# Collaboration Helper

Overview

`scripts/collaboration_helper.py` is a lightweight JSON-backed tracker for community action items:

The data lives in `data/tasks.json`, so the collaboration state survives across skill runs and reboots.

CLI usage

Task data structure

Each entry in `skills/collaboration-helper/data/tasks.json` looks like:

{
  "id": <number>,
  "title": "Task title",
  "owner": "owner-name",
  "priority": "low|medium|high",
  "status": "open|in-progress|done",
  "created_at": "2026-02-03T12:00:00Z",
  "note": "optional context"
}

The CLI automatically increments `id`, sets timestamps, and toggles `status` when you complete an item.

Example workflow

python3 skills/collaboration-helper/scripts/collaboration_helper.py add "Document governance" --owner legal --priority high
python3 skills/collaboration-helper/scripts/collaboration_helper.py list
python3 skills/collaboration-helper/scripts/collaboration_helper.py complete 3 --owner legal

This adds a governance action, lists the queue so the team knows what’s pending, and then closes task `3` once it’s done.
