Task Tools for Shared Task Management / Claude Code v2.1.16

What

New set of tools for creating and managing tasks that are shared across team members.

Usage

# Create a task
> Use TaskCreate with subject "Implement API endpoint" and description "Create the /users endpoint"

# List all tasks
> Use TaskList to see available tasks

# Update task status or ownership
> Use TaskUpdate with id "1" and status "in_progress" and owner "researcher"

# Get task details
> Use TaskGet with id "1"

Details

TaskCreate: Create new tasks with subject, description, and optional metadata
TaskGet: Retrieve a task by ID
TaskUpdate: Update task status, owner, description, or blocked_by relationships
TaskList: List all tasks showing ID, status, owner, and subject
Tasks support dependency tracking with blocks and blockedBy fields
When a task is completed, blocked tasks become unblocked

Evidence

Or7 at line containing "Create a new task in the task list", Xr7 (TaskCreate prompt), DD1 (TaskGet name), Lr7 (TaskUpdate description)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Other releases about the same thing. Found by shared names or similar wording; neither means one caused the other.
