Review findings, PR nitpicks, and tech debt that does not merit a full GitHub issue go to .claude/todos/NNN-{status}-{priority}-{description}.md with YAML frontmatter. Three skills compose - /todo-create (canonical writer), /todo-triage (interactive pending->ready), /todo-resolve (batch-resolve ready todos via parallel subagents). Fills the gap between review-found-it and cut-an-issue with a lightweight, in-repo third option. - Category: workflow - Status: stable - Tags: todos, review, pr-feedback, tech-debt, tracker, triage - Dependencies: skill-authoring, subagent-patterns - Presets: full - Context cost: no always-loaded rules - Last updated: 2026-06-22T16:07:44-04:00 - Available as a native plugin marketplace entry ## README # Todos File-based review-finding tracker. Review findings, PR nitpicks, and tech debt that does not warrant a full GitHub issue go to `.claude/todos/NNN-{status}-{priority}-{slug}.md` in the repo being worked on. ## Why CCGM already has two coordination surfaces: | Surface | Scope | Commit to repo? | |---|---|---| | GitHub Issues + tracking.csv | cross-session, cross-agent, user-triaged work | no (GitHub + log repo) | | `self-improving` / `compound-knowledge` | durable learnings and patterns | yes (per-repo and personal) | Neither fits a p3 nitpick a reviewer leaves on line 42 of a PR. An issue is heavyweight. A learning is the wrong type. The item still deserves to be written down somewhere, or it gets lost between "review found it" and "cut an issue." `todos` fills that gap. It is deliberately lightweight - three skills, a filename convention, a small frontmatter schema. No hooks, no hidden state, no external service. ## File Layout ``` .claude/todos/ README.md # per-repo convention reminder 001-pending-p2-extract-auth-middleware.md # freshly captured 002-ready-p3-rename-foo-to-bar.md # triaged, scoped, ready to fix 003-complete-p1-fix-null-pointer.md # done, kept for history .runs/ # optional autofix run artifacts 20260416-1430.md ``` Filename encodes status and priority so a bare `ls` gives a visual scan without reading each file. Status changes rename the file in place. See `skills/todo-create/references/schema.yaml` for the full frontmatter schema. ## What This Module Provides Files installed globally to `~/.claude/`: | Source | Target | Purpose | |--------|--------|---------| | `skills/todo-create/SKILL.md` | `skills/todo-create/SKILL.md` | `/todo-create` - canonical writer | | `skills/todo-create/references/schema.yaml` | `skills/todo-create/references/schema.yaml` | YAML schema for frontmatter | | `skills/todo-triage/SKILL.md` | `skills/todo-triage/SKILL.md` | `/todo-triage` - pending -> ready | | `skills/todo-resolve/SKILL.md` | `skills/todo-resolve/SKILL.md` | `/todo-resolve` - batch-fix ready todos | ## Manual Installation ```bash # From the CCGM repo root: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/todo-create/references mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/todo-triage mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/todo-resolve cp modules/todos/skills/todo-create/SKILL.md \ ~/.claude/skills/todo-create/SKILL.md cp modules/todos/skills/todo-create/references/schema.yaml \ ~/.claude/skills/todo-create/references/schema.yaml cp modules/todos/skills/todo-triage/SKILL.md \ ~/.claude/skills/todo-triage/SKILL.md cp modules/todos/skills/todo-resolve/SKILL.md \ ~/.claude/skills/todo-resolve/SKILL.md ``` ## Per-Repo Bootstrap `todos` writes to the repo being worked on, not CCGM or `~/.claude/`. Each consuming repo needs a small one-time setup: 1. `.claude/todos/` - the skill creates this on first use. 2. `.claude/todos/README.md` - the skill writes this on first use, explaining the convention. 3. A pointer block in the repo's `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md`: ```markdown ## Todos Review findings and PR nitpicks that do not warrant a GitHub issue live in `.claude/todos/` as `NNN-{status}-{priority}-{slug}.md` files. Run `/todo-triage` to promote pending todos to ready; run `/todo-resolve` to batch-fix ready todos. ``` The `/todo-create` skill runs a Discoverability Check on first use and offers to add the pointer and README if missing. Pre-seeding is optional. ## Usage ### Capture a finding ``` /todo-create extract the auth middleware out of the request handler, p2 /todo-create ``` With arguments, writes the todo directly. With