todo-triage

To triage pending todos, evaluate each item's severity, category, and impact to determine whether to approve, skip, or modify it. This interactive process standardizes dispositions across local todo directories by applying deterministic decisions based on those criteria.

Prioritizing engineering tasks by severity and impact involves presenting each finding with its problem scenario and proposed solution, then making a deterministic decision. This method ensures reviewers systematically process pending todos by assessing effort estimates and category before updating file statuses.

Managing todo file statuses with frontmatter updates involves recording progress through ready and create actions. As you triage items, the system preserves issue details and applies deterministic decisions by directly modifying the frontmatter to reflect whether each item was approved, skipped, or modified.

Yes, you can process legacy todos directories alongside local .context/compound-engineering/todos/ paths. The triage workflow applies uniformly across both directory types to standardize every pending item's disposition and ensure consistent task-management practices.

After triaging pending todos and generating a final summary of approved and skipped items, prepare for next steps like running /todo-resolve or committing changes. The summary distinguishes approved items ready for resolution from skipped ones, guiding subsequent engineering actions.
