# Google Tasks

Create, update, and manage tasks and task lists in Google Tasks via OAuth authentication.

---

## Pre-Flight Check (ALWAYS RUN FIRST)

```bash
uv run python 00-system/skills/google/google-master/scripts/google_auth.py --check --service tasks
```

**Exit codes:**
- **0**: Ready to use - proceed with user request
- **1**: Need to login - run `python3 00-system/skills/google/google-master/scripts/google_auth.py --login`
- **2**: Missing credentials or dependencies - see [../google-master/references/setup-guide.md](../google-master/references/setup-guide.md)
