Prompt capture
TaskGet tool description
14 model strings share this prompt, byte for byte.
This renders the markdown inside the description, so it isn't quite the description itself. The raw view and the plain text are the bytes as they were sent.
Use this tool to retrieve a task by its ID from the task list.
When to Use This Tool
- When you need the full description and context before starting work on a task
- To understand task dependencies (what it blocks, what blocks it)
- After being assigned a task, to get complete requirements
Output
Returns full task details:
- subject: Task title
- description: Detailed requirements and context
- status: 'pending', 'in_progress', or 'completed'
- blocks: Tasks waiting on this one to complete
- blockedBy: Tasks that must complete before this one can start
Tips
- After fetching a task, verify its blockedBy list is empty before beginning work.
- Use TaskList to see all tasks in summary form.
