overlane task delete

Delete a task: it is archived and can be restored for 30 days, then removed

Updated View as MarkdownOpen in ChatGPTOpen in Claude

Archives the task now and removes it after 30 days. A task that holds a lease or has recorded evidence is not deleted: its history is kept, so cancel it or archive it instead.

Usage

overlane task delete [task-id] [--dry-run] [--force]

Arguments

Argument Required Description
task-id no The task to delete

Flags

Flag Type Required Default Description
--dry-run boolean no Print the requests and file changes this command would make, then stop. Needs no credentials.
--force boolean no Confirm a destructive action when there is no terminal to ask on. Without it, exit 2.

Examples

overlane task delete task-7 --dry-run
overlane task delete task-7 --force
overlane task list --archived

Behavior

  • Effect: destructive (deletes or reverts; needs --force without a terminal).
  • Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
  • Supports --dry-run: yes. Accepts --force: yes.
  • Machine-readable description: overlane schema task delete.

Result

With --json (the default when stdout is not a terminal) the command prints this JSON Schema’s shape on stdout.
