Update
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 It's the thing you run when you realize your TASKS.md is out of date or you've been dropping commitments in Slack that never made it to your actual workflow.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.
