# Work Management

> Track human tasks, choose what to do next, and schedule reminders or check-ins.

## Commands at a glance

| Command                    | What it does                                   |
| -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `/work`                    | List open work items                           |
| `/work add <title>`        | Add a durable task                             |
| `/work done <id-or-title>` | Mark one or more tasks completed               |
| `/work next`               | Rank open tasks by priority, due date, and age |
| `/work path`               | Print the local work-item store path           |
| `opensre work ...`         | Script the same workflow from the terminal     |

Use `/tasks` for OpenSRE runtime jobs. Use `/work` for human todos, hackathon
work, reminders, and follow-ups.

## Natural language

You can ask normally:

```text theme={null}
Add task "finish Slack reminder smoke test" for the hackathon, priority high.
```

```text theme={null}
Give me an overview of all tasks that still need to be completed.
```

```text theme={null}
What should I focus on next?
```

```text theme={null}
Mark the docs and CLI tasks as completed.
```

The agent stores these as work items and uses the same store when ranking or
listing them later.

## Reminders and check-ins

One-off reminders:

```bash theme={null}
opensre work add "ping owners about demo blockers" \
  --project hackathon --priority high \
  --remind-at 2026-07-30T09:30 \
  --provider slack --chat-id C0123ABCD
```

Recurring check-ins:

```bash theme={null}
opensre work schedule-checkin \
  --cron "0 9 * * 1-5" \
  --tz Europe/London \
  --target slack:C0123ABCD \
  --target telegram:-100123456 \
  --project hackathon
```

Slack and Telegram gateway turns can default reminders and recurring check-ins
to the current chat. Terminal commands require either `--provider` and
`--chat-id`, or one or more `--target` flags.
Use repeated `--target provider:chat_id` flags to send the same reminder or
check-in to more than one service. Slack webhook delivery may use `--target
slack` without a channel id; Telegram, Discord, and Rocket.Chat need explicit
chat/channel ids.

## Storage

Work items are stored locally as JSON under `~/.opensre/work_items/` by default.
Set `OPENSRE_WORK_ITEMS_DIR` to choose another folder. Existing entries from the
old Slack captured-task JSONL store are imported once into the new work-item
store.

Recurring check-ins are stored in OpenSRE's scheduler store and run whenever the
gateway scheduler or `opensre cron start` is active.
