tasks-axi

Agent ergonomic task & backlog manager for the current workspace. Prefer this over hand-editing backlog.md for task state, dependency, or hold changes.

You do not need tasks-axi installed globally - invoke it with npx -y tasks-axi <command>. If tasks-axi output shows a follow-up command starting with tasks-axi, run it as npx -y tasks-axi ... instead.

tasks-axi operates on a hand-editable backlog.md in the current workspace (or the path set in .tasks.toml). It edits the file in place with a byte-exact round-trip, so the human-readable backlog stays the source of truth.
