# Plan ZenTao Tasks

Zentao planning and updates can require repeated copying, date checks, and manual task status changes. This skill turns task plans into reviewed ZenTao actions with preview-first scripts.

## Install

```bash
npx skillstore add ariesyb/zentao-task-planner

## Capabilities

- Plans task tables with names, requirement IDs, estimates, and start or end dates.
- Finds current or next continuous workdays for schedule planning.
- Lists ZenTao task views and can output summaries or TSV data.
- Previews and optionally creates ZenTao tasks from a standardized TSV plan.
- Previews and optionally finishes, repairs, or closes ZenTao tasks through authenticated scripts.

## Use Cases

- Weekly Task Planning: Create a reviewed task schedule with workday dates, estimates, and standardized task names.
- Task Creation Review: Preview a TSV task plan before creating linked ZenTao tasks for multiple assignees.
- Task Status Maintenance: Preview bulk completion, finish-date repair, or closure actions before updating ZenTao records.

## Prompt Templates

### Plan a Work Week

```
Plan ZenTao tasks for my next work week. Ask for any missing name, requirement ID, dates, or task details before creating the table.
```

### Review Current Tasks

```
List my active ZenTao tasks in summary form and identify which items need planning, completion, or closure review.
```

### Preview Task Creation

```
Use this confirmed task table to preview ZenTao task creation. Do not execute creation until I approve the preview.
```

### Audit and Repair Statuses

```
Preview tasks in this date range that can be finished or repaired. Show the planned changes and wait for approval before any execute command.
```

## Limitations

- Requires local Python dependencies and valid ZenTao environment variables.
- Requires access to a compatible ZenTao instance and account permissions.
- State-changing operations must be reviewed before using the execute flag.
- Task type parsing may fall back to built-in mappings if ZenTao pages cannot be parsed.

## Best Practices

- Keep ZenTao credentials in a private local .env file with limited permissions.
- Run preview commands first and compare every planned change with the source task list.
- Use the execute flag only after the user confirms task IDs, assignees, dates, and estimates.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not store production credentials in a shared repository or synced skill directory.
- Do not execute bulk creation or completion from an unreviewed task table.
- Do not assume dates, task owners, or requirement IDs when the user has not provided them.

## Security Audit

- - Safe to publish: true
- - Audited at: 2026-06-28T10:48:03.655\+00:00
- - Summary: Static findings are partly confirmed: this skill intentionally runs local Python scripts, reads ZenTao credentials from environment files, and makes authenticated requests to a configured ZenTao server. I found no prompt injection attempt or evidence of malicious third-party exfiltration, but the credential handling and state-changing task operations require clear user review and warnings.
