FAQPage Schema
What is the best way to organize a markdown todo file structure for task tracking?

A standardized markdown todo workflow organizes tasks into open, wip, and done directories. This directory structure supports full task tracking, branching, and review workflows by enforcing consistent status flow and file validation rules.

How do I create a new task file following standard todo naming conventions?

To create a new task file, place a markdown document in the todo/open directory using a 3-digit ID and slug naming convention. This standardizes task identification and ensures files pass structural validation when moving to wip or done.

How does the todo status flow work for tracking task progress?

The todo status flow works by moving task files between open, wip, and done directories. As you start work, move the file to wip, and upon completion, move it to done, ensuring consistent task tracking and reproducible workflows across the team.

Can I use Git commands to interact with the todo task workflow?

Yes, you can use Git- and command-based interactions to manage the todo task workflow. The format specifies integration practices that support branching, task tracking, and review processes, ensuring consistent and reproducible task management within team environments.

Do I need any special dependencies to implement this todo file format?

No special dependencies are required to implement this todo file format. It relies on standard markdown files and directory structures, allowing you to enforce task management validation rules and naming conventions without installing additional software.

What validation rules apply to the todo markdown task format?

Validation rules for the todo markdown format check file naming conventions, 3-digit IDs, slugs, and required header fields. These rules ensure consistent task file structure and reliable status flow across open, wip, and done workflow stages.
