Keeps your tasks and memory in sync by pulling assignments from project trackers, triaging stale items, and filling gaps when you reference people or projects Claude doesn't know about. The default mode does a quick sync and decode pass. The comprehensive flag goes deeper, scanning chat, email, and calendar to surface action items you mentioned but never added to your task list. It's the thing you run when you realize your TASKS.md is out of date or you've been dropping commitments in Slack that never made it to your actual workflow. Nothing gets added without your confirmation, so it won't pollute your system with noise.

Update Command

If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.

Keep your task list and memory current. Two modes:

  • Default: Sync tasks from external tools, triage stale items, check memory for gaps
  • --comprehensive: Deep scan chat, email, calendar, docs — flag missed todos and suggest new memories

Usage

/productivity:update
/productivity:update --comprehensive

Default Mode

1. Load Current State

Read TASKS.md and memory/ directory. If they don't exist, suggest /productivity:start first.

2. Sync Tasks from External Sources

Check for available task sources:

  • Project tracker (e.g. Asana, Linear, Jira) (if MCP available)
  • GitHub Issues (if in a repo): gh issue list --assignee=@me

If no sources are available, skip to Step 3.

Fetch tasks assigned to the user (open/in-progress). Compare against TASKS.md:
