# Work Tracker Skill > Local Azure DevOps/JIRA alternative for surviving context rot in long-running sessions. --- ## Purpose The Work Tracker skill provides persistent task management that survives context compaction, session boundaries, and context rot. It serves as the "external memory" for tracking what needs to be done, what's in progress, and what's completed. ### The Context Rot Problem > "Context Rot is the phenomenon where an LLM's performance degrades as the context > window fills up, even when total token count is well within the technical limit." > — [Chroma Research](https://research.trychroma.com/context-rot) Work Tracker mitigates this by: - **Persisting state to filesystem** - Not dependent on context window - **Providing compact summaries** - Load only what's needed - **Enabling session continuity** - Pick up where you left off --- ## Commands ### Create Work Item Create a new work item for tracking. ``` @worktracker create <title> [--type TYPE] [--priority PRIORITY] [--parent PARENT_ID] ``` **Arguments:** - `title`: Short description of the work (required) - `--type`: `feature`, `bug`, `task`, `spike`, `epic` (default: `task`) - `--priority`: `critical`, `high`, `medium`, `low` (default: `medium`) - `--parent`: Parent work item ID for hierarchy **Example:** ``` @worktracker create "Implement user authentication" --type feature --priority high ``` **Output:** ``` Created: WORK-001 "Implement user authentication" Type: feature | Priority: high |