no arguments, uses the most recent review finding or PR comment visible in the conversation. ### Triage the pending list ``` /todo-triage /todo-triage mode:autofix /todo-triage mode:report-only ``` Walks each pending todo and asks confirm / skip / modify / drop. Confirmed todos get a Proposed Change section and move to ready. `mode:autofix` only promotes todos with already-concrete bodies; vague ones stay pending. ### Batch-resolve ready todos ``` /todo-resolve /todo-resolve priority:p3 /todo-resolve only:7,12,19 /todo-resolve mode:autofix /todo-resolve mode:report-only ``` Dispatches parallel subagents, one per ready todo, with pass-paths-not-contents. Applies fixes, updates status to complete, posts inline PR replies for PR-sourced todos, and prints a run summary. Skips todos whose dependencies are not complete. ## Composition With Other CCGM Skills `todo-create` is the canonical writer. Other skills invoke it rather than duplicating the filename and frontmatter rules: - `ce-review` (future) - for each finding not fixed inline during review, call `/todo-create` instead of writing its own file. - `resolve-pr-feedback` (future, CCGM #283) - for each PR comment that cannot be fixed in the same pass, call `/todo-create` with `source: pr-comment`. - `/xplan` - for future-work items surfaced during planning that are not scope for the current plan. All three resolver-style skills (`/todo-resolve`, `ce-review`, `/xplan`) share the pass-paths-not-contents dispatch and four-state subagent return contract documented in `modules/subagent-patterns/rules/subagent-patterns.md`. ## Dependencies - `skill-authoring` - all three skills follow the skill-authoring discipline (reference files via backticks, imperative voice, mode token parsing, etc.) - `subagent-patterns` - `/todo-resolve` uses the pass-paths-not-contents dispatch pattern and the four-state status protocol No runtime dependencies beyond the module system. ## Non-Goals This module does **not**: - Replace GitHub Issues. Issues stay the source of truth for multi-session, cross-agent work. - Replace `compound-knowledge`. Todos are short-lived work items; `docs/solutions/` is durable team knowledge. - Ship a TUI or web UI. `ls .claude/todos/` and your editor are the UI. - Install `.claude/todos/` in any repo. The skill bootstraps per-repo on first use. ## Source Ported from EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin (`skills/todo-create`, `skills/todo-triage`, `skills/todo-resolve`). The original ships under `.context/compound-engineering/todos/`; CCGM adopts the same three-skill structure at `.claude/todos/` to match CCGM's directory conventions. Adaptations from the source: - Directory path: `.claude/todos/` instead of `.context/compound-engineering/todos/` - Mode token names match the CCGM skill-authoring convention (`mode:interactive`, `mode:autofix`, `mode:report-only`, `mode:headless`) - Frontmatter schema is extracted to `skills/todo-create/references/schema.yaml` so the skill body does not carry it in every invocation - `/todo-resolve` dispatch uses the pass-paths-not-contents pattern and the four-state subagent return contract (`DONE`, `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS`, `BLOCKED`, `NEEDS_CONTEXT`) from `modules/subagent-patterns` ## Files ### skill #### skills/todo-create/SKILL.md ```` --- name: todo-create description: > Capture a review finding, PR comment, or tech-debt item as a file under .claude/todos/ in the current repo. Writes NNN-{status}-{priority}-{slug}.md with YAML frontmatter per the schema. Canonical writer - other skills (todo-triage, todo-resolve, ce-review) call this one to avoid duplicating the file-naming and frontmatter rules. Todos start as status:pending by default; promote via /todo-triage. Triggers: todo, add todo, capture this as a todo, track this finding, write a todo, note this for later, add to todos. disable-model-invocation: true --- # /todo-create - Write a Todo Capture a reviewable item that is not worth a full GitHub issue but is worth not forgetting. Writes `.claude/todos/NNN-{status}-{priority}-{slug}.md` in the current repo. ## When to Use Write a todo when: - A code reviewer flags a nitpick or small concern and the fix does not fit in this PR - A PR reviewer leaves a comment that needs action later (not immediate) - While solving problem A you notice problem B and do not want to context-switch - `/xplan` surfaces a future-work item that is not scope for the current plan - A debug session uncovers tech debt adjacent to the bug being fixed Do NOT write a todo when: - The item belongs in a GitHub issue (multi-session, cross-cutting, needs product input) - The item belongs in team-shared knowledge (durable learning - use `/compound` instead) - The item belongs in personal memory (user preference, working style - use self-improving) - You can fix it right now in two minutes - just fix it The rule: **agent time is cheap, tech debt is expensive. If an item is valid, capture it - including nitpicks.