SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Keeping project TODO files current is tedious: completed items linger, new tasks from recent work never get recorded, and priorities drift out of sync with actual development. This Skill keeps ndestates-io TODO-*.md files accurate by carrying forward open items, marking completed work, and reprioritizing tasks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Carry Forward & Sync: Moves unfinished tasks into today's TODO file and updates entries based on recently completed work. - Prioritization & Reprioritization: Reorders and annotates tasks according to current project needs, with branch and date context. - Proposal-Only Workflow: Outputs proposed TODO updates in a canonical format and waits for approval before any commit. - Use Case: After finishing a valuations layout feature, invoke the Skill to mark that task done, add the next CDD task, and produce a structured update proposal for review. ## Quick Start Invoke /todo-specialist-agent with an instruction such as "mark valuations layout done, add next CDD" to receive a proposed TODO update for approval.

Frequently Asked Questions about todo-specialist-agent

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update a project TODO file after finishing a task?▼

Invoke the Skill with a natural language instruction such as "mark valuations layout done, add next CDD". It reads the current TODO files, applies your changes, and outputs a proposed update in canonical format for your approval before committing.

How do I carry forward unfinished tasks to a new TODO file?▼

The Skill automatically carries forward open items when syncing TODO-*.md files, ensuring today's and tomorrow's TODO files exist per project instructions. You review the proposed carry-forward before anything is committed.

Does the TODO specialist commit changes automatically?▼

No. It operates in propose-only mode: it generates structured TODO update proposals including branch and date, then waits for explicit approval before any commit is made to the repository.

What format do the proposed TODO updates follow?▼

Proposals follow a canonical format defined in the project's agent instructions, including branch and date context. The output is structured for handoff to the orchestrator prompt workflow.

When should I not use this Skill for task tracking?▼

It is scoped to ndestates-io TODO-*.md markdown files and the project's agent instruction conventions. For general-purpose issue tracking across external platforms like Jira or GitHub Issues, a dedicated integration tool is more appropriate.
