FAQPage Schema
How do I prioritize TODO items from a TODOS.md file for project planning?▼

To prioritize TODO items, this skill analyzes TODOS.md by extracting actionable items, applying a project-centric framework to score clarity, ease, and projected value, then outputs a ranked list with implementation guidance.

How does context integration work when analyzing a TODOS.md file?▼

Context integration works by optionally reading project context files like VISION.md, PRODUCT_SPEC.md, TECHNICAL_SPEC.md, AGENTS.md, and EXECUTION_PLAN.md to adjust the prioritization scoring of your TODO items.

What is the best way to rank actionable items using a project-centric framework?▼

The best way to rank actionable items is evaluating each against a project-centric framework that assigns a priority score based on clarity, ease, and projected value, formatting results for review and potential TODOS.md updates.

Can I use project specs to adjust the priority score of my workflow tasks?▼

Yes, you can use project specs to adjust priority scores. The skill incorporates context from PRODUCT_SPEC.md and TECHNICAL_SPEC.md alongside TODOS.md to guide project planning and refine task rankings.

Do I need a VISION.md file to generate a prioritized list of actionable items?▼

You do not need a VISION.md file to generate a prioritized list. The skill reads context files when available but can analyze and prioritize TODO items from TODOS.md independently.

What to do when your TODOS.md items lack clear implementation guidance?▼

When TODOS.md items lack implementation guidance, the skill outputs a clear prioritized list with next actions and guides subsequent Q&A to clarify any ambiguous actionable items.
