task_create
Create a task for an agent to pick up, with title, description, outcome, priority, and tags. Avoid duplicates by checking task list first.
Instructions
Create a task for yourself or another agent to pick up.
Use when there's a discrete unit of work that should be tracked, may be done by a different agent, or needs to survive across sessions. Check task_list() for duplicates before creating.
Args: title: Short imperative description, e.g. "Fix auth token expiry bug". description: Context, acceptance criteria, or relevant links. expected_outcome: What done looks like — specific, observable result. project: Project scope. Defaults to MCP_PROJECT if set. priority: low, normal (default), or high. tags: Labels for filtering, e.g. ["writing", "infra"].
