10## Recurrence
11
12Create tasks that repeat on a schedule using iCalendar recurrence rules.
13
14**Daily task**:
15
16```sh
17noteleaf task add "Daily standup" --recur "FREQ=DAILY"
18```
19
20**Weekly task on specific days**:
21
22```sh
23noteleaf task add "Team meeting" --recur "FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=MO,WE"
24```
25
26**Monthly task**:
27
28```sh
29noteleaf task add "Invoice review" --recur "FREQ=MONTHLY;BYMONTHDAY=1"
30```
31
32**With end date**:
33
34```sh
35noteleaf task add "Q1 review" \
36 --recur "FREQ=WEEKLY" \
37 --until 2025-03-31
38```
39
40**Manage recurrence**:
41
42Set recurrence on existing task:
43
44```sh
45noteleaf task recur set 1 --rule "FREQ=DAILY"
46```
47
48View recurrence info:
49
50```sh
51noteleaf task recur show 1
52```
53
54Remove recurrence:
55
56```sh
57noteleaf task recur clear 1
58```
59
60When you complete a recurring task, Noteleaf automatically generates the next instance based on the recurrence rule.
61
62## Dependencies
63
64Create relationships where tasks must be completed in order.
65
66**Add dependency** (task 1 depends on task 2):
67
68```sh
69noteleaf task depend add 1 <uuid-of-task-2>
70```
71
72**List dependencies** (what must be done first):
73
74```sh
75noteleaf task depend list 1
76```
77
78**List blocked tasks** (what's waiting on this task):
79
80```sh
81noteleaf task depend blocked-by 1
82```
83
84**Remove dependency**:
85
86```sh
87noteleaf task depend remove 1 <uuid-of-task-2>
88```
89
90Dependencies use task UUIDs (shown in `task view`) rather than IDs for stability across database changes.
91
92## Hierarchical Tasks
93
94Create parent-child relationships for breaking down large tasks.
95
96**Create child task**:
97
98```sh
99noteleaf task add "Write API documentation" --parent <parent-uuid>
100```
101
102Parent tasks can have multiple children, creating a tree structure for complex projects.
103
104## Custom Attributes
105
106While not exposed through specific flags, the database schema supports extending tasks with custom attributes for advanced use cases or scripting.
