Developer Builds AI Project Manager That Interprets Plain Language, Not UI Clicks

A developer has created an open-source project management tool called Project Manager, designed to eliminate the manual overhead of traditional task-tracking software. Instead of requiring users to update cards, fields, and statuses, the tool accepts plain-language descriptions of project reality and automatically translates them into coordinated project state changes. The system stores all project data in versioned Markdown files, keeping it portable, vendor-independent, and auditable through standard diff tools. It enforces a strict task lifecycle to prevent premature completion, requiring actual evidence before marking work as done rather than accepting agent or user claims at face value. The tool is aimed at addressing a growing problem in AI-assisted workflows, where an agent reporting a task as finished does not guarantee the work meets acceptance criteria.
