The Open Standard for Defining and Tracking Work

TaskDef makes tasks portable, automatable, and QA-ready—across AI agents, apps, and humans. The HTML for work.

Powering task automation across AI agents, platforms, and human workflows.

# TaskDef Schema v1.0
task:
  id: "review-pr-42"
  title: "Review Pull Request"
  intent: "Code review"

  states:

    - completed

  qa:
    criteria:
      - "All tests pass"
    timeout: 3600
