# File-Based Todo Tracking Skill
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The `todos/` directory contains a file-based tracking system for managing code review feedback, technical debt, feature requests, and work items. Each todo is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter and structured sections.
|
||||
|
||||
This skill should be used when:
|
||||
- Creating new todos from findings or feedback
|
||||
- Managing todo lifecycle (pending → ready → complete)
|
||||
- Triaging pending items for approval
|
||||
- Checking or managing dependencies
|
||||
- Converting PR comments or code findings into tracked work
|
||||
- Updating work logs during todo execution
|
||||
|
||||
## File Naming Convention
|
||||
|
||||
Todo files follow this naming pattern:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
{issue_id}-{status}-{priority}-{description}.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Components:**
|
||||
- **issue_id**: Sequential number (001, 002, 003...) - never reused
|
||||
- **status**: `pending` (needs triage), `ready` (approved), `complete` (done)
|
||||
- **priority**: `p1` (critical), `p2` (important), `p3` (nice-to-have)
|
||||
- **description**: kebab-case, brief description
|
||||
|
||||
**Examples:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
001-pending-p1-mailer-test.md
|
||||
002-ready-p1-fix-n-plus-1.md
|
||||
005-complete-p2-refactor-csv.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Each todo is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter and structured sections. Use the template at `assets/todo-template.md` as a starting point when creating new todos.
|
||||
|
||||
**Required sections:**
|
||||
- **Problem Statement** - What is broken, missing, or needs improvement?
|
||||
- **Findings** - Investigation results, root cause, key discoveries
|
||||
- **Proposed Solutions** - Multiple options with pros/cons, effort, risk
|
||||
- **Recommended Action** - Clear plan (filled during triage)
|
||||
- **Acceptance Criteria** - Testable checklist items
|
||||
- **Work Log** - Chronological record with date, actions, learnings
|
||||
|
||||
**Optional sections:**
|
||||
- **Technical Details** - Affected files, related components, DB changes
|
||||
- **Resources** - Links to errors, tests, PRs, documentation
|
||||
- **Notes** - Additional context or decisions
|
||||
|
||||
**YAML frontmatter fields:**
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
status: ready # pending | ready | complete
|
||||
priority: p1 # p1 | p2 | p3
|
||||
issue_id: "002"
|
||||
tags: [rails, performance, database]
|
||||
dependencies: ["001"] # Issue IDs this is blocked by
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating a New Todo
|
||||
|
||||
**To create a new todo from findings or feedback:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Determine next issue ID: `ls todos/ | grep -o '^[0-9]\+' | sort -n | tail -1`
|
||||
2. Copy template: `cp assets/todo-template.md todos/{NEXT_ID}-pending-{priority}-{description}.md`
|
||||
3. Edit and fill required sections:
|
||||
- Problem Statement
|
||||
- Findings (if from investigation)
|
||||
- Proposed Solutions (multiple options)
|
||||
- Acceptance Criteria
|
||||
- Add initial Work Log entry
|
||||
4. Determine status: `pending` (needs triage) or `ready` (pre-approved)
|
||||
5. Add relevant tags for filtering
|
||||
|
||||
**When to create a todo:**
|
||||
- Requires more than 15-20 minutes of work
|
||||
- Needs research, planning, or multiple approaches considered
|
||||
- Has dependencies on other work
|
||||
- Requires manager approval or prioritization
|
||||
- Part of larger feature or refactor
|
||||
- Technical debt needing documentation
|
||||
|
||||
**When to act immediately instead:**
|
||||
- Issue is trivial (< 15 minutes)
|
||||
- Complete context available now
|
||||
- No planning needed
|
||||
- User explicitly requests immediate action
|
||||
- Simple bug fix with obvious solution
|
||||
|
||||
### Triaging Pending Items
|
||||
|
||||
**To triage pending todos:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. List pending items: `ls todos/*-pending-*.md`
|
||||
2. For each todo:
|
||||
- Read Problem Statement and Findings
|
||||
- Review Proposed Solutions
|
||||
- Make decision: approve, defer, or modify priority
|
||||
3. Update approved todos:
|
||||
- Rename file: `mv {file}-pending-{pri}-{desc}.md {file}-ready-{pri}-{desc}.md`
|
||||
- Update frontmatter: `status: pending` → `status: ready`
|
||||
- Fill "Recommended Action" section with clear plan
|
||||
- Adjust priority if different from initial assessment
|
||||
4. Deferred todos stay in `pending` status
|
||||
|
||||
