cross-tool-action-items

To find untracked action items across email and Slack, this Skill scans recent sent messages and chat mentions to detect commitment language like "I'll follow up" and cross-references them against your task list to surface unrecorded work.

Cross-referencing works by comparing commitments extracted from your communications against your existing TASKS.md file and assigned issues. It flags items that are missing from your task list and prepares suggested tasks for your confirmation.

You do not need a specific issue tracker. The Skill cross-references an optional TASKS.md file or existing issue tracker to detect incoming requests directed at you, ensuring items falling through the cracks are caught regardless of your platform.

The best way to triage informal promises is to run this Skill before meetings or at end-of-day. It scans the past week of communications for commitment language, identifies incoming requests, and converts informal promises into tracked tasks.

The Skill detects commitment language in sent messages by scanning for phrases such as "I'll send", "I'll follow up", or "On it" to identify work you promised to complete, ensuring these unrecorded items are flagged for review.

You can review candidate untracked items before they are added. The Skill presents discovered commitments and incoming requests for your explicit confirmation, ensuring you maintain control over what becomes a tracked task.
