Tasks.md

Tasks.md is a lightweight task management approach built around a Markdown file that stays in your repository and integrates with GitHub Issues. It’s designed for teams or individuals who prefer planning in Markdown while still using an issue tracker for assignment, discussion, and status tracking.

Key Features

• Stores tasks in a Markdown file within the repository (easy to review in PRs)
• Synchronizes tasks with GitHub Issues to track work in an issue tracker
• Supports checkbox-style task lists (Markdown) as the primary editing interface
• Keeps task context close to the codebase (works naturally with Git workflows)

Use Cases

• Maintain a project to-do list in the repo while tracking execution via Issues
• Manage lightweight sprint/backlog notes without a separate project tool
• Track personal or small-team tasks alongside source code changes

Limitations and Considerations

• GitHub Issues integration implies reliance on GitHub APIs and GitHub-specific workflows
• Feature set depends on the project’s current implementation; it is not a full PM suite (e.g., advanced roadmaps/reporting)

Tasks.md fits best when you want Markdown-first planning with issue-tracker traceability. It can reduce overhead for small projects by making the task list reviewable in code changes while still leveraging Issues for collaboration.
