| description | Use when executing a task (progress logging, plan updates), when resuming a task after session reset, or when managing task history. Covers progress log format, task-history.json, and resume flow. |
Task Progress
Gotchas
- Push progress log after every meaningful action — don't batch updates; session resets can lose unpushed work
- task-history.json is LRU top 10 — overflow goes to
/home/openhuman/.openhuman/history-tasks/{task-id}.json
- Resume flow reads progress/ latest-first — keep filenames as
YYYY-MM-DD.md for correct sort order
Progress Log
After every meaningful action (completing a sub-step, hitting a problem, making a decision), append to:
/home/openhuman/.openhuman/shared/tasks/{task-id}/progress/YYYY-MM-DD.md
Format (append, don't overwrite):
## HH:MM — {brief action title}
- What was done: ...
- Current state: ...
- Issues encountered: ...
- Next step: ...
Push the task directory after each update:
mc mirror /home/openhuman/.openhuman/shared/tasks/{task-id}/ ${AGENTTEAMS_STORAGE_PREFIX}/shared/tasks/{task-id}/ --overwrite --exclude "spec.md" --exclude "base/"
Task History (LRU Top 10)
File: /home/openhuman/.openhuman/task-history.json
{
"updated_at": "2026-02-21T15:00:00Z",
"recent_tasks": [
{
"task_id": "task-20260221-100000",
"brief": "One-line description of the task",
"status": "in_progress",
"task_dir": "/home/openhuman/.openhuman/shared/tasks/task-20260221-100000",
"last_worked_on": "2026-02-21T15:00:00Z"
}
]
}
Rules:
- New task assigned: add to head of
recent_tasks
- Exceeds 10 entries: move oldest to
/home/openhuman/.openhuman/history-tasks/{task-id}.json
- Status changes: update
status field in recent_tasks
Resume Flow
When your coordinator or admin asks you to resume a task after session reset:
- Read
task-history.json; if not there, check history-tasks/{task-id}.json
- Get
task_dir from the entry
- Task files are already in
/home/openhuman/.openhuman/shared/tasks/{task-id}/ (auto-synced)
- Read
{task_dir}/spec.md, {task_dir}/plan.md, and recent {task_dir}/progress/ files (latest first)
- Continue work and append to today's
progress/YYYY-MM-DD.md
