Task Detection + Proactive Thinking

Incomplete task detection + proactive thinking. Automatically scans task status, identifies anomalies, generates solutions, and attempts auto-fixes.

Task Detection + Proactive Thinking Skill

Automatically detect task anomalies, intelligently analyze causes, and proactively propose solutions

Trigger Conditions

Scenario	Trigger Method
Auto-trigger	Execute during Heartbeat detection
Manual trigger	User inputs "check tasks", "task status", "anomaly detection"
Scheduled trigger	Auto-scan every 6 hours

Task Management File Standards

HEARTBEAT.md - Global Task Board Template

markdown

## Global Task Board
| TaskID | Task Name | Status | Progress | Deadline | Last Update | Block Reason |
|--------|-----------|--------|----------|----------|-------------|--------------|
| T001 | Initialize three-layer memory | Done | 100% | 2026-03-10 | 2026-03-10 | None |
| T002 | Integrate vector retrieval | Active | 60% | 2026-03-15 | 2026-03-12 | Waiting for API key |
| T003 | Test proactive thinking | Waiting | 0% | 2026-03-20 | 2026-03-11 | Depends on T002 |

Status Definitions:

Status	Meaning
Queue	Waiting to start
Active	In progress
Waiting	Blocked/Waiting
Done	Completed
Aborted	Cancelled

WORKING.md - Project-Level Task Rules

All subtasks must include:

• Status: Queue/Active/Waiting/Done
• Progress: Percentage (0-100%)
• Owner: Person responsible
• Dependencies: Task IDs this task depends on

Auto-Detection Rules:

• Active tasks stalled >24h → Auto-marked as "Abnormal" 🔴
• Blocked tasks must fill: "Block Reason" + "Support Needed"
• Daily 23:00 → Auto-summary to HEARTBEAT.md

---

Detection Rules (Auto-execute)

1. Scan HEARTBEAT.md

Detection Item	Condition	Mark
Stalled tasks	Active status + last update > 24h	🔴 Stalled
Pending confirmation	Waiting status + empty block reason	🟡 Pending
Overdue tasks	Progress < 100% + deadline < current time	🔴 Overdue
No progress tasks	Active status + 0% progress for > 48h	🟡 No progress
Abnormal tasks	Active + no update > 24h	🔴 Abnormal

2. Scan WORKING.md

Detection Item	Condition	Mark
Dependency block	Downstream blocked by incomplete upstream	🔗 Dependency block
Duplicate tasks	Task name/content similarity > 80%	⚠️ Duplicate
Zombie tasks	Done status but no completion time	👻 Zombie
Meaningless tasks	Empty title or content < 10 chars	🗑️ To clean
Missing required fields	No status/progress/owner	⚠️ Incomplete

Proactive Thinking Logic

For "Stalled Tasks"

Analysis Steps:

1. Check last update content → Determine stall type
2. Scan related memories → Find context
3. Generate 3 advancement solutions

Auto-attempt (No human needed):

• Supplement missing info (extract from memory)
• Retry failed interfaces/commands
• Update task status to Waiting (if needed)

Human intervention required:

• Generate detailed reminder, push via Feishu

For "Blocked Tasks"

Analysis Steps:

1. Identify block type (resource/dependency/decision/external)
2. Determine if auto-solvable
3. Record solution to warm memory

Auto-resolve scenarios:

• Dependency task completed → Auto-unblock
• Resource now available → Auto-retry
• Info supplemented → Auto-advance

For "Overdue Tasks"

Analysis Steps:

1. Assess remaining workload
2. Determine delay impact
3. Generate adjustment plan

Auto-adjust:

• Update deadline to reasonable value
• Adjust downstream task schedule
• Mark as high priority

Output Rules

Output Type	Location	Trigger Condition
Detection results	memory/hot/task-alert.md	After each detection
Thinking conclusions	memory/hot/thinking-log.md	After each analysis
Critical alerts	Feishu push	Overdue/serious block
Solutions	memory/warm/lessons_learned.md	Record after resolution

---

Workflow

text

Heartbeat trigger / Scheduled trigger / Manual trigger
    ↓
Scan HEARTBEAT.md + WORKING.md
    ↓
Identify anomaly tasks (stalled/blocked/overdue/duplicate)
    ↓
Analyze causes (context + historical memory)
    ↓
Generate solutions (3 options)
    ↓
Attempt auto-fix (no-human-needed solutions)
    ↓
Write detection results + thinking log
    ↓
Push critical alerts to Feishu

---

Integration with Existing Systems

• HEARTBEAT.md - Read global task board
• WORKING.md - Read subtask details
• Three-layer memory system - Store detection results and thinking logs
• ClawMemory - Query historical solutions
• Feishu - Push critical alerts
