gsd-add-todo

Capturing conversation action items into structured todos involves extracting task details and formatting them as markdown files with YAML frontmatter. This Skill generates unique slugs, infers project areas from file paths, detects duplicates, and commits the todo files to git.

The best way to track meeting tasks in a git repository is by creating repository-native todo files that update STATE.md for tracking. This ensures conversation ideas are captured as structured markdown todos tied to the appropriate project area without slipping through the cracks.

Duplicate detection for todo items works by checking newly captured conversation tasks against existing repository files. This prevents action items from being recorded twice, ensuring your task capture workflow maintains a clean and tracked project state.

You need the workflow referenced at ~/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/add-todo.md to use the add-todo task capture feature. This GSD workflow integration ensures directory structure is maintained and STATE.md is updated during the git commit process.

You can infer project areas from file paths when creating markdown todos. This task capture feature automatically determines the appropriate project area directory, ensuring structured todo items are organized correctly within your git repository.

Using chat-based workflows for task capture requires a git repository environment to commit markdown todo files and update STATE.md. Without the referenced GSD workflow directory structure, the area inference and duplicate detection features cannot operate.
