Tasks

Tasks are Markdown files with a numeric prefix — e.g. 0042 - Fix login bug.md. The prefix is assigned automatically by Banco and increments with each new item.

Status

Each task has a status. For the local provider, status maps to a subdirectory:

StatusDirectory
awaitingtasks/local/backlog/
doingtasks/local/doing/
donetasks/local/done/

For remote providers (GitHub, GitLab), status is stored in a YAML frontmatter block at the top of the file:

---
status: open
tags:
  - bug
---

# Fix login bug

Description here...

status is open or closed. tags mirrors the issue’s labels on the remote provider. Both fields are updated automatically on each banco sync without touching the rest of the file.
