todo-file

Use this skill to maintain a checkbox-style task list in a plain markdown file the user can read and edit alongside the agent.

When

Start a todo file when:

• The user says "plan this out first", "break it down", or "let's track subtasks".
• The task has 3+ independent subtasks.
• The task will likely span multiple agent turns.

Skip the file when the whole task fits in one or two tool calls.

Shape

Write the file at <cwd>/todo.md (or plan.md if the user already uses that name). Structure:

# Task: <short title>

Goal: <one-paragraph description of what "done" looks like.>

## Open
- [ ] subtask one
- [ ] subtask two

## Done
- [x] first preflight step

One line per subtask. Tick with [x] when finished — keep done items in the Done section so the open list stays short.

Discipline

• Before starting work: append the task list to the file and show the user before acting on it.
• Between turns: update one box at a time. A partially complete file is better than a stale one.
• On completion: move every item to Done and leave a final "Complete" note at the top.

Do not use this skill as a substitute for the agent's own scratchpad / working memory — it is for user-visible task tracking.
