Nex Task CLI generates a production-grade, single-file Python task manager modeled after the robust ‘nex-task’ pattern used in autonomous agent workflows. It provides a JSON-backed, local-first CLI that works seamlessly for both humans and AI agents. It gives your agent a persistent memory for tasks, follow-ups, and recurring schedules without the overhead of a database server or SaaS API.
Building a reliable CLI tool from scratch is time-consuming. This skill automates the creation of a tool that handles complex logic like prefix-ID matching (e.g., ‘task check 9f3e’), atomic JSON writes to prevent data corruption, and sophisticated recurrence rules (daily, weekday, weekly, monthly). Unlike a simple prompt, this provides a structured environment with a defined contract, ensuring your agent can predictably schedule its own tasks and report status.
Supported features:
- Agent-Ready: Every command supports a —json flag for machine-readable output.
- Zero Dependencies: Built using the Python standard library (argparse, json, pathlib, uuid) with optional ‘rich’ support for beautiful human-facing UI.
- Robust Logic: Includes built-in deduplication, task snoozing, and sub-sequence generation for recurring items.
- Development Kit: Ships with a complete test suite (pytest), packaging (pyproject.toml), and an agent-integration guide.
