezone

## Setup Requirements

1. Connect Tasks node to AI Agent's `input-tools` handle
2. Authenticate with Google Workspace in Credentials Modal
3. Ensure Tasks API scopes are authorized
