Focus Reference

Value	Meaning
`1_now`	Most urgent — address immediately
`2_today`	Address today
`3_thisWeek`	Address soon — this week
`4_nextMonth`	Less urgent
`5_someday`	Least urgent — backlog

Sort by focus ASC to get urgency order. Prefix numbers ensure correct ordering in Obsidian Bases (alphabetical sort would otherwise mis-order the values).

Status Reference

Status	Meaning
(blank)	Created, not yet prepped
`ready`	`/task-prep` run — context complete, waiting for `/task-start` or agent dispatch
`active`	Currently being executed
`blocked`	Waiting on prerequisite or external dependency
`complete`	Done (excluded from active queries)

Risk Reference

Risk	Behavior
`low`	Execute autonomously
`medium`	Extra validation; flag edge cases
`high`	`/task-QA` + Talbot sign-off required
`critical`	Plan-first gate — no auto-execute
