What Is a Task?
In UnDercontrol, a Task is the core unit of information. If you've used Jira, think of it as an Issue; if you've used Obsidian, think of it as a Note. A Task is essentially a piece of content bound to a status, with first-class attributes (title, tags, link relationships, etc.) and support for unlimited custom metadata fields (key-value pairs), so you can attach any information to it. Through the Notes mechanism, a Task can continuously evolve — recording progress, discussions, and decisions, accumulating into a complete knowledge context over time.
This post focuses on the Task's main body — the Description — and the rich-text capabilities it supports.
