SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manage scattered work items and reduce context switching by surfacing tag-grouped todos as persistent, auto-updating overlays so you can keep task lists visible while you work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persistent Overlays: Open floating panels that stay on screen and auto-refresh when the underlying todos change.
  • Tag-based Grouping: Group and display todos by tag to create focused views like sprint tasks, bugs, or inbox items.
  • Layout & Management Tools: Use suggest_layout for positioning recommendations and commands to open, close, focus, list, and refresh panels.
  • Use case: Triage sprint work by opening a sprint panel on the right-center while keeping an "all" panel available for global context.

Quick Start

Open a persistent right-center panel for the sprint tag at 30% width by invoking the todo_panel open command with tag sprint anchor right-center width 30%.
