# Handle Agents Local Tasks
## Purpose
Guide the agent through reading the repo's local task workspace under `.agents/tasks/` — the lightweight `TODO.md` notes list and the tracked task folders in `new/`, `open/`, and `closed/` — picking the next actionable item, executing it with normal coding discipline, and keeping the folder location, `status` frontmatter, and notes in sync with reality.
## When to use this skill
- The user asks to check `.agents/tasks/TODO.md`.
- The user asks to continue remaining local tasks.
- The user asks to work through the repo's local backlog instead of one already-scoped code change.
- The agent needs a repeatable workflow for reconciling `.agents/tasks/` with the current repository state.
## Scope boundaries
This tool works the local `.agents/tasks/` backlog: pick the next item, do it, move the folder, update
the status. It is deliberately broad about *what* the work is — the work itself belongs to whichever
skill owns that domain.
- `ref-sp-agents-local-tasks` — the conventions this tool follows: directory model, lifecycle
subfolders, `TODO.md` syntax, frontmatter `status`. Read it for the format; use this tool to work
the backlog.
- The owning skill for whatever the task touches. This tool routes and tracks; it does not replace
the domain skill for the change being made.
- `tool-sp-commit` — grouping the resulting diff into commits.
- Issue trackers and any backlog outside `.agents/tasks/` are out of scope; this is the local,