**Use slash command:** `/triage` for interactive approval workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### Managing Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
**To track dependencies:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
dependencies: ["002", "005"] # This todo blocked by issues 002 and 005
|
||||
dependencies: [] # No blockers - can work immediately
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**To check what blocks a todo:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep "^dependencies:" todos/003-*.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**To find what a todo blocks:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep -l 'dependencies:.*"002"' todos/*.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**To verify blockers are complete before starting:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
for dep in 001 002 003; do
|
||||
[ -f "todos/${dep}-complete-*.md" ] || echo "Issue $dep not complete"
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Updating Work Logs
|
||||
|
||||
**When working on a todo, always add a work log entry:**
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
### YYYY-MM-DD - Session Title
|
||||
|
||||
**By:** Claude Code / Developer Name
|
||||
|
||||
**Actions:**
|
||||
- Specific changes made (include file:line references)
|
||||
- Commands executed
|
||||
- Tests run
|
||||
- Results of investigation
|
||||
|
||||
**Learnings:**
|
||||
- What worked / what didn't
|
||||
- Patterns discovered
|
||||
- Key insights for future work
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Work logs serve as:
|
||||
- Historical record of investigation
|
||||
- Documentation of approaches attempted
|
||||
- Knowledge sharing for team
|
||||
- Context for future similar work
|
||||
|
||||
### Completing a Todo
|
||||
|
||||
**To mark a todo as complete:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify all acceptance criteria checked off
|
||||
2. Update Work Log with final session and results
|
||||
3. Rename file: `mv {file}-ready-{pri}-{desc}.md {file}-complete-{pri}-{desc}.md`
|
||||
4. Update frontmatter: `status: ready` → `status: complete`
|
||||
5. Check for unblocked work: `grep -l 'dependencies:.*"002"' todos/*-ready-*.md`
|
||||
6. Commit with issue reference: `feat: resolve issue 002`
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration with Development Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
| Trigger | Flow | Tool |
|
||||
|---------|------|------|
|
||||
| Code review | `/review` → Findings → `/triage` → Todos | Review agent + skill |
|
||||
| PR comments | `/resolve_pr_parallel` → Individual fixes → Todos | gh CLI + skill |
|
||||
| Code TODOs | `/resolve_todo_parallel` → Fixes + Complex todos | Agent + skill |
|
||||
| Planning | Brainstorm → Create todo → Work → Complete | Skill |
|
||||
| Feedback | Discussion → Create todo → Triage → Work | Skill + slash |
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Reference Commands
|
||||
|
||||
**Finding work:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# List highest priority unblocked work
|
||||
grep -l 'dependencies: \[\]' todos/*-ready-p1-*.md
|
||||
|
||||
# List all pending items needing triage
|
||||
ls todos/*-pending-*.md
|
||||
|
||||
# Find next issue ID
|
||||
ls todos/ | grep -o '^[0-9]\+' | sort -n | tail -1 | awk '{printf "%03d", $1+1}'
|
||||
|
||||
# Count by status
|
||||
for status in pending ready complete; do
|
||||
echo "$status: $(ls -1 todos/*-$status-*.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l)"
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Dependency management:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# What blocks this todo?
|
||||
grep "^dependencies:" todos/003-*.md
|
||||
|
||||
# What does this todo block?
|
||||
grep -l 'dependencies:.*"002"' todos/*.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Searching:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Search by tag
|
||||
grep -l "tags:.*rails" todos/*.md
|
||||
|
||||
# Search by priority
|
||||
ls todos/*-p1-*.md
|
||||
|
||||
# Full-text search
|
||||
grep -r "payment" todos/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Distinctions
|
||||
|
||||
**File-todos system (this skill):**
|
||||
- Markdown files in `todos/` directory
|
||||
- Development/project tracking
|
||||
- Standalone markdown files with YAML frontmatter
|
||||
- Used by humans and agents
|
||||
|
||||
**Rails Todo model:**
|
||||
- Database model in `app/models/todo.rb`
|
||||
- User-facing feature in the application
|
||||
- Active Record CRUD operations
|
||||
- Different from this file-based system
|
||||
|
||||
**TodoWrite tool:**
|
||||
- In-memory task tracking during agent sessions
|
||||
- Temporary tracking for single conversation
|
||||
- Not persisted to disk
|
||||
- Different from both systems above
