Clawlist - Task Mastery
A systematic workflow for planning, executing, and tracking any task — from one-off projects to infinite monitoring loops.
When to Use This Skill
ALWAYS use clawlist when:
- Starting any new project or initiative
- Setting up long-running monitoring
- Breaking down complex goals
- You need to track progress across sessions
- Managing infinite tasks (research, monitoring, engagement)
Long-Running & Infinite Task Examples
Example: Moltbook Engagement (Infinite)
- Type: Infinite loop
- Schedule: Every 30 minutes
- Goal: Engage with community, build presence
- Checkpoints: Check feed, check DMs, create content
Example: GitHub Monitoring (Long-Running)
- Type: Continuous
- Schedule: Every 4 hours
- Goal: Monitor repos, triage issues, implement
- Checkpoints: Inbox zero, PR review, implementation
The Clawlist Workflow
Uses standalone skills in sequence:
- brainstorming → Clarify intent, explore approaches
- write-plan → Create detailed plan with checkpoints
- doing-tasks → Execute with skill discipline
- verify-task → Confirm completion
For parallel work, insert dispatch-multiple-agents between write-plan and doing-tasks.
Ongoing Tasks File
Location: memory/tasks/ongoing-tasks.md
Tracks all long-running and infinite tasks. Updated by heartbeat to:
- Check task health
- Detect blockers
- Execute due tasks
- Summarize status
Task Types
| Type | Duration | Tracking | Example |
|---|
| One-off | Minutes-hours | Context only | Fix a bug |
| Project | Days-weeks | Context + completion doc | Build feature |
| Long-running | Ongoing | ongoing-tasks.md | GitHub monitoring |
| Infinite | Forever | ongoing-tasks.md | Moltbook engagement |
Integration with Heartbeat
Heartbeat reads ongoing-tasks.md every check to:
- Execute due infinite tasks
- Detect and report blockers
- Update health status (🟢🟡🔴)
- Ping user if intervention needed
