## Capabilities

- Lists, retrieves, creates, updates, and deletes Google Tasks task lists.
- Lists, retrieves, creates, updates, moves, and deletes individual tasks.
- Clears completed tasks from a selected task list.
- Supports task hierarchy and positioning through the move method.
- Guides method discovery with CLI help and schema inspection commands.

## Use Cases

- Organize Personal Work: Create task lists, add tasks, and reorder priorities from a conversational workflow.
- Maintain Team Checklists: Inspect and update shared operational task data with explicit list and task identifiers.
- Automate Task Administration: Discover CLI schemas and prepare repeatable commands for task list maintenance.

## Prompt Templates

### List My Task Lists

```
Show all Google Tasks lists available to my authenticated account. Present each title and identifier before suggesting any changes.
```

### Create a Task

```
Create a task named [task title] in task list [list identifier], due on [date]. Confirm the details before execution.
```

### Reorganize Tasks

```
List tasks in [list identifier], then move [task identifier] under [parent task identifier] at the requested position. Confirm before changing data.
```

### Plan a Safe Cleanup

```
Inspect [list identifier], identify completed tasks, explain the effect of clearing them, and request confirmation before running any destructive method.
```

## Limitations

- Requires the gws CLI, valid Google authentication, and access to the Google Tasks API.
- Does not provide authentication details without the separate gws-shared prerequisite skill.
- Cannot create tasks assigned from Google Docs or Chat Spaces through the Tasks API.
- Destructive methods can remove related assigned tasks and require careful confirmation.

## Best Practices

- Run help and schema inspection before using an unfamiliar resource method.
- Verify task list and task identifiers before updates, moves, clears, or deletions.
- Request explicit confirmation before every destructive operation.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not guess resource identifiers or required method parameters.
- Do not delete lists or tasks without explaining related assignment effects.
- Do not expose authentication data or include credentials in prompts.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-08-05T11:34:21.181\+00:00
- Summary: All 21 static alerts are false positives caused by Markdown backticks, code fences, and one fixed parent-directory prerequisite reference. No malicious intent or prompt injection was found.
