 `ask` is a task management CLI for the current git project. It auto-scopes to `project:<repo> +agent` so all operations are confined to the current project.
 
-`ask` never exposes numeric task IDs — it uses UUIDs for all task references. Output is machine-friendly: UUID-only tables, suppressed decorative text, and structured formats.
+`ask` never exposes Taskwarrior numeric task IDs. Human-facing output uses stable local alias IDs where practical, while `ask info` shows both the alias ID and the UUID. Commands that accept a task selector support either the alias ID or the UUID.
 
 `ask` must be run inside a git repository so the project name can be derived from the repo root.
