Setup & Installation
openclaw skills install @paulpete/find-code-tasks
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install find-code-tasks
What This Skill Does
Scans a repository for `.code-task.md` files and displays their status, dates, and metadata. Supports filtering by status and multiple output formats including table, JSON, and summary counts.
Centralizes task backlog visibility without opening individual files or relying on external project management tools.
When to use it
- Reviewing pending tasks at the start of a work session
- Checking which tasks are in progress before picking up new work
- Exporting task data as JSON for scripts or reporting tools
- Getting a quick count of tasks by status
- Finding blocked tasks that need attention
