Description
Sync TASKS.md current phase and in-progress checklist from the active PLAN.md phase to keep sprint execution aligned.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent with its purpose, but take these precautions before using 'apply': run it in report (dry-run) mode first to confirm detected drift; test with the provided fixtures; ensure PROJECT_NAME exactly matches the heading in TASKS.md; do not point TASKS_FILE at sensitive system or config files because apply mode will overwrite the target file; review formatting of your PLAN.md (the script expects '**Status: IN PROGRESS**' and a '### Work' section) and be aware the regexes are strict and may miss differently-formatted sections.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: tasks-md-sprint-sync
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a utility designed to synchronize task lists between PLAN.md and TASKS.md files based on the current project phase. The implementation consists of a Bash wrapper (sync-tasks-phase.sh) that executes an embedded Python script to perform regex-based parsing and updating of local markdown files. No network activity, data exfiltration, or suspicious execution patterns were found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, required binaries (bash, python3), and the included script all match the stated goal of reading PLAN.md and updating TASKS.md. There are no unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths requested.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md and script limit operations to the provided PLAN_FILE and TASKS_FILE and the specified PROJECT_NAME. In apply mode the script will overwrite the given TASKS_FILE, so ensure you only point it at files you intend to modify. The matching is strict (exact project heading, exact '**Status: IN PROGRESS**' marker and strict section regexes), which may cause false negatives if your markdown formatting differs.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and a small bundled script; nothing is downloaded or written to system locations by an installer.
Credentials
No environment variables, secrets, or external credentials are required. The optional inputs are file paths and a project name appropriate for the task.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request any persistent privileges or modify other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install tasks-md-sprint-sync - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/tasks-md-sprint-sync - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