** ## Directory Todos live in `.claude/todos/` in the repo being worked on, not in CCGM or `~/.claude/`. This is a per-repo concern, committed with the rest of the code. If `.claude/todos/` does not exist: 1. Create it. 2. Write `.claude/todos/README.md` with a one-paragraph summary of the convention and a pointer to this skill. 3. Offer to add a short pointer block to the repo's `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md`: ```markdown ## Todos Review findings and PR nitpicks that do not warrant a GitHub issue live in `.claude/todos/` as `NNN-{status}-{priority}-{slug}.md` files. Run `/todo-triage` to promote pending todos to ready; run `/todo-resolve` to batch-fix ready todos. ``` ## Inputs Parse `$ARGUMENTS` for: - A free-form description (everything else). Example: `/todo-create extract the auth middleware out of the request handler, p2, from ce-review` If `$ARGUMENTS` is empty, use the most recent discussion context - the last review finding, PR comment, or debug observation visible in the current conversation. Infer the following from context (ask only when genuinely unclear): - `priority` - p1 (blocks something), p2 (this cycle), p3 (nitpick). Default p3 if the item came from a nitpick or style comment, p2 otherwise. - `source` - review, pr-comment, debug, planning, ad-hoc. Default ad-hoc. - `pr` - if a PR number is visible in context, record it. - `files` - paths the todo touches, if known. - `status` - always `pending` at creation. Triage promotes. ## Sequence Number Allocation Pick the next number by scanning existing files: ```bash ls .claude/todos/*.md 2>/dev/null \ | sed -E 's#.*/([0-9]{3})-.*#\1#' \ | sort -n | tail -1 ``` Increment by one, zero-pad to three digits. If no files exist, start at `001`. Never reuse numbers. ## Filename and Frontmatter Filename: `.claude/todos/NNN-pending-{priority}-{slug}.md` Slug rules (matches `references/schema.yaml`): - lowercase, kebab-case - <= 40 chars - no trailing punctuation - truncate at a word boundary, not mid-word Frontmatter - see `references/schema.yaml` for the full schema. Required fields on every todo: ```yaml --- title: status: pending priority: created: source: --- ``` Include `pr`, `files`, `dependencies`, `tags` when known. ## Body Write the body in this order: 1. **Context** - one paragraph. Where did this surface? Who flagged it? What were they working on? 2. **Problem** - what is wrong or missing, concretely. If the item came from a review comment, quote the relevant sentence. 3. (Skip **Proposed change** at create time - `/todo-triage` writes this when promoting to ready.) 4. **Notes** - optional. Links to the PR thread, prior docs, or adjacent todos. Do not speculate about the fix at create time. The triage pass is the place to commit to a direction; capture just enough for triage to have the context it needs. ## Output After writing the file, print one line: ``` Wrote .claude/todos/NNN-pending-{priority}-{slug}.md (source: {source}) ``` If the caller is another skill (headless mode - see `modules/subagent-patterns/rules/subagent-patterns.md`), return the created path in a structured envelope instead of printing. ## When Called From Another Skill `todo-create` is the canonical writer. `/todo-triage`, `/todo-resolve`, and the review orchestrator (`ce-review`) invoke it to avoid duplicating the filename/frontmatter rules. When called this way: - Skip the Discoverability Check (the caller has already bootstrapped `.claude/todos/`) - Accept a structured input object instead of parsing `$ARGUMENTS` - Return the created path as structured output, no conversational prose See `references/schema.yaml` for the exact fields. ```` #### skills/todo-triage/SKILL.md ```` --- name: todo-triage description: > Walk every pending