gestProject-aware task and artifact tracking

Manage agent-generated artifacts and task backlogs alongside your code — stored as plain files, versioned with your project.

Get Started

GitHub

Tasks

Create and manage tasks with priorities, phases, tags, and links. Built for AI-assisted workflows where agents generate and refine work items as you go.

Artifacts

Store specs, ADRs, RFCs, and design documents as versioned Markdown with YAML frontmatter. Keep architectural decisions next to the code they describe.

Iterations

Group tasks into iterations with dependency graphs and phase-based execution. Plan work in ordered phases so agents and humans stay in sync.

Search

Full-text search across every task and artifact. Pipe JSON output into scripts or use it interactively to find what you need fast.

Plain Files

TOML for tasks, Markdown for artifacts — no database, no server. Everything is inspectable, diffable, and friendly to version control.

Global or Local

Store data globally in ~/.local/share/gest/ for cross-project tracking, or locally in .gest/ to keep everything inside a single repo.
