Introduction

Welcome to AnyTask CLI - AI-native task management for developers and AI agents.

What is AnyTask?

AnyTask CLI is a command-line interface for managing tasks and projects, designed specifically for AI agents and developers working together. It provides Linear-style task management with agent-aware features and powerful AI-assisted commands.

Key Features

🎯 Linear-Style Task Management

  • Human-readable task identifiers (DEV-123, BACKEND-42)
  • Status workflows (backlog β†’ todo β†’ in_progress β†’ done)
  • Priority levels (-2 to 2, higher is more urgent)
  • Task dependencies and blocking relationships
  • Rich terminal UI with color-coded boards

πŸ€– AI Agent Integration

  • Native support for AI agents via API keys
  • Claude Code plugin for IDE integration
  • Automated task execution with declarative workflows
  • Worker system for autonomous task processing
  • Built-in workflows for common development tasks

πŸ”§ Workspace Management

  • Initialize workspace in any project directory
  • Link to backend workspaces
  • Project isolation and organization
  • Active task tracking

⚑ Developer-Friendly

  • Beautiful terminal UI with Rich
  • JSON output for scripting
  • Comprehensive CLI commands
  • Git integration for version control

Use Cases

For Human Developers

  • Daily Task Management: Track and organize your work
  • Team Collaboration: Share task boards and status updates
  • Workflow Automation: Automate repetitive tasks with workers
  • Dependencies: Manage task dependencies and blocking relationships
# View your board
anyt board

# Pick a task
anyt task pick DEV-42

# Work on it...
anyt task done DEV-42

For AI Agents

  • Autonomous Task Execution: Workers automatically process tasks
  • Declarative Workflows: Define automation in YAML
  • Context-Aware: Access full task context and history
  • Error Handling: Graceful failure recovery and notifications
# .anyt/workflows/feature.yaml
name: Feature Development
on:
  task_created:
    labels: ["feature"]
jobs:
  develop:
    steps:
      - uses: anyt/checkout@v1
      - uses: anyt/claude-code@v1
      - run: make test
      - uses: anyt/git-commit@v1
