format-todo-list

TodoWrite format requires converting task content into present continuous form, assigning validated statuses (pending, in_progress, or completed), and structuring output as a JSON payload with content, status, and activeForm fields. This Skill automates that transformation for orchestrator progress tracking.

Valid todo statuses are pending, in_progress, and completed. The Skill validates each task against these three states and rejects or corrects any status values outside this set before generating the TodoWrite payload.

Use active form mapping when creating initial phase checklists, updating task statuses during automation runs, or enforcing consistent todo formatting across multiple workflows. Present continuous forms improve readability and tracking clarity.

Yes. The Skill applies standardized formatting, status validation, and active form transformation consistently across all runs, ensuring every todo list meets the same TodoWrite structure and terminology regardless of input variation.

The Skill outputs a TodoWrite-compatible JSON payload containing transformed content in present continuous form, validated status values, and activeForm representation, ready for direct integration into orchestrator progress tracking.

No. The Skill automatically validates all statuses against pending, in_progress, and completed. Invalid statuses are caught and corrected as part of the transformation, eliminating manual validation steps.
