Best for
- Plans that stopped matching reality weeks ago
- Seeing instantly which milestone each task serves
- Resuming a project after time away
What you give it
- News: tasks added, finished, blocked or dropped
What you get back
- The breakdown updated with dates and reasons
- Orphan tasks (no milestone) flagged instead of hidden
- A clean 'what is next' answer derived from the plan
How it works
- Reads the breakdown and the milestone list before changing anything.
- Applies each piece of news as a dated status change.
- Slots new tasks under the milestone they serve, or flags the orphan.
- Keeps cancelled work visible with its reason — history is part of the plan.
- Summarises what changed and what is now next.
Example
You: Mark the import tool done, add two tasks for the notification emails, and the API migration is blocked on the vendor.
Result: Import marked done with today's date, two tasks added under the communications milestone, the migration marked blocked with the reason — and a note that one new task fits no current milestone.
Limits — please read
- It records reality; it cannot know what you did not tell it.
- Milestones themselves belong to your planning pass, not this skill.
- It orders by dependency and priority, not by calendar estimates.
