JSON / Scripting

Every list command accepts --json / -j:

# Get all high-priority tasks as JSON
ttg task list --priority high --json

# Pipe into jq
ttg task list --all --json | jq '.[] | select(.dueDate != null) | .title'

# Export project task counts
ttg project list --json | jq '.[] | {name, taskCount}'

Common Patterns

# Morning review — what's due today?
ttg task list --due today

# Quick capture while in flow
ttg task add "Follow up with Alex" --due "tomorrow 10am" --med --remind "1h"

# Create a shopping checklist
ttg task add "Groceries" --checklist --items "Eggs,Bread,Milk" --today

# End-of-day — mark things done
ttg task done <id>

# Weekly planning — see everything
ttg task list --all

# Find that task you can't remember
ttg task search "deploy"
