Taskope

Taskope is a local-first personal ticket board, daily-task planner, worklog, and performance-summary tool built for Visual Studio Code.

What Taskope does

• Organizes personal work on a customizable ticket board.
• Links dated daily tasks to tickets while also supporting standalone tasks.
• Records progress, decisions, blockers, notes, and time spent in a worklog.
• Creates an editable-skill-driven daily stand-up update from the previous day’s worklogs and completed tasks.
• Tracks achievements such as mentoring, learning, people management, and cross-team support.
• Generates annual, half-year, and quarterly work summaries using a language model already available through VS Code.
• Preserves saved summary versions and keeps a backup of the local data file.

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code Desktop 1.102 or later.
• No workspace folder is required.
• Taskope is a local UI extension. It does not run in Remote SSH, Dev Containers, Codespaces, or VS Code for the Web.

Install

From the Visual Studio Marketplace

Open the Extensions view in VS Code, search for Taskope, and select Install.

From a VSIX

1. Open the Extensions view.
2. Open the Views and More Actions… menu.
3. Select Install from VSIX….
4. Choose the Taskope .vsix file.

Open Taskope

Open the Command Palette and run Taskope: Open Board. Taskope opens in its own editor panel and works without an open project or workspace folder.

Local data and privacy

Taskope stores its data locally in ~/.taskope/data.json and maintains ~/.taskope/data.backup.json during subsequent saves. Appearance settings and editable report and daily stand-up skill files are kept in the same local directory.

Taskope does not include telemetry or send data to a Taskope-operated server. All non-AI features work without a language model or network request.

On first use, Taskope creates a small set of removable guide tickets. They demonstrate moving cards, contextual menus, Daily Tasks, worklogs, importance, achievements, summaries, and ways to improve an AI-generated report. Guide tickets are excluded from review summaries.

AI generation is optional and starts only when you select Generate AI summary or Daily-standup summary. At that point, the work records needed for that request are sent through VS Code's Language Model API to the model vendor selected in Taskope settings. VS Code controls model availability and consent. Review your selected model provider's terms and privacy practices before using these features with sensitive work information.

See PRIVACY.md in the distributed package for the complete data-handling summary.
