A simple question: Are you refreshing the agenda after marking the item
done (i.e., CONTACTED)? Similarly, do the inactive items (i.e.,
CONTACTED) remain when you invoke the agenda view the again.

Inactive todos do not disappear from the agenda until it is refreshed
(r).

Would you mind sharing your custom agenda command?
