## The prompt

- What are my tasks?

The minimal task query. Default scope is "open and active", past due first, then today, then upcoming.

## What alfred_ does

1. Pulls all open tasks
2. Sorts by urgency: overdue → due today → due this week → later
3. Returns a numbered list, number = handle for follow-up actions
4. Surfaces source thread if a task came from an email

## Filtering

**By time:**

- "What's on my list today?"
- "What's due this week?"
- "What's due in the next 3 days?"

**By status:**

- "What's overdue?" (see [What's overdue?](https://get-alfred.ai/docs/prompt-book/tasks/whats-overdue))
- "What did I finish today?"
- "Anything important today?"

**By topic:**

- "What tasks do I have for the Acme project?"
- "Tasks involving Sarah?"
- "What's in my queue from last week's review?"

## Acting on a task

After alfred_ shows the list, reference tasks by number:

- "Mark #3 done"
- "Push #1 to tomorrow"
- "What's the source email for #2?"
- "Remind me about #4 at noon"

## "What's outstanding" vs. "what's overdue"

These are different:

- **What's on my list** → all open tasks (including ones not yet due)
- **What's overdue** → just past-due, see [What's overdue?](https://get-alfred.ai/docs/prompt-book/tasks/whats-overdue)

When in doubt, ask both: "What's overdue and what's due today?"
