working-off-of-todo-files

What problem does it solve?

Managing and systematically working through todo.md or todo.txt files can be challenging, especially for complex projects with many subtasks. This Skill empowers the AI to autonomously read, prioritize, execute, and update tasks in your todo files, ensuring consistent progress and freeing you from manual task management.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Single Task Focus: The AI works on one task at a time, breaking it down mentally into subtasks and providing clear progress updates.
• Automated Status Updates: Automatically marks tasks as in-progress ([/]) and completed ([x]), keeping your todo file always up-to-date.
• User-Controlled Workflow: The AI waits for your explicit instruction before moving to the next task, maintaining your oversight.
• Use Case: You have a todo.md file outlining a new feature. Simply activate this Skill, and the AI will systematically tackle each item, from setting up the database to implementing API endpoints, updating the file as it goes, and asking for your approval to proceed.

Quick Start

Look at the 'ai-notes/project-x/todo.md' file and start working on the first pending task.
