Project Management
Project oversight and coordination using Claude native Tasks with persistent plan files.
Principles: Token efficiency | Concise reports | Data-driven insights
When to Use
- Checking project status or progress across plans
- Updating plan statuses after feature completion
- Hydrating/syncing Claude Tasks with plan files
- Generating status reports or summaries
- Coordinating documentation updates after milestones
- Verifying task completeness against acceptance criteria
- Cross-session resume of multi-phase work
Tool Availability
manage_plan capability, manage_plan capability, manage_plan capability, manage_plan capability are CLI-only — disabled in VSCode extension (isTTY check).
| Environment | Task Tools | Fallback |
|---|
| CLI terminal | Available | — |
| VSCode extension | Disabled | manage_plan capability |
Fallback behavior: If Task tools error, use manage_plan capability for progress tracking. Plan file sync-back (checkbox updates, YAML frontmatter) works identically without Task tools. Core PM workflow remains functional.
Core Capabilities
1. Task Operations
Load: references/task-operations.md
Use manage_plan capability, manage_plan capability, manage_plan capability, manage_plan capability to manage session-scoped tasks (CLI only; see Tool Availability above).
- Create tasks with metadata (phase, priority, effort, planDir, phaseFile)
- Track status:
pending → in_progress → completed
- Manage dependencies with
addBlockedBy / addBlocks
- Coordinate parallel agents with scoped ownership
2. Session Bridging (Hydration Pattern)
Load: references/hydration-workflow.md
Tasks are ephemeral. Plan files are persistent. The hydration pattern bridges them:
