Task Dependency Patterns

Overview

Claude Code 2.1.16 introduces a native Task Management System with four tools:

CC 2.1.233 caveat: the Task tools are removed for the newest models unless CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TODO_TOOLS=1 is set in user or managed settings (or the shell). ork cannot ship that flag (CC reads only permissions from plugin settings), so treat every Task-tool call in this skill as conditional on the operator's environment.

• TaskCreate: Create new tasks with subject, description, and activeForm
• TaskUpdate: Update status (pending → in_progress → completed), set dependencies
• TaskGet: Retrieve full task details including blockers
• TaskList: View all tasks with status and dependency summary

Tasks enable structured work tracking, parallel coordination, and clear progress visibility.
