task-management
Decide where a piece of work should be tracked for the user. Use when starting, finishing, or handing off work that needs a ticket/card, when the user says 'file a task'/'track this'/'add it to the board', when a manual step remains that an agent can't do, or when unsure whether something belongs in Forgejo issues vs Kanboard.

- Decide where a piece of work should be tracked for the user. Use when starting, finishing, or handing off work that needs a ticket/card, when the user says 'file a task'/'track this'/'add it to the board', when a manual step remains that an agent can't do, or when unsure whether something belongs in Forgejo issues vs Kanboard.
# Task management — where work is tracked
Three tracking surfaces, one rule each:
| Surface | For | How |
|---|---|---|
| **Forgejo issues** | work owned by a repo | `forgejo` MCP tools |
| **Kanboard** | cross-project, infra chores, personal | invoke `kanboard` skill |
| **todo_write** | inside this session only | never external |
## Forgejo issues
Work that belongs to a repository — a bug, feature, or refactor whose code
lives in one repo — files as an issue **on that repo**.
- Repos live on ghost: remote `git-ghost` = `git@ghost:222`, web/API at
`https://git.paynepride.com` (token: `~/.local/share/devin/forgejo-token`).
- Agents use the `forgejo` MCP server tools — no extra auth setup.
- PRs auto-close issues via `fixes #N` in the body — link them.
- If the work is also a visible chunk of the user's week, mirror a Kanboard
card that links to the issue URL.
## Kanboard
Everything that isn't repo-owned: infra chores, device work, multi-repo or
non-code tasks, personal errands. Invoke the `kanboard` skill for the API;
pick the board by domain:
| Board | ID | Filed here |
|---|---|---|
| Homelab | 8 | infra/network/pihole/docker chores |
| Homelab Cleanup | 17 | stack-maturity debt only |
| Work | 16 | day-job items |
| Dev | 11 | dev work not owned by one repo |
| Digital Harbor | 3 | client work |
| Gaming / Pilgrim's Creek | 12 / 14 | those hobbies |
**Never** file to Automated Tickets (15) — it's the GitHub-stars
automation feed, not agent work.
## When to file vs when not
File a ticket when:
- the user asks to track something,
- a manual step remains that no agent can do (e.g. physical access,
console login) — describe the step verbatim and include any material it
needs (pubkey, command, path),
- work is being interrupted mid-task — the card captures state for the
next session.
Skip the ticket when: the work is done, it's trivia, or the user is just
asking a question.
## Closing the loop
When tracked work finishes, update the tracker the same turn:
- Kanboard: move to Done *and* `closeTask` (Done column alone leaves it
open).
- Forgejo: comment the outcome; close if no PR will.
- In the reply, cite the tracker link so the user can check it.
