**Provider-neutral by design.** Nothing below names a task-tracker provider, a file format or an
API - only the tracker's generic role. That is deliberate: this skill is the one document that
must read identically in every instance, whichever tracker it runs against. Anything the tracker
itself must do - add a task, reschedule a reminder, remove an item - is described as an action the
user takes in their tracker: a deliberate choice, not a gap in `wikitool`'s GTD command surface,
which also carries `task new` (tracker item only, no page) alongside `review` (read-only) and
`new project` (page + tracker project creation) - this skill simply does not call it. The
reasoning behind keeping the tracker and `kb/gtd/` on separate write paths lives in
`docs/knowledge-and-commitment.md`, which this skill does not repeat - do not reach for a
tracker-specific tool or API to "just do it faster".
must read identically in every instance, whichever tracker it runs against.
**What this skill may write to the tracker, and what it may not.** `wikitool`'s GTD command
surface offers exactly two tracker-side writes - `task new` (create one item) and `task close`
(mark one item done, never delete it) - alongside `review` (read-only) and `new project` (page +
tracker project creation). This skill proposes both writes at the specific findings below, always
after the user confirms the exact call, never on its own initiative - the same posture
`wiki-ingest` takes toward its own commitment question ("propose one and let the user confirm or
correct it"). Everything else a tracker item can need - moving a reminder forward, removing an
item outright - stays the user's own action in their tracker: that is a deliberate line, not a gap
in the command surface waiting to be filled. Do not reach for a tracker-specific tool or API to
"just do it faster" for either half. The reasoning behind keeping the tracker and `kb/gtd/` on
separate write paths, and behind stopping at "create" and "mark done" rather than a fuller CRUD
surface, lives in `docs/knowledge-and-commitment.md`, which this skill does not repeat.

| Check | What fired | Options | How to tell them apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| `stalled` | A tracker project has zero open items and its `kb/` page is `state: active` | (a) A next action is genuinely missing - add one in the tracker. (b) The initiative is deliberately paused - `tools/wikitool touch --page "<Title>" --set state=dormant`. (c) It is actually finished or given up on - `--set state=completed` or `--set state=abandoned` | Read the page's `## Ziel` and `## Status` sections and ask the user directly: is there still a next step toward that goal, or did this stop for a reason? A pause that was never decided is (a); a pause that *was* decided is (b), never left as `active` with nothing moving |
| `waiting_overdue` | A `WAITING` item's `follow_up_at` is older than the threshold | (a) Follow up now, then move the reminder forward in the tracker. (b) The commitment is no longer needed - remove or close it in the tracker | Did the person the item names actually come through, and is the ask still relevant? If yes but late, (a); if the need has passed, (b) - never leave the same stale date standing unexamined |
| `stalled` | A tracker project has zero open items and its `kb/` page is `state: active` | (a) A next action is genuinely missing - propose `tools/wikitool task new --title "<title>" --project "<project>"` with a title the user confirms or corrects, asked as one combined question ("Create '<title>' in project '<project>'?"), then run it once confirmed. (b) The initiative is deliberately paused - `tools/wikitool touch --page "<Title>" --set state=dormant`.

A pause that was never decided is (a); a pause that *was* decided is (b), never left as `active` with nothing moving |
| `waiting_overdue` | A `WAITING` item's `follow_up_at` is older than the threshold | (a) Follow up now, then move the reminder forward in the tracker - the user's own action, there is no `wikitool` command for it. (b) The commitment is no longer needed - propose `tools/wikitool task close --id "<id>"` (the finding's own `item_id`), asked as one combined question naming the item's title and id, then run it once confirmed | Did the person the item names actually come through, and is the ask still relevant? If yes but late, (a); if the need has passed, (b) - never leave the same stale date standing unexamined |
| `unpaged_project` | A tracker project has no `kb/` page, past the age threshold | (a) It has grown a memory worth keeping (participants, decisions, context) - `tools/wikitool new project --name "<Name>" --set responsibility=<area>`. (b) It genuinely never needs one - confirm and leave it tracker-only | Ask: would anyone, including the operator in six months, need to know *why* this exists or who is in it? If yes, (a); a project that is fully explained by its own title and task list stays (b) |
| `no_open_loop` | A `kb/` page is `state: active` but its tracker project is missing or empty | (a) Same three options as `stalled` above. (b) The name diverged - a rename happened on one side only | Before assuming a stall, check whether a *similarly* named tracker project exists. If it does, this is `instructions/page-lifecycle.md`'s rename case (`tools/wikitool rename` for the page, plus renaming the tracker project to match), not a state change - the review reports both directions of a rename so it never has to be inferred silently |
| `someday_stale` | A someday/maybe item has not been touched past the threshold | (a) Activate it - give it a page with `tools/wikitool new project` if it is ready to become a committed initiative. (b) Strike it - remove it from the tracker. (c) Leave it - still genuinely "maybe" | Would the user commit to starting this today? If yes, (a). If it no longer belongs on the list at all, (b). If it is still worth keeping but not yet, (c) is a legitimate answer, not inaction - do not force a decision the user is not ready to make |
