How do I mark a task as finished using this skill?

You can use the task-done command followed by the task ID or slug. You can also optionally include a summary of what was accomplished.

Does this skill track how long a task took?

Yes, if the task was previously marked as started, the skill calculates the duration between the start time and the completion time.

Productivity & Workflow

Marks tasks as completed while automatically recording timestamps, calculating duration, and updating project documentation.

The Task Done skill streamlines project management within Claude Code by allowing users to finalize tasks with a single command. It automates the administrative overhead of task tracking by updating a local SQLite database, calculating the time elapsed since the task started, and synchronizing status changes directly into the project's TASK.md file. This ensures that developer progress is accurately logged and documented without requiring manual context switching between the terminal and project management tools.
