Clarify the words behind time estimates

Make estimation discussions easier to share and act on.

Trigger

Task Time Estimate Updated

Triggers when a task's time estimate is set, changed, or cleared. `changes[]` carries `TimeEstimateChange` entries only; `before` and `after` are millisecond strings or `null`.

Action

Get Word Definition V2

Tool to retrieve definitions, phonetics, origin, and meanings of a given word using freedictionaryapi v2. use when you need comprehensive lexical data for a specific word.

Why this helps

Planning terms can be unclear even when the estimate itself is precise.

  • Support more consistent estimation
  • Reduce semantic friction in planning
  • Keep lexical details near the work
