+# Tracker tools (`tracker_*`)
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+> [!NOTE]
+> This is an experimental feature currently under active development.
+
+The `tracker_*` tools allow the Gemini agent to maintain an internal, persistent
+graph of tasks and dependencies for multi-step requests. This suite of tools
+provides a more robust and granular way to manage execution plans than the
+legacy `write_todos` tool.
+
+## Technical reference
+
+The agent uses these tools to manage its execution plan, decompose complex goals
+into actionable sub-tasks, and provide real-time progress updates to the CLI
+interface. The task state is stored in the `.gemini/tmp/tracker/<session-id>`
+directory, allowing the agent to manage its plan for the current session.
+
+### Available Tools
+
+- `tracker_create_task`: Creates a new task in the tracker. You can specify a
+  title, description, and task type (`epic`, `task`, `bug`).
+- `tracker_update_task`: Updates an existing task's status (`open`,
+  `in_progress`, `blocked`, `closed`), description, or dependencies.
+- `tracker_get_task`: Retrieves the full details of a specific task by its
+  6-character hex ID.
+- `tracker_list_tasks`: Lists tasks in the tracker, optionally filtered by
+  status, type, or parent ID.
+- `tracker_add_dependency`: Adds a dependency between two tasks, ensuring
+  topological execution.
+- `tracker_visualize`: Renders an ASCII tree visualization of the current task
+  graph.
+
+## Technical behavior
+
+- **Interface:** Updates the progress indicator and task tree above the CLI
+  input prompt.
+- **Persistence:** Task state is saved automatically to the
+  `.gemini/tmp/tracker/<session-id>` directory. Task states are session-specific
+  and do not persist across different sessions.
+- **Dependencies:** Tasks can depend on other tasks, forming a directed acyclic
+  graph (DAG). The agent must resolve dependencies before starting blocked
+  tasks.
+- **Interaction:** Users can view the current state of the tracker by asking the
+  agent to visualize it, or by running `gemini-cli` commands if implemented.
+
+## Use cases
+
+- Coordinating multi-file refactoring projects.
+- Breaking down a mission into a hierarchy of epics and tasks for better
+  visibility.
+- Tracking bugs and feature requests directly within the context of an active
+  codebase.
+- Providing visibility into the agent's current focus and remaining work.
+
+## Next steps
+
+- Follow the [Task planning tutorial](../cli/tutorials/task-planning.md) for
+  usage details and migration from the legacy todo list.
+- Learn about [Session management](../cli/session-management.md) for context on
+  persistent state.
