SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of losing critical work context, progress, and planned actions when development sessions end, which forces teams to re-research and re-plan long-running tasks every time they return to them.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persistent File-Based Storage: All todos are saved as markdown files that persist across sessions, so work context is never lost between sittings.
  • Structured Todo Templates: Pre-defined sections for problem statements, findings, proposed solutions, acceptance criteria, and work logs ensure all necessary context is captured for every work item.
  • Dependency & Status Management: Track todo status (pending/ready/complete) and dependencies between work items to manage complex multi-step projects and identify unblocked work.
  • Use Case: After a code review finds 12 missing test scenarios that will take 4 hours to fix, create a durable todo to track the work across multiple sessions without losing the review findings, proposed solutions, and acceptance criteria.

Quick Start

Use the todo-create skill to make a new p1 priority todo for fixing the N+1 query issue in the comment service, including the problem statement, proposed solutions, and acceptance criteria.

Can I track planned feature work and technical debt without losing context between sittings?▼

Yes, you can track planned feature work and technical debt without losing context by saving work items as durable markdown files that persist across sessions, ensuring all necessary context is captured.

Does file-based todo tracking support dependency management for complex projects?▼

File-based todo tracking supports dependency management by using YAML frontmatter to record todo status and dependencies between work items, helping you manage complex multi-step projects effectively.

When should I use file-based markdown todos instead of relying on session memory?▼

You should use file-based markdown todos when tasks span multiple development sessions, such as fixing multiple code review findings or addressing technical debt that requires tracking context over time.
