Structure

  • The source hub's security checks flagged this skillGen Agent Trust Hub: warn (The skill allows updating tasks in external services like GitHub and Linear. It is categorized as medium risk because it constructs shell commands using task data, which could be exploited for command injection if the data contains special characters. It is also susceptible to indirect prompt injection from external task descriptions.)

# groove-utilities-task-update

## Outcome

A task's status, body, or metadata is updated in the configured backend. Progress notes are appended without overwriting existing content. When completing a task, a resolution (Summary of Changes or Reasons for Scrapping) is written to the task body before marking done.

## Acceptance Criteria

- Specified fields are updated in backend
- Existing body content is preserved; new content is appended
- Completed tasks have a "Summary of Changes" or "Reasons for Scrapping" section in body
- User confirms before task is marked as completed or scrapped

## Constraints

- Read `tasks.backend` from `.groove/index.md` to determine backend
- If `tasks.backend: none`, no-op with friendly message
- Never mark a task completed without a resolution section in the body
- Ask user to provide resolution if task body has none
- User must explicitly confirm completion — do not auto-complete
- Progress notes should be appended as dated bullets under a "Progress" section
- Backend mappings:
  - `beans`: `beans update <id> -s <status>` and `beans update <id> -d "<body>"`
  - `linear`: update issue via linear CLI or MCP
  - `github`: `gh issue edit <number> --body "<body>"` and label/close commands
