Task Extractor

When to Trigger

A user message contains 3+ actionable items, mixes asks across different domains, or has a history of dropped tasks.

Process

1. Extract every task from the message — err on the side of capturing more.
2. Number each task explicitly.
3. Track in a hot index: | # | Task | Status | Evidence |
4. Execute each in order (or delegate to appropriate skill).
5. Reconcile after completion — compare extracted list against actual completions.

Example

User: "Fix the deploy bug, update the landing page copy, 
       check if Stripe webhook is working, and email the client"

Extracted:
1. Fix deploy bug → coder
2. Update landing page copy → coder
3. Check Stripe webhook → verifier
4. Email client → GATE (needs approval)

Rules

• Missing a task is worse than capturing an extra one.
• Mark each explicitly: ✅ done | 🔄 in progress | ❌ blocked | ⏭️ deferred.
• At end of run, list any DROPPED tasks — these are the most important to surface.
• If a task needs human approval, mark as GATE and don't execute silently.
