Why Never Forget Tasks?

Purpose-built for CEO agents that manage teams of AI workers.

📋

Task Assignment

CEO agent assigns tasks to workers with titles, descriptions, deadlines, and clear ownership.

🔗

Dependencies & Pipelines

Express task chains with predecessor/successor IDs. Build DAGs for complex multi-stage workflows.

📊

Progress Reports

One-call summary of overdue, blocked, failed, and in-progress tasks — perfect for periodic CEO check-ins.

🔒

Permission Control

Only the assigned agent can update their own task. Prevents accidental or unauthorized changes.

⚠️

Failure Tracking

Workers must explain why tasks failed or got blocked. Reasons surface in CEO reports for fast follow-up.

🗄️

SQLite Persistence

Single-file database, zero config. Multiple agents and processes can share the same task store.

Three ways to integrate

Choose the form that fits your stack. All share the same core logic.

📚

TypeScript Library

Import TaskStore and report functions directly into your Node/TS scripts or services.

npm install
🔌

MCP Server

Expose task tools via MCP protocol. Works with OpenClaw, Cursor, Claude Desktop — any MCP client.

⚡

OpenClaw Plugin

In-process Agent Tools — no separate process needed. Install once, agents see task tools immediately.
