# Spool
Git-native, event-sourced task management.
Tasks are stored as append-only event logs in your repository. Every change is tracked, branches work naturally, and conflicts resolve automatically.
## Installation
```bash
cargo install spool
```
Or build from source:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/your-username/spool.git
cd spool
cargo install --path .
```
## Quick Start
```bash
# Initialize in your project
spool init
# Create tasks
spool add "Implement authentication" -p p1 -t feature
spool add "Fix login bug" -p p0 -t bug
# List and manage
spool list
spool show task-abc123
spool assign task-abc123 @alice
spool complete task-abc123
# Interactive mode
spool shell
```
## Commands
| `init` | Initialize `.spool/` directory |
| `add` | Create a new task |
| `list` | List tasks with filters |
| `show` | Show task details |
| `update` | Update task fields |
| `assign` | Assign task to user |
| `claim` | Assign task to yourself |
| `free` | Unassign task |
| `complete` | Mark task complete |
| `reopen` | Reopen completed task |
| `shell` | Interactive mode |
| `rebuild` | Regenerate caches |
| `archive` | Archive old tasks |
| `validate` | Check event files |
## How It Works
Spool stores tasks as events in `.spool/events/`:
```
.spool/
├── events/
│ ├── 2024-01-15.jsonl
│ └── 2024-01-16.jsonl
├── archive/
└── .gitignore
```
Events are append-only JSONL. State is materialized by replaying events. Caches (`.index.json`, `.state.json`) are gitignored and rebuilt on demand.
