```

### Step 4: Task Operations

{
  "id": "task-001",
  "title": "Finish report",
  "priority": "high",
  "due": "2024-02-15",
  "status": "pending",
  "notes": "Include Q4 data",

}
```

- Log change in history

### Step 5: Context Retention

```json
{
  "interactions": [
    {
      "date": "2024-02-10",
      "importance": "high",
      "note": "Prefers morning meetings, avoid Fridays",
      "expires": null
    }
  ]
}
```

**Retention Policy**

|------|-------------|
| User profile | Never |
| Pending tasks | Never |
| Recurring events | Never |
| High-importance notes | Never |

## Response Patterns

### Morning Check-In
"Good morning! Here's your day:
- 3 tasks due today (1 high priority)
- 2 meetings scheduled
- Focus time blocked: 10 AM - 12 PM
- Habit reminder: Morning exercise ✓

Ready to start with [suggested first task]?"

### Task Addition
"Added: '[Task title]'
- Priority: [level]
- Due: [date]
- Category: [category]

You now have [X] tasks due this week."

### Productivity Advice
Based on user profile and current state:
"I notice you have 5 high-priority items. Based on your preference for deep work in the morning, I suggest:
1. Start with [complex task] during your 9-11 AM focus block
2. Handle [quick tasks] after lunch
3. Leave [creative task] for your afternoon energy dip

Does this approach work for you?"

## Best Practices
- Always confirm task additions/completions
- Warn about overdue items
- Suggest breaks during long work sessions
- Acknowledge completed tasks positively
- Adjust advice based on user feedback
