+The `p/u/t` commands use special syntax ` @YYMMDD/U.U` in cards,
+denominating the target date `YYMMDD` and the expected duration `U.U`
+with special values defined in the configuration file:
+
+- `planunit` is just an informative string, by default "h/day"
+- `tunits` is number of units (e.g hours) available per day
+- `planpart` is percentage of "tunits" which may be distributed
+
+The `p` command calculates which amount per active card having a
+target date and duration should be attributed to its task so that
+it can be finished before the target date.
+
+The `u` command permits to set a (new) expected duration and optionally
+a target date for a card.
+
+The `t` command scans all "waiting" cards with a target date and
+duration and puts them into the doing state, if the target date
+is today or already passed.

 The `!` "shell escape" command will allow you to execute shell commands.
 If the command begins with a letter and does not match to an internal
 clikan command, you may even omit the leading `!` -- so be careful:
