Bug Report
When an agent runs cleo note T005 'some text', it routes to the cleo sticky subcommand instead of adding a note to task T005. The actual way to add task notes is cleo update T005 --notes 'text', but this is non-obvious.
Steps to reproduce:
- Run
cleo note T005 'some research findings'
- Expect: note added to task T005
- Actual: error from sticky note subsystem ('Unknown command T005')
Expected behavior: Either:
cleo note <taskId> <text> should be a shorthand for cleo update <taskId> --notes <text>- Or the error message should suggest the correct syntax
Impact: Medium — agents waste tokens discovering the correct syntax through trial and error. In my session I tried cleo note, cleo update --note, cleo update --add-note before finding cleo update --notes.
Severity: Moderate
Area: cli
