Task Tracking with HTML Dots
Use the dot-html CLI from Randroids-Dojo/dots-html to track work items across sessions. This fork stores dots as .html documents under .dots/.
Preflight
Check for the CLI:
command -v dot-html >/dev/null 2>&1 && dot-html --version
If dot-html is missing, install this fork:
plugins/task-tracking-dots-html/scripts/install-html-dots.sh
When installed from a global skill, run the script from the installed skill directory. If the release has no matching binary asset for the current OS/architecture, the script clones https://github.com/Randroids-Dojo/dots-html and builds with Zig.
Session Workflow
At the start of every session:
dot-html ls
dot-html ready
Before starting work:
dot-html on <id>
After completing work:
dot-html off <id> -r "What was done"
Never leave completed tasks open. Close with a short reason.
Creating Dots
dot-html "Fix the bug"
dot-html add "Design API" -p 1 -d "Details"
dot-html add "Subtask" -P dots-1
dot-html add "After X" -a dots-2
Inspecting Work
dot-html ls
dot-html ready
dot-html show dots-1
dot-html tree
dot-html find "query"
File Storage
New dots are stored as HTML files:
.dots/
dots-example-1234abcd.html
dots-parent-2345bcde/
dots-parent-2345bcde.html
dots-child-3456cdef.html
The CLI owns these files. Prefer dot-html commands for changes so status, dependencies, archive moves, and parent-child paths stay consistent.
