Overview

Lightweight, file-backed task tracker for async and multi-step work, letting agents and users create, inspect, and complete tasks that persist across OpenClaw sessions.

Key Advantages

1.Persists tasks as simple JSON files under .dex/tasks/, making state durable across sessions and restarts.
2.Git-friendly storage enables change tracking, code review of task history, and easy backup/sync with existing repos.
3.Very low operational complexity: no external services or databases; just local filesystem I/O.
4.Designed around agent workflows (coding dispatches, PR follow-ups, background work), with explicit fields for description, context, and result.
5.Clear, minimal CLI surface (create, list, show, complete, edit, delete) that is easy for both humans and agents to script against.

Use Cases

  • Tracking multi-step coding tasks dispatched to agents, including context (branch, environment) and done-when criteria.
  • Managing follow-ups for PR reviews (e.g., "Re-run tests after dependency bump", "Refactor once feature flag is stable").
  • Recording background or long-running jobs that may complete in later sessions, with final results and decisions captured.
  • Coordinating work that spans multiple OpenClaw sessions, ensuring tasks are not forgotten when the agent restarts.
  • Maintaining a lightweight, repository-local task log that can be versioned and shared via git alongside the codebase.

**Judgement:** Dex is a solid, minimalistic task-tracking skill for async and multi-step work in OpenClaw, especially effective in coding-centric workflows where tasks live alongside the repository. **What it does well:** - Provides durable, cross-session task state via simple JSON files in `.dex/tasks/`. - Maps cleanly to agent workflows with `create`, `list`, `show`, `complete`, `edit`, and `delete` commands. - Git-friendly storage fits naturally into software projects and makes task history reviewable. **Key risks / limitations:** - Very minimal feature set: no priorities, due dates, ownership, tags, or dependency management. - File-based storage gives no explicit concurrency control; heavy multi-agent usage could risk conflicting edits. - Storing rich "context" and "result" directly in files may encourage embedding sensitive details in plain text. **Recommended scenarios:** - Single-user or small-team repositories where agents need to remember and resume tasks across sessions. - Coding agents dispatching work (branches, environments, done criteria) and later recording concrete results and follow-ups. - Lightweight alternative to full task managers when you want tasks co-located with the codebase and under version control. Less suitable for large-scale project management, complex workflows with many collaborators, or environments requiring strict access control and audit trails beyond what git and the filesystem provide.
