file-todos

You can track code review feedback and technical debt by converting them into structured markdown todos with YAML frontmatter in a dedicated directory. This persistent file-based system keeps issue IDs, priorities, and status transitions auditable.

The best way to organize file-based todos is applying a structured lifecycle workflow. You create markdown files with YAML frontmatter, then triage pending items, check dependencies, and transition statuses from pending to ready to complete.

You manage markdown task dependencies and status transitions by enforcing dependency checks before moving items to ready or complete states. The system keeps filenames and YAML frontmatter synchronized while recording status updates in a chronological work log.

Yes, you can use markdown files with YAML frontmatter to triage and prioritize development tasks. The workflow supports reviewing pending items, assigning priorities, checking dependencies, and recording recommended actions for approved technical debt or feature requests.

You maintain a chronological work log by appending actions, commands, and learnings directly to the markdown todo file. This creates an auditable history of progress for each task, ensuring that execution context is preserved alongside the item.

Yes, file-based todo tracking works entirely without external dependencies or databases. It relies on standard markdown files and YAML frontmatter stored locally, making it a lightweight solution for persistent task management and work logging.
