# Tasks ACSet Skill

Transform Google Tasks into an ANIMA-condensed system with GF(3) conservation.

**Trit**: -1 (MINUS - validator)  
**Principle**: Task Zero = Condensed Equilibrium State (all tasks completed)  
**Implementation**: TasksACSet + TriadicQueues + SaturationDetector

## Overview

Tasks ACSet applies the ANIMA framework to task management:

1. **Transform** - Task operations → GF(3)-typed Interactions
2. **Route** - Interactions → Triadic queue fibers (MINUS/ERGODIC/PLUS)
3. **Detect** - Saturation → Task Zero condensed state
4. **Verify** - Narya proofs for consistency

### Objects

| Object | Description | Trit Role |
|--------|-------------|-----------|
| `Interaction` | Single task action with verb + trit | Data |
| `Task` | GTD item with completion state | Aggregate |
| `TaskList` | Container for tasks | Container |
| `Subtask` | Parent-child relationship edge | Edge |
| `Completion` | Task completion event | Node |
| `Agent3` | Queue fiber (MINUS/ERGODIC/PLUS) | Router |
| `QueueItem` | Links Interaction → Agent3 | Edge |

## GF(3) Verb Typing

Task actions are assigned trits based on information flow:

```python
VERB_TRIT_MAP = {
    # MINUS (-1): Consumption/Validation
    "list_tasks": -1,      "get_task": -1,
    "list_task_lists": -1, "get_task_list": -1,
    
    # ERGODIC (0): Coordination/Metadata
    "update_task": 0,      "move_task": 0,
    "update_task_list": 0, "clear_completed_tasks": 0,
    
    # PLUS (+1): Generation/Execution
    "create_task": +1,     "create_task_list": +1,
    "delete_task": +1,     "delete_task_list": +1,
}
```

### MCP Tool → Trit Mapping

| Tool | Trit | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `list_task_lists` | -1 | List all lists (MINUS) |
| `list_tasks` | -1 | List tasks in list (MINUS) |
| `get_task` | -1 | Get task details (MINUS) |
| `get_task_list` | -1 | Get list details (MINUS) |
| `update_task` | 0 | Modify task (ERGODIC) |
| `move_task` | 0 | Reposition task (ERGODIC) |
| `clear_completed_tasks` | 0 | Clean up completed (ERGODIC) |
| `create_task` | +1 | Create new task (PLUS) |
| `create_task_list` | +1 | Create new list (PLUS) |
| `delete_task` | +1 | Delete task (PLUS) |

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

## Saturation Detection

Task saturation occurs when all tasks reach equilibrium:

```python
def is_task_zero(task_list_id: str) -> bool:
    """Task list is at Task Zero when:
    1. All tasks are completed or deferred
    2. GF(3) cycle closure: sum(trits) ≡ 0 (mod 3)
    3. No needsAction tasks remain
    """
    tasks = list_tasks(task_list_id, show_completed=True, show_hidden=True)
    active_tasks = [t for t in tasks if t['status'] == 'needsAction']
    
    cycle_sum = sum(t['gf3_trit'] for t in task_list.gf3_cycle[-3:])
    
    return (
        len(active_tasks) == 0 and  # All complete/deferred
        (cycle_sum % 3) == 0        # GF(3) conserved
    )

def detect_global_task_zero() -> Dict:
    """System at Task Zero when:
    1. All task lists saturated
    2. GF(3) conserved globally
    3. GTD weekly review complete
    """
    lists = list_task_lists()
    all_saturated = all(is_task_zero(l['id']) for l in lists)
    
    return {
        "at_task_zero": all_saturated,
        "condensed_fingerprint": sha256(sorted_completion_ids),
        "gtd_equilibrium": True,
    }
```

**Task Zero as ANIMA**: When all tasks reach completion with GF(3) conservation, the task system is in condensed equilibrium.

## Workflows

### Workflow 1: Task Creation from Email

```python
from tasks_acset import TasksACSet
from gmail_acset import thread_to_task

# MINUS: Read email thread
thread = bridge.get_gmail_thread_content(thread_id)  # trit=-1

# Extract action items
actions = extract_action_items(thread)

# PLUS: Create tasks (balanced by prior MINUS)
for action in actions:
    bridge.create_task(
        task_list_id=default_list,
        title=action.summary,
        notes=f"From thread: {thread_id}",
        due=action.deadline
    )  # trit=+1
```

### Workflow 2: Task Completion with GF(3) Guard

```python
# MINUS first: Get task details
task = bridge.get_task(task_list_id, task_id)  # trit=-1

# ERGODIC: Update status to completed
bridge.update_task(
    task_list_id=task_list_id,
    task_id=task_id,
    status="completed"
)  # trit=0

# Check GF(3) conservation
assert ((-1) + 0) % 3 != 0  # Need PLUS to balance
# PLUS: Log completion
bridge.create_task(
    task_list_id="completions_log",
    title=f"Completed: {task['title']}"
)  # trit=+1, now sum=0 ✓
```

### Workflow 3: Weekly GTD Review with Saturation

```python
# Full GTD review workflow
for task_list in bridge.list_task_lists():  # trit=-1
    tasks = bridge.list_tasks(task_list['id'])  # trit=-1
    
    for task in tasks:
        if task['status'] == 'needsAction':
            # ERGODIC: Decide fate
            if should_defer(task):
                bridge.update_task(task_list['id'], task['id'], 
                                   due=next_week)  # trit=0
            elif should_delete(task):
                bridge.delete_task(task_list['id'], task['id'])  # trit=+1
            elif is_complete(task):
                bridge.update_task(task_list['id'], task['id'],
                                   status="completed")  # trit=0

# Check Task Zero
if detect_global_task_zero()["at_task_zero"]:
    say("GTD review complete. Task Zero achieved.")
```

## Scientific Skill Interleaving

This skill connects to the K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-skills ecosystem:

### Annotated Data
- **anndata** [○] via bicomodule

### Bibliography References

- `general`: 734 citations in bib.duckdb

## Cat# Integration

This skill maps to **Cat# = Comod(P)** as a bicomodule in the equipment structure:

```
Trit: 0 (ERGODIC)
Home: Prof
Poly Op: ⊗
Kan Role: Adj
Color: #26D826
```

### GF(3) Naturality

The skill participates in triads satisfying:
```
(-1) + (0) + (+1) ≡ 0 (mod 3)
```

This ensures compositional coherence in the Cat# equipment structure.
