# duely

A CLI for tracking recurring maintenance tasks. Know what's due, mark it done, and keep a log.

## Why duely?

- **Simple recurring tasks** — No calendar overhead for maintenance chores
- **Overdue alerts** — See what you've been putting off
- **Execution log** — Know when things last ran

## Installation

```bash
brew tap halbotley/tap
brew install duely
```

## Commands

### Add a recurring task

```bash
duely add backups --name "Database backups" --every 1d
duely add vault-review --name "Vault review" --every 3d
duely add oil-change --name "Oil change" --every 90d --start 2025-06-01
```

Intervals: `12h`, `1d`, `3d`, `1w`, `30d`, `90d`, etc.

### List all tasks

```bash
duely list
```

### Show tasks that are due now

```bash
duely due
```

Shows overdue tasks with ⚠️ warnings.

### Mark a task as done

```bash
duely run backups
duely run backups --notes "Full backup completed"
```

### Skip a task (reschedule without running)

```bash
duely skip vault-review
duely skip vault-review --reason "On vacation"
```

### View execution log

```bash
duely log
```

### Remove a task

```bash
duely remove old-task
```

## Agent Integration

duely works well with agent heartbeats or cron-triggered checks:

```bash
# Check for due tasks and act on them
duely due
# After completing the task:
duely run <task-id> --notes "Completed by agent"
```

## Notes

- Task IDs must be lowercase with no spaces
- `--start` defaults to now if not specified
- `--every` accepts hours (h), days (d), and weeks (w)
- Data stored locally in `~/.duely/`
