What problem does it solve?
This Skill solves the problem of losing context, design decisions, and progress when working on complex patterns across multiple sessions or when collaborating. It ensures continuity and efficiency, allowing you to pick up exactly where you left off.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Persistent Working Memory: Maintain detailed TODO files that track design rationale, implementation steps, and technical notes. This acts as your external brain for ongoing projects.
- Multi-Session Continuity: Quickly resume work by reviewing "Next Steps" and "Technical Notes" from previous sessions, eliminating the need to re-familiarize yourself with the project.
- Knowledge Transfer: Document choices and challenges, making it easier for others (or your future self) to understand the pattern's evolution and rationale.
- Use Case: When starting a new, multi-feature pattern, create a TODO file to outline requirements, document early design decisions, and track your progress. This ensures you can pick up exactly where you left off days later, without missing a beat.
Quick Start
I'm starting a new complex pattern called 'data-ingestor'. Use the todo-files skill to create a new TODO file for it and outline the initial structure.
