Catch up on a TickTick task without reading every comment
For anyone who inherits or reviews a TickTick task and asks their AI assistant where it stands.
On this page
Connector
Connect TickTick, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
Catching up on a task means reading the whole thread
Working out where a long TickTick task stands means opening it, reading every sub-task and scrolling through the whole comment thread for what was decided. Anyone picking it up cold has to rebuild that picture by hand.
Without PopdockAI
- Open the task and every sub-task
- Scroll through the full comment thread
- Note decisions and open questions by hand
- Ask a colleague what was already agreed
With PopdockAI
- The task is found, including completed tasks if needed
- Sub-tasks and comments are read in time order
- Decisions, open questions and a next action are summarised
- It stops on several matches, and never posts or edits
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** Summarise the task matching {task-title}, optionally within the project {project-name}.
**Step 1: Find the task**
Call `ticktick-get-tasks` with `title.contains` set to {task-title} (and `project-name` if given). If nothing is found, retry with `ticktick-get-completed-tasks`. If more than one matches, list them and stop.
**Step 2: Sub-tasks**
Call `ticktick-get-subtasks` with the `task-id`.
**Step 3: Comments**
Call `ticktick-get-task-comments` with the `task-id` and `project-id`, in time order.
**Step 4: Report**
* Task status, due date, priority, assignee and tags.
* Sub-task progress, with what is left.
* The discussion in five lines or fewer, then decisions made and open questions.
* A suggested next action.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* This prompt is read-only. Never call `ticktick-add-task`, `ticktick-update-task`, `ticktick-complete-task`, `ticktick-complete-multiple-tasks`, `ticktick-batch-tasks`, `ticktick-move-task`, `ticktick-assign-task`, `ticktick-unassign-task`, `ticktick-delete-task`, `ticktick-add-comment`, `ticktick-delete-comment`, `ticktick-add-project`, `ticktick-update-project`, `ticktick-delete-project`, `ticktick-add-column`, `ticktick-update-column`, `ticktick-add-project-group`, `ticktick-update-project-group`, `ticktick-delete-project-group`, `ticktick-add-tag`, `ticktick-add-focus-session` or `ticktick-delete-focus-session`.
**Validation:**
* If the task has no comments or sub-tasks, say so.Who it's for
