SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers capture todos, ideas, or thoughts during CLI coding sessions without breaking their flow by writing to a local TODO.md file.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Capture on the fly: Quickly append items to the ## Inbox section of TODO.md.
  • Organize later: Suggest classification into Features, Improvements, Bug Fixes, Documentation, and Ideas.
  • Track progress: Move items through Inbox, Completed, and provide restore options.

Quick Start

Activate the skill and say :a fix the bug to add to Inbox, then say :c to classify. If the TODO.md file does not exist, the skill will guide you to create one using the template.

How do I capture to-dos during coding without losing focus?

Stash-pad lets you quickly append items to a local TODO.md file using shortcuts like `:a fix the bug` without breaking your coding flow. Items go straight to an Inbox section for later organization.

Can I organize my captured items into categories automatically?

Yes. After capturing items, use the `:c` command to classify them into Features, Improvements, Bug Fixes, Documentation, or Ideas. The Skill moves items from Inbox into their category sections.

Does stash-pad preserve the exact wording I type?
