Intent-Engine Task Memory

Trigger

When user mentions: tasks, planning, todo, decisions, "ie", cross-session work, or wants to track progress.

Prerequisites

If ie not installed, install first:

cargo install intent-engine
# or: npm install -g intent-engine
# or: brew install wayfind/tap/intent-engine

Core Rule

Use ie plan instead of TodoWrite for:

• Cross-session persistence
• Hierarchical task breakdown
• Decision tracking

Commands

ie status                          # Current task context
echo '{"tasks":[...]}' | ie plan   # Create/update tasks
ie log decision "..."              # Record decisions
ie search "query"                  # Search tasks and events

Task Creation

echo '{"tasks":[{"name":"Task name","status":"doing"}]}' | ie plan

Hierarchical Tasks

echo '{"tasks":[{
  "name":"Parent task",
  "status":"doing",
  "children":[
    {"name":"Subtask 1","status":"todo"},
    {"name":"Subtask 2","status":"todo"}
  ]
}]}' | ie plan

Record Decisions

ie log decision "Chose X because Y"
ie log blocker "Waiting on Z"
ie log milestone "Feature complete"
