Does it support relative dates like 'next Monday'?

Yes, it includes a date resolution table that automatically converts relative terms like 'today', 'tomorrow', or 'next Friday' into standardized YYYY-MM-DD formats.

How does the skill handle tasks mentioned as 'we should' or 'the team'?

The skill applies a strict accountability test; it will skip tasks assigned to 'Team' or 'We' without a specific lead to ensure every item has a clear, actionable owner.

Can it help clean up old, forgotten tasks?

In Manage Mode, the skill identifies items older than 90 days and provides pruning recommendations to help you archive or delete stale backlog entries.

How do I know if a task was actually saved to my list?

The skill performs a mandatory verification step by querying the destination list after creation. It only reports a task as 'Created' if it is confirmed present in the system.
