SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill eliminates the risk of lost, disorganized work items by providing a consistent, file-based tracking system for code review feedback, technical debt, and feature requests that persists across sessions and integrates with standard development workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Todo Management: Create, triage, and track work items using standardized markdown files with required sections for problem statements, proposed solutions, acceptance criteria, and work logs.
  • Dependency & Priority Tracking: Link related tasks to manage blockers, prioritize work by urgency, and ensure teams focus on high-impact items first.
  • Use Case: After a code review, convert all feedback items into tracked todos, triage them to approve high-priority fixes, and monitor progress as the team addresses each issue.

Quick Start

Use the file-todos skill to create a new pending todo for the code review feedback about missing test coverage in the user authentication module.
