I’ve been using trello (wrote my own skill) and I know linear is the “new hot” version of trello. But ultimately those are primarily made for humans, not agents. I also much prefer file-based task tracking when working with ai agents. There’s beads which is popular (26k stars), but it’s quite bloated. Most of the time I just create markdown files in a features folder then I move the files to features/implemented when completed, and then I just tell claude to use them, but it’s a bit messy. What’s needed is a system that is easy for the llm to grok (they’re reading the instructions every single time, so it has to be short too) and that supports doing things like splitting issues (the llm solved half of an issue but left some things for the future -> the new thing should be a new issue that refers back to the OG issue - and the LLM should know to do this on their own) and relative priority (discrete priority is a sham, it never works - everything just gets “top priority”). submitted by /u/Ran4
