Previously, 'opal -h', 'opal --help', and 'opal help' would show the list command help instead of the root command help. This was because the argument preprocessing logic would rewrite these as 'opal list -h' before Cobra could handle them. Now we detect help flags/command before preprocessing and let Cobra handle them naturally. This ensures: - 'opal -h' and 'opal --help' show root help - 'opal help' shows root help - 'opal help <command>' shows command-specific help - 'opal <command> -h' still shows command-specific help - All existing flexible syntax continues to work
Opal task manager
This is the counterpart to jade, where we track tasks.
Syntax
opal [<filter>] [<command>] [<modifier>]
Filters the Task to run a command on. Adressing a set of subtasks.
opal +home -garden status:pending list - lists all tasks with the +home tag and status pending, but excludes +garden tags. This is a compound filter with implicit AND.
add - Creates a new task
done - Completes a task
list - Lists task
count - Counts number of tasks
Modifies atributes of tasks.
Task
A task has multiple atributes:
status - pending, completed, deleted, recurring
description - One line summary
start - the most recent time at which this task was started (a task with no start key is not active)
end - if present, the time at which this task was completed or deleted
due - Use a due date to specify the exact date by which a task must be completed.created - Time task created
schedueled - represents the earliest opportunity to work on a task. If a task has a scheduled date, then once that date passes, the task is considered ready. Tasks with no scheduled is considered always ready.
wait - a wait date for a task, which has the effect of hiding the task from you until that date.
until - the point at which to mark task as deleted. an expiration date.
Recurrence
A task can be recurring. Then we have a template task and instances of that task.
opal add Change sheets due:sun recur:1w - A task to be done every sunday.
A recurring task is given a status of recurring which hides it from view. The recurring task you create is called the template task, from which recurring tasks instances are created. So the template remains hidden, and the recurring instances that spawn from it are the tasks that you will see and complete.