todo in .claude/todos/ one at a time. For each, confirm / skip / modify / drop, and on confirm, promote to status:ready with a concrete Proposed Change section. Interactive by default; supports mode:autofix for low-risk promotions and mode:report-only for a dry-run table. Runs before /todo-resolve so the resolver only sees scoped, agreed-upon items. Triggers: todo triage, triage todos, review todos, promote todos, walk the todo list, clean up todos. disable-model-invocation: true --- # /todo-triage - Promote Pending Todos to Ready `/todo-create` captures raw findings. `/todo-triage` decides which ones to fix. The purpose of triage is not to be strict - it is to turn vague captures into scoped, agreed-upon work. A ready todo has a one-paragraph Proposed Change that another agent (or human) can execute without re-reading the review thread. ## When to Run - Before starting `/todo-resolve` so the resolver only touches scoped items - After a batch of `/todo-create` calls (e.g., at the end of a review session) - Weekly, as a standing chore - pending todos drift into irrelevance faster than ready ones - Before closing out a milestone, to decide which pending items graduate to ready vs. drop ## Mode Selection Parse `$ARGUMENTS` for a mode token (convention from `modules/subagent-patterns/rules/subagent-patterns.md`): - `mode:interactive` (default) - For each pending todo, ask the user confirm / skip / modify / drop - `mode:autofix` - Auto-promote any pending todo where the body is concrete enough to write a Proposed Change without user input; leave everything else as pending - `mode:report-only` - Strictly read-only. Print a classification table per todo and exit When composed from another skill (e.g., `ce-review`), prefer `mode:report-only` and let the caller decide per-item. ## Phase 1: Inventory List every `.claude/todos/NNN-pending-*.md` in the current repo: ```bash ls .claude/todos/*-pending-*.md 2>/dev/null ``` Sort by priority (p1 > p2 > p3), then by sequence number ascending within each priority band. This surfaces the most urgent items first and preserves capture order as a tiebreaker. If zero pending todos: print "No pending todos. Nothing to triage." and exit. ## Phase 2: Per-Todo Decision For each pending todo in the sorted list: 1. Read the file (frontmatter + body). 2. Summarize in two to three lines: - `#NNN [{priority}] {title}` - Context one-liner (from body Context section) - What would Proposed Change look like, in one sentence 3. Prompt the user (interactive mode): ``` [C]onfirm + promote to ready [S]kip (leave pending) [M]odify title / priority [D]rop (delete file) ``` 4. Apply the decision: - **Confirm** - write the Proposed Change section in the body (one paragraph, imperative voice). Change frontmatter `status: pending` -> `status: ready`. Rename file from `NNN-pending-{priority}-{slug}.md` to `NNN-ready-{priority}-{slug}.md`. - **Skip** - no-op. Todo stays pending. - **Modify** - ask only for the fields being changed (title, priority). Rewrite frontmatter and rename file if priority changed. - **Drop** - delete the file. Print the NNN and title so there is a record in the session. In `mode:autofix`: - Confirm automatically if the body already contains explicit direction (e.g., the Context section says "reviewer suggests extracting X into Y") - Skip (leave pending) if the body is vague or a decision is needed - Never auto-drop In `mode:report-only`: - Print the per-todo summary above, plus a recommended decision (Confirm / Skip / Drop), but take no action ## Phase 3: Proposed Change Template When promoting to ready, write or append a `## Proposed change` section to the body. Use this template: ```markdown ## Proposed change **Files**: **Estimated effort**: (< 30 min / 30-120 min / > 2 hr) **Acceptance check**: ``` If the Proposed Change is uncertain enough that the user would need to provide it, do not autofix - prompt. ## Phase 4: Summary After the walk, print a compact summary: ``` Triaged N pending todos: promoted -> ready : M dropped : K modified : J still pending : P ``` If any ready todos now exist, suggest the next step: ``` Next: run /todo-resolve to batch-fix M ready todos, or pick specific ones. ``` ## File Renaming Notes Renaming is atomic per todo. If a rename fails (filesystem, permissions), roll back the frontmatter edit so the file and frontmatter stay consistent. Never leave a