What this skill does

# /mise:list-repo-tasks

List all mise tasks in the current repo, grouped by namespace with dependency information.

> **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

## Step 1: Get Task List

```bash
mise tasks ls 2>/dev/null
```

If no tasks found, report:

```
No mise tasks found in this repo.
To create release tasks: /mise:run-full-release
To learn task authoring: See mise-tasks skill
```

## Step 2: Group by Namespace

Parse the task list and group by colon-prefix namespace:

- `release:*` — Release workflow tasks
- `test:*` — Testing tasks
- `cache:*` — Cache management tasks
- `dev:*` — Development quality tasks (fmt, lint, typecheck)
- `validate:*` — Validation tasks
- `smoke:*` — Smoke/integration tests
- `bench:*` — Benchmarking
- Tasks without a namespace prefix go under "General"

## Step 3: Filter by Argument

If a namespace argument is provided (e.g., `/mise:list-repo-tasks release`):

- Filter to only tasks matching that namespace prefix
- Show the dependency DAG for those tasks:

```bash
# Show task details including depends
mise tasks ls --json 2>/dev/null | jq '.[] | select(.name | startswith("release:"))'
```

## Step 4: Show Dependency Chains

For filtered namespaces, show the dependency chain:

```
release:full
  └─ depends: release:postflight, release:pypi
     └─ release:postflight depends: smoke, release:build-all
        └─ release:build-all depends: release:version
           └─ release:version depends: release:sync
              └─ release:sync depends: release:preflight
```

## Post-Execution Reflection

After this skill completes, reflect before closing the task:

0. **Locate yourself.** — Find this SKILL.md's canonical path before editing.
1. **What failed?** — Fix the instruction that caused it.
2. **What worked better than expected?** — Promote to recommended practice.
3. **What drifted?** — Fix any script, reference, or dependency that no longer matches reality.
4. **Log it.** — Evolution-log entry with trigger, fix, and evidence.

Do NOT defer. The next invocation inherits whatever you leave behind.
