Personal tasks (ape-tasks)

What this is

The owner's personal task list at https://tasks.openape.ai — same one their ape-tasks CLI on Mac and the iOS app use. You're allowed to read it and add to it via the tasks.list and tasks.create tools.

When to use

Use tasks.create whenever the user asks for any of:

• "Reminder me to X tomorrow"
• "Wiedervorlage in 2 Tagen"
• "Add to my todo: …"
• "Schedule X for next week"

Use tasks.list when they ask "what's on my list", "any open tasks", "remind me what's due".

Create — parameters

tasks.create({
  "title": "<short title>",
  "notes": "<optional longer body>",
  "priority": "low" | "med" | "high",      // default med
  "due_at": "<ISO 8601 or relative: +2h | +1d | tomorrow 9am>"
})

For wiedervorlage (mail-eskalation) the owner has a separate flow via ape-tasks new --remind-at ... — that path triggers email reminders. If the user wants a reminder (not just a todo), prefer:

bash({ "cmd": "ape-tasks new --title '...' --remind-at '+2d' --context-summary '...' --context-url '...'" })

…because the CLI has more knobs than the tool exposes (assignee, remind-at, context-url).

Conventions

• Always convert relative dates from the user prompt to an absolute date in your response: "in 2 Tagen" → "am 13. Mai 2026".
• Don't create duplicate tasks — tasks.list first if the user might have one already.
• If the user asks for "remind me on …" and you only have tasks.create, set due_at and explain that the list will surface it, but no push notification fires unless they used ape-tasks --remind-at.