file where the frontmatter status does not match the filename status - `/todo-resolve` relies on both being in sync. ## Composition When called from `ce-review` or another orchestrator in headless mode: - Accept a list of todo paths as structured input instead of walking the whole directory - Return a structured report: `{ promoted: [...], skipped: [...], dropped: [...] }` - Do not prompt the user; honor `mode:autofix` or `mode:report-only` strictly See `modules/subagent-patterns/rules/subagent-patterns.md` for the mode contract. ```` #### skills/todo-resolve/SKILL.md ```` --- name: todo-resolve description: > Batch-resolve ready todos in .claude/todos/. Dispatches parallel subagents (one per todo) with pass-paths-not-contents, aggregates their fixes, updates each todo's status to complete, and optionally feeds the pattern back into /compound for team knowledge. Filter by priority, source, or explicit numbers. Skips todos whose dependencies are not complete. Modes - interactive (confirm before each) / autofix / report-only / headless. Triggers: todo resolve, resolve todos, fix ready todos, batch fix todos, burn down todos, process the todo list. disable-model-invocation: true --- # /todo-resolve - Batch-Fix Ready Todos `/todo-triage` decides which todos are ready. `/todo-resolve` does the work. This skill exists because small findings accumulate. Ten p3 nits are individually trivial but collectively a drag. Dispatching one subagent per todo lets the orchestrator burn through them in parallel without polluting the main context. ## When to Run - At the start of a session, before diving into new feature work - clear the backlog first - After `/todo-triage` promotes a batch of items to ready - Before cutting a release or merging a long-lived branch - land the nitpicks with the feature - When a reviewer comes back with cluster of small comments and you would rather batch than ping-pong Do not run during active feature development on the same files - the parallel fan-out will conflict with in-flight edits. ## Mode Selection Parse `$ARGUMENTS` for a mode token: - `mode:interactive` (default) - Plan the batch, show the plan, ask before dispatching - `mode:autofix` - Plan and dispatch without asking; write a run artifact at `.claude/todos/.runs/YYYYMMDD-HHMM.md` summarizing what landed - `mode:report-only` - Produce the plan only. Do not dispatch. Safe for concurrent runs - `mode:headless` - For skill-to-skill composition. Structured output envelope, no prompts, no conversational prose, terminal "Resolve complete" line ## Filtering Parse `$ARGUMENTS` for optional filters (compose with the mode token): - `priority:p1` (or `p2`, `p3`) - only this priority band - `source:review` (or `pr-comment`, `debug`, `planning`, `ad-hoc`) - only this source - `pr:123` - only todos tied to PR 123 - `only:7,12,19` - only the listed sequence numbers - no filter - all `status: ready` todos ## Phase 1: Plan 1. List candidates: every `.claude/todos/NNN-ready-*.md` matching the filter. 2. For each candidate, read frontmatter and body. 3. Build a dependency graph from the `dependencies` frontmatter field. 4. Skip any todo whose dependencies are not `status: complete`. Record these as `blocked` in the plan, do not dispatch. 5. Print the plan: ``` Plan: resolve N ready todos in parallel. dispatching: #007 [p2] extract-auth-middleware (files: src/auth/*.ts) #012 [p3] rename-foo-to-bar (files: src/utils/foo.ts) blocked (dependencies not complete): #019 [p2] add-rate-limiter (waits on #015) skipped (out of filter): #003 [p1] ... ``` 6. In `mode:interactive`, ask: `Dispatch N subagents in parallel? [y/n/edit]`. In `mode:autofix` and `mode:headless`, proceed. In `mode:report-only`, stop here. ## Phase 2: Dispatch Dispatch one subagent per non-blocked todo, in parallel. Each subagent spec: > **Concurrency — avoid the 429 throttle.