overlane task prioritise

Set a task's priority (P0 to P3) and optionally put it first

Updated View as MarkdownOpen in ChatGPTOpen in Claude

Re-ranks a task. Every change is a ledger event (task.prioritised). With –top the task goes first within its priority. A repeated identical call changes nothing.

Usage

overlane task prioritise task-id --priority P0|P1|P2|P3 [--top] [--reason TEXT] [--dry-run]

Arguments

Argument Required Description
task-id yes The task to re-rank

Flags

Flag Type Required Default Description
--priority one of P0, P1, P2, P3 yes P0 is most urgent, P3 least
--top boolean no Put the task first within its priority
--reason string no Why; kept in the event
--dry-run boolean no Print the requests and file changes this command would make, then stop. Needs no credentials.

Examples

overlane task prioritise task-7 --priority P0 --top
overlane task prioritise task-9 --priority P2 --reason "user said later"

Behavior

  • Effect: write (changes local or hosted state).
  • Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
  • Supports --dry-run: yes. Accepts --force: no.
  • Machine-readable description: overlane schema task prioritise.

Result

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