Hmmm... Hungarian notation for task delegation. Interesting.
In any case, this wouldn't work for me because it's missing a critical declaration of WHEN. Missed deadlines are more often discussed in failed projects' post mortems rather than wondering WHO dropped the ball.
I would've used '@' for WHEN and maybe '~' for WHO. But maybe we're getting into sigil hell.
Choice of symbol has some degree of being arbitrary and I only preferred '@' for when because we (at least in USA) often specify time that way. E.g. "meet for lunch @2:00pm". However, I can see that '@' might feel like a fragment of an email address John@xyz.com.
The tilde '~' because UNIX/Linux alias for user's home directory. Hence the "who". I do admit that's a meaningless reason for any mainstream audience.

I guess you mean declension. Are you a Spanish speaker? It's a mistake I usually make too, being the expected translation of "declinación".
Yes, it's comparable to declension, though Hungarian notation is prefix and not part of the syntax, while declension is postfix and has syntactic meaning.
Yes, that's what I meant. I'm a Portuguese speaker ("declinação"). I should have checked the correct translation. Thank you for understanding what I meant and correcting me.
I don't agree with the verb tagging personally. It's irrelevant, isn't? Someone need to "do" something. The particular word choice doesn't impact the necessity.
You include the word like normal, I'm saying tagging it isn't going to be helpful in the long run. Not to mention you're already including the word "should" and now a bang too? Could have very simple language detection to identify the verb if that's the goal.
Tagging things implicitly groups them and imbues the ability to search/filter/organize by them. I just have a hard time envisioning a useful scenario in which you're looking at "Show me the # of taks by verb used"
I liked the notation thing, are there any other examples of applications that work like this, with a notation system that normal people can use (and do not feel like they are programming)?
"x should y" ==> "it (modal:may|might|would|could|will)? work(s)? (for|(for us)? if) x (to)? y" / "x y-ing works"
Example:
"@Peter should !find all copies of the #cat dossiers &across the datacube"
==>
"It works if @Peter !find all copies of the #cat dossiers &across the datacube."
:)
should implies "duty, obligaition or correctness" while "it works" connotes shared mission, and implies the hearer's choice to act or not, which is correct and respects their agency. "Duty, obligation or correctness" could easily trigger ego responses leading to inefficient conflicts.
BTW -- I love the straight up "No." it would be cool if you could touch and hold "No" to get a list of weasel words and excuses!!
