SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of managing codebase work items that live as files. It provides a file-based todo system in the todos/ directory with YAML frontmatter, structured sections, and clear lifecycle states, helping teams transform findings into actionable work without relying on external task trackers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create and manage file-based todos with statuses: pending, ready, complete.
  • Track dependencies and triage pending items for approval.
  • Convert PR comments or code findings into tracked work and maintain a Work Log for future reference.
  • Integrate with slash commands and code review processes to streamline collaboration.

Quick Start

  • Create a new todo from findings using the template: copy assets/todo-template.md to todos/001-pending-p2-short-description.md, then edit frontmatter and sections. Use the naming convention: {issue_id}-{status}-{priority}-{description}.md and update status as triage progresses.
