When built with libreadline, tasksh provides command editing and history.
Tasksh has an integrated 'review' command that leads you through an interactive
review session.
Tasksh supports all recent versions of Taskwarrior.

.B review [N]
Begins an interactive review session, where you can mark tasks as reviewed,
modify them using your text editor, or skip them. You can terminate a review
session at any time.
Finds your pending and waiting tasks that need to be reviewed. By default this
means any task with a missing 'reviewed' date, or with a 'reviewed' date that
is older than a week. This means if you run the 'review' command to completion,
a subsequent 'review' command will find no tasks to review, until a week has
elapsed.
edit them using your text editor, provide modification commands, or skip them.
You can terminate a review session at any time, and the next review session
will resume at the right place.
To find tasks needing review, the '_reviewed' custom report is created and run,
which filters tasks that have a missing 'reviewed' UDA date, or have not been
reviewed for a week.
This means that if you run a review session to completion, there will be no
need to review again for a week, and the review command will simply do nothing
until then.
The one week review cycle is defined by the '_reviewed' custom report, which
can be modified if you prefer a monthly review cycle.
If 'N' is provided, the session is limited to reviewing only N tasks.
Note: requires Taskwarrior 2.5.0 or later.

.SH CONFIGURATION
Tasksh piggybacks on Taskwarrior's .taskrc configuration file, and stores
several settings there. If you use a non-standard location for your .task
database, and .taskrc file, Tasksh will not find them unless you set the
TASKDATA and TASKRC environment variables. See 'man taskrc' for more
details.
