What problem does it solve?
For teams using the GSD (Get Shit Done) project workflow, tracking and selecting from a growing list of pending todos across different project areas is time-consuming and disruptive, often requiring manual context gathering to pick the right next task. This skill eliminates that friction by centralizing todo listing, filtering, and selection with full context loading.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Filtered Todo Listing: View all pending todos with optional area filtering to narrow down tasks relevant to your current work focus.
- Interactive Selection & Context Loading: Select a todo to automatically load all associated context, file summaries, and roadmap correlation to understand the full scope of the work.
- Action Routing: Get routed to appropriate next steps for the selected todo, including starting work immediately, adding it to an existing phase, brainstorming solutions, or creating a new project phase, with automatic state updates and git commits.
- Use Case: If you have 20 pending todos split between frontend, backend, and design areas for a new feature launch, use this skill to filter to backend todos, select the highest priority authentication task, and immediately access all context needed to start implementation without searching through scattered project files.
