Task management

Where agent work gets planned and tracked: markdown-native trackers, graph-backed issue databases, and the pipelines that turn PRDs into typed tasks.

Backlog.md - the markdown-native task manager whose three review gates, spec, plan, code, make it the first line of code review.
beads - Steve Yegge’s Dolt-backed graph issue tracker, dependency-aware with atomic claims, the agent-memory thesis in running code.
Ordewell - the CLI that turns one goal into typed plan artifacts with per-task runners and models, verified by completion markers rather than the model’s word.
Task Master - the most-installed PRD-to-tasks pipeline, quiet since April 2026 as it became Hamster’s Commons-Clause commercial engine.

Its members are compared on shared rows in the Task Management Feature Matrix.
