FAQPage Schema
How do I prioritize TODO items from a TODOS.md file for project planning?

To prioritize TODO items, this skill analyzes TODOS.md by extracting actionable items, applying a project-centric framework to score clarity, ease, and projected value, then outputs a ranked list with implementation guidance.

How does context integration work when analyzing a TODOS.md file?

Context integration works by optionally reading project context files like VISION.md, PRODUCT_SPEC.md, TECHNICAL_SPEC.md, AGENTS.md, and EXECUTION_PLAN.md to adjust the prioritization scoring of your TODO items.

What is the best way to rank actionable items using a project-centric framework?

The best way to rank actionable items is evaluating each against a project-centric framework that assigns a priority score based on clarity, ease, and projected value, formatting results for review and potential TODOS.md updates.

Can I use project specs to adjust the priority score of my workflow tasks?

Yes, you can use project specs to adjust priority scores. The skill incorporates context from PRODUCT_SPEC.md and TECHNICAL_SPEC.md alongside TODOS.md to guide project planning and refine task rankings.

Do I need a VISION.md file to generate a prioritized list of actionable items?

You do not need a VISION.md file to generate a prioritized list. The skill reads context files when available but can analyze and prioritize TODO items from TODOS.md independently.

What to do when your TODOS.md items lack clear implementation guidance?

When TODOS.md items lack implementation guidance, the skill outputs a clear prioritized list with next actions and guides subsequent Q&A to clarify any ambiguous actionable items.
