The problem
Late tasks surface only when clients chase
BugHerd shows due dates task by task, but not who has fallen behind across projects. Finding overdue work means filtering each project and grouping by person, so late tasks are usually spotted only when a client chases.
Without PopdockAI
- Filter each project for past due tasks
- Skip tasks that are already done
- Group what is left by person by hand
- Hear about late work from the client first
With PopdockAI
- Open tasks past their due date are read across projects
- Done, closed and undated tasks are left out
- Tasks are grouped by assignee and ordered by severity
- A next step for each person, nothing changed
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** Find open BugHerd tasks that are past their due date, for the project `{project-name}` and the assignee `{assignee-name}` when given (all projects and all assignees when empty), and say what should happen to each.
**Step 1: Narrow the scope**
* If `{project-name}` is given, call `bugherd-get-projects` with `name.contains` and take its project-id. If several match, list them and stop.
* If `{assignee-name}` is given, call `bugherd-get-users` with `display-name.contains` and take the user-id. If several match, list them and stop.
**Step 2: Read overdue tasks**
Call `bugherd-get-tasks` with `due-date.to` set to yesterday's date, plus `project-id` and `assignee` (the user-id) when you resolved them. Set `max-records` to 200. Drop tasks whose status is done or closed.
**Step 3: Report**
Group by assignee (put unassigned tasks in their own group). For each task show task number, title, project name, severity, due date and days overdue. Order each group by severity, then by days overdue. End with one line per assignee suggesting the next step (re-plan due dates, reassign, or escalate).
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Do not call any write tool: `bugherd-add-task`, `bugherd-add-feedback`, `bugherd-update-task`, `bugherd-move-task`, `bugherd-add-comment`, `bugherd-add-attachment-from-url`, `bugherd-add-project`, `bugherd-update-project`, `bugherd-add-project-member`, `bugherd-add-guest-to-project`. This prompt is read-only.
* A task with no due date is never overdue; leave it out.
**Validation:**
* If nothing is overdue, say so plainly; that is a good result.Who it's for
