What problem does it solve?

The .context/compound-engineering/todos/ directory provides a canonical, file-based system to create and track durable work items (e.g., code reviews, findings, technical debt) across sessions, preserving progress and decisions in markdown files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized, file-based todos persisted as markdown with YAML frontmatter including status, priority, issue_id, and dependencies.
  • Canonical write path at .context/compound-engineering/todos/ with a legacy read path at todos/ to ensure compatibility during transitions.
  • Structured workflows for creating, triaging, updating, and completing todos, including templates and a work-log to capture progress.

Quick Start

Create a new durable todo using the canonical path, then fill the template fields and start the work log.
