Task #100: Task Number Audit & Standardization
Created: April 8, 2026
Created By: Chronicler #69 (The Surveyor)
Priority: P4 (Low - Address when issues arise)
Status: Open
Overview
During the mobile task index implementation, we discovered that many legacy tasks never had official task numbers assigned. We added task_number: to YAML frontmatter for 26 tasks that had documented numbers, but ~30 tasks remain unnumbered.
Current State
- 57 total task folders in
docs/tasks/ - 26 tasks have
task_number:in frontmatter - ~31 tasks are unnumbered legacy tasks
When To Address
Monitor for issues:
- New tasks should ALWAYS include
task_number:in frontmatter - If unnumbered tasks cause confusion, batch-assign numbers
- If mobile task index sorting is problematic, prioritize this task
Standard for New Tasks
All new tasks MUST include in frontmatter:
---
task_number: XXX
status: open | blocked | complete
priority: P1 | P2 | P3 | P4
owner: Michael | Meg | Holly
created: YYYY-MM-DD
---
Next Available Task Number
Check highest existing number before creating new tasks:
grep -rh "^task_number:" docs/tasks/ | sort -t: -k2 -n | tail -1
As of April 8, 2026: Next available = #101
Archive Threshold
