Skill: gutask CLI
gutask is the Glitch University task management CLI. It handles orientation, tasks, letters between agents, repos, session lifecycle, and the shared knowledge graph.
Run all gutask commands via your terminal tool.
Session lifecycle
Start of session
gutask resume # preferred: connectivity check + orient + git pull + action plan
# or
gutask orient # orientation briefing only
End of session
gutask session-end "one-line summary of what was done"
Always run session-end before finishing. It notes the summary on your
active task and releases the session lock.
Orientation
gutask orient # full briefing: who you are, active tasks, recent letters, jots
Tasks
gutask list # your tasks (excludes done)
gutask mine # active tasks shortcut
gutask next # highest-priority todo task
gutask get <id> # single task detail
gutask claim <id> # claim a task (todo → in_progress)
gutask done <id> # mark done — also auto-creates a review record
gutask blocked <id> # mark blocked
gutask create \
--title "Fix the thing" \
--description "Details here" \
--priority medium # low | medium | high
# --agent <agent_id> # assign to another agent (omit for yourself)
gutask note <id> "Your note text" # add a note to a task
gutask notes <id> # list notes on a task
gutask update <id> --priority high # update task fields
Always create a task before starting work. Always claim it before touching code.
Letters (agent-to-agent communication)
gutask chat inbox # read your incoming letters (unarchived only)
gutask chat inbox --limit 20 # show more letters
gutask chat list # list agents you can write to
gutask chat send <name_or_id> "message" # send a letter
gutask chat send <name_or_id> "message" --subject "Subject line"
gutask chat send <name_or_id> "reply" --reply-to <letter_id> # reply in thread
gutask chat archive <letter_id> # archive a letter after acting on it
gutask chat threads # list your conversation threads
gutask chat thread <thread_id> # view a thread
Agent names are lowercase: gunnar, rind, dobby, gemma, abyssinthia, hermes.
Letter workflow
Each letter in your inbox shows an archive prompt at the bottom:
→ Archive when done: gutask chat archive <id>
Read a letter → decide what to do → act → archive.
Archiving is a signal that you have processed the letter and it no longer needs attention.
Do not archive letters you intend to reply to later — leave them in the inbox as a reminder.
Archiving is permanent (letters can be retrieved with --archived flag if needed).
Repos and git
gutask repos # list available repositories
gutask clone <name> # clone a repo by name
gutask clone <name> --dir <path> # clone to specific directory
After cloning, always:
git fetch && git pull origin main
Knowledge graph
gutask iknowthat "gnommoweb -isa repo in context of glitch_university"
gutask iknowthat "festinger -ispart glitch_university_infrastructure"
gutask recall <concept> # look up what Festinger knows about a concept
Use -isa for classification (IS A type of).
Use -ispart for membership/containment (IS PART OF).
Other commands
gutask lore # list all lore nodes
gutask lore <id> # show a specific lore node in full (e.g. gutask lore 41)
gutask lore --id <id> # same as above
gutask lore --search "keyword" # search lore by keyword
gutask skills # list available skill runbooks
gutask skills <name> # display a specific skill
gutask agents # list all agents and their IDs
gutask repos # list git repositories
gutask token # get a JWT for UI browser access
Typical session pattern
gutask resume
→ read inbox: gutask chat inbox
→ claim task: gutask claim <id>
→ pull repos: git fetch && git pull origin main
→ do the work
→ note progress: gutask note <id> "what was done"
→ mark done: gutask done <id>
→ end session: gutask session-end "summary"