** Dispatch resolver subagents at `model: "sonnet"` with medium reasoning effort, and **launch at most 4 at once**. If more than 4 todos are ready, run them in sequential waves of 4 (dispatch 4, wait for them to return, dispatch the next 4) rather than one burst — a batch of 10 ready todos must NOT become 10 simultaneous agents. Bursting too many heavy agents trips a server-side rate limit (`Server is temporarily limiting requests · Rate limited`) that fails the whole batch; if you hit it, wait 30–60s and re-dispatch only the unfinished todos in waves of ≤4. See `~/.claude/rules/concurrency-and-rate-limits.md`. **Objective** - Implement the Proposed Change section of the todo file. **Context** (pass paths, not contents - see `modules/subagent-patterns/rules/subagent-patterns.md`): - Path to the todo file: `.claude/todos/NNN-ready-{priority}-{slug}.md` - Paths from the todo's `files` frontmatter field (if present) - Path to the repo's `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md` for house style **Constraints**: - Modify only the files in the todo's `files` field. If a change requires editing a path not listed, STOP and return `BLOCKED` with an explanation. - No cross-todo edits. If the fix uncovers a second issue, write a new todo via `/todo-create` and keep it out of the current fix. - One commit per todo if committing inside the subagent; otherwise return the diff for the orchestrator to commit. **Deliverable** - Either: - `DONE` + diff + one-paragraph resolution note, or - `BLOCKED` + reason, or - `NEEDS_CONTEXT` + the specific missing information, or - `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS` + diff + concerns section See `modules/subagent-patterns/rules/subagent-patterns.md` for the four-state completion protocol. ## Phase 3: Two-Stage Review When subagents return, do not trust self-reports. Two passes (see subagent-patterns): 1. **Spec compliance** - Did each subagent do what was asked? Constraints respected? 2. **Code quality** - Does the diff match project patterns? Any missed edge cases? Re-dispatch with specific feedback for any subagent that failed either stage. Do not silently patch subagent output. ## Phase 4: Commit and Close For each `DONE` subagent: 1. Stage the diff if not already committed. 2. Commit with message: `#todo-NNN: {title}` (plural `todos: ...` if batching multiple into one commit). 3. Update the todo file: - Frontmatter: `status: ready` -> `status: complete` - Body: append a `## Resolution` section with the resolution note and commit SHA 4. Rename file: `NNN-ready-{priority}-{slug}.md` -> `NNN-complete-{priority}-{slug}.md` For each `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS`: same as DONE, but preserve the concerns section in the Resolution body for future reference. For each `BLOCKED` or `NEEDS_CONTEXT`: leave the todo as ready, append a `## Attempt` section noting what was tried and why it stalled. ## Phase 5: Report and Compound Print a run summary: ``` Resolved N ready todos: complete : M blocked : K needs_context : J concerns : P Commits: {shas} ``` If M >= 3 or any concerns were flagged, suggest: ``` Consider running /compound to capture the pattern that surfaced across these fixes. ``` Do not auto-invoke `/compound`. Compound is explicit - the user or the orchestrator decides when a batch of todos represents a durable team learning vs. just cleanup. ## PR Comment Back-Reference For todos with a `pr:` frontmatter field and source `pr-comment`: - After the fix commits, post a short inline reply on the GitHub PR thread via `gh api` noting the resolution (commit SHA + one-line summary). - Do not resolve the thread automatically - the reviewer resolves. Post, do not close. If `gh` is not authenticated or the PR is merged, skip the comment and note it in the run summary. ## Composition When called from `ce-review` or a batch orchestrator in `mode:headless`: - Accept explicit todo paths instead of scanning the directory - Return a structured envelope: `{ complete: [...], blocked: [...], concerns: [...] }` - Do not prompt, do not post conversational prose - End with `Resolve complete` on its own line so the caller can detect termination See `modules/subagent-patterns/rules/subagent-patterns.md` for the full mode contract. ## Agent Time vs. Tech Debt The adoption rationale for this whole module: **agent time is cheap, tech debt is expensive**. A p3 nit that sits in a review thread forever costs more in re-review and context-switching than it does to fix in a parallel subagent. Default to resolving, not deferring. The only reason to leave a ready todo unresolved is a real dependency or a legitimate scope concern - not "it is small, I will get to it." ```` ### doc #### skills/todo-create/references/schema.yaml ``` # Frontmatter schema for .claude/todos/**/*.md # # Every todo file under .claude/todos/ starts with a YAML frontmatter # block matching this schema.
