# Find and link work

_2026-08-18_

Assistants find a task by words or a reference such as TASKAID-45, then hand back a stable link to it or to a day's plan.

- Find a task by words or a reference such as `TASKAID-45`.
- Tasks and dated daily plans each have their own stable page in Taskaid.
- When an assistant reads or updates one, it receives the URL to hand back to you.

A reference like TASKAID-45 is not written anywhere in the task itself — the number is a column and the prefix is added for display — so searching for one used to return whatever happened to read like it. A reference is now a lookup: ask for 45 and you get task 45.

The daily plan got an address at the same time. It used to be a page fixed to whatever today was, so nothing could point at a particular day; each day's plan now has its own dated URL.

Assistants receive those links along with the work, so they can hand you back the page.
