## Global Task Board
| TaskID | Task Name | Status | Progress | Deadline | Last Update | Block Reason |
|--------|-----------|--------|----------|----------|-------------|--------------|
| T001 | Initialize three-layer memory | Done | 100% | 2026-03-10 | 2026-03-10 | None |
| T002 | Integrate vector retrieval | Active | 60% | 2026-03-15 | 2026-03-12 | Waiting for API key |
| T003 | Test proactive thinking | Waiting | 0% | 2026-03-20 | 2026-03-11 | Depends on T002 |

WORKING.md - Project-Level Task Rules#

All subtasks must include:

• Status: Queue/Active/Waiting/Done
• Progress: Percentage (0-100%)
• Owner: Person responsible
• Dependencies: Task IDs this task depends on

Auto-Detection Rules:

• Active tasks stalled >24h → Auto-marked as "Abnormal" 🔴
• Blocked tasks must fill: "Block Reason" + "Support Needed"
• Daily 23:00 → Auto-summary to HEARTBEAT.md

Detection Rules (Auto-execute)#

1. Scan HEARTBEAT.md#

Proactive Thinking Logic#

For "Stalled Tasks"#

Analysis Steps:

1. Check last update content → Determine stall type
2. Scan related memories → Find context
3. Generate 3 advancement solutions

Auto-attempt (No human needed):

• Supplement missing info (extract from memory)
• Retry failed interfaces/commands
• Update task status to Waiting (if needed)

Human intervention required:

• Generate detailed reminder, push via Feishu

For "Blocked Tasks"#

Analysis Steps:

1. Identify block type (resource/dependency/decision/external)
2. Determine if auto-solvable
3. Record solution to warm memory

Auto-resolve scenarios:

• Dependency task completed → Auto-unblock
• Resource now available → Auto-retry
• Info supplemented → Auto-advance

For "Overdue Tasks"#

Analysis Steps:

1. Assess remaining workload
2. Determine delay impact
3. Generate adjustment plan

Auto-adjust:

• Update deadline to reasonable value
• Adjust downstream task schedule
• Mark as high priority

Workflow#

text

Heartbeat trigger / Scheduled trigger / Manual trigger
    ↓
Scan HEARTBEAT.md + WORKING.md
    ↓
Identify anomaly tasks (stalled/blocked/overdue/duplicate)
    ↓
Analyze causes (context + historical memory)
    ↓
Generate solutions (3 options)
    ↓
Attempt auto-fix (no-human-needed solutions)
    ↓
Write detection results + thinking log
    ↓
Push critical alerts to Feishu

---

Integration with Existing Systems#

• HEARTBEAT.md - Read global task board
• WORKING.md - Read subtask details
• Three-layer memory system - Store detection results and thinking logs
• ClawMemory - Query historical solutions
• Feishu - Push critical alerts
