archive
Skill0 starsChanged 4 months agoMITView on GitHub
Move completed plainpm tasks older than a threshold (default 30 days) from active project/standalone folders to `data/archive/`. TRIGGER when the user explicitly asks to archive completed work — phrasings like "archive completed tasks", "archive tasks older than <N> days", "archive <project>", "archive <project> tasks older than <N> days", or "clean up old completed tasks". The skill always shows a preview table and asks for confirmation before moving files. SKIP if the user wants to delete or remove tasks — archive is move-only and never destroys files. SKIP for archiving projects/streams themselves (this skill only handles task files).

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
