Todo

Add, complete, or view items in the brain/todos.md backlog.

by poteto · MIT

The skill

Add, complete, or view items in the brain/todos.md backlog. Use when the user says "todo", "add a todo", "mark done", "what's on the backlog", "show todos", "list tasks", "check off", or wants to manage their task list.

Todo

Manage the project backlog at brain/todos.md. Edit the file directly with Edit/Write tools.

File Format

# Todos

<!-- next-id: 26 -->

## Section Name

1. [x] Completed item description
2. [ ] Open item description [[plans/02-some-plan/overview]]
  • Items are numbered markdown checkboxes: N. [ ] description or N. [x] description
  • Sections are ## Heading groups
  • <!-- next-id: N --> tracks the next available ID

Operations

Add an item

  1. Read <!-- next-id: N --> to get the next ID
  2. Append N. [ ] description to the target section
  3. Increment the next-id marker: <!-- next-id: N+1 -->

Mark done

Change [ ] to [x] and update the description with a reason:

2. [x] Old description — superseded by #75 channel UI redesign

Then move the done item from brain/todos.md to brain/archive/todos.md (create the file if it doesn't exist). Remove empty sections left behind.

Edit description

Replace the description text. Preserve any [[wikilinks]] unless intentionally removing them.

Rules

  • IDs are permanent. Never renumber or reuse them.
  • Always increment <!-- next-id --> when adding items.
  • Keep items in their section — don't move between sections without being asked.
