Markdown Task Management

This skill enables working with the markdown task list stored in .llm/todo.md.

Important: Do Not Explore Plugin Directory

The scripts referenced below are part of this plugin and are pre-verified to work correctly. Do NOT:

  • Search for or read the .py script files
  • Explore the plugin directory
  • Try to understand the script implementation

Simply run the bash commands exactly as shown. The scripts handle all the complexity internally.

Scripts

task_get.py - Extract Next Task

Extract the first incomplete task with its context by running this command (do NOT read the script file):

skills/tasks/scripts/task_get.py .llm/todo.md

Returns the first [ ] checkbox line with all indented context lines below it.

Exit codes: 0 (success), 1 (file not found or error)

task_add.py - Add New Task

Add a new task by running this command (do NOT read the script file):

skills/tasks/scripts/task_add.py .llm/todo.md "Task description
  Context line 1
  Context line 2"

Creates the .llm/ directory and todo.md file if they do not exist, and appends the new task with a [ ] checkbox. The script preserves all indentation in multi-line strings.

Exit codes: 0 (success), 1 (error)

task_complete.py - Mark Task Done

Mark the first incomplete task as done by running this command (do NOT read the script file):

skills/tasks/scripts/task_complete.py .llm/todo.md

Changes the first [ ] to [x].

Exit codes: 0 (success), 1 (no incomplete tasks or error)

task_archive.py - Archive Task List

Archive a completed task list by running this command (do NOT read the script file):

skills/tasks/scripts/task_archive.py .llm/todo.md

Moves the file to .llm/YYYY-MM-DD-todo.md where YYYY-MM-DD is today's date.

Exit codes: 0 (success), 1 (file not found or error)

Task Format

The task list is in .llm/todo.md.

NEVER use the Read tool on .llm/todo.md. Always interact with the task list exclusively through the Python scripts.

Task States

  • [ ] - Not started (ready to work on)
  • [x] - Completed
  • [!] - Blocked after failed attempt

Task Structure

Each task includes indented context lines with full implementation details:

  • Absolute file paths
  • Exact function/class names
  • Code analogies to existing patterns
  • Dependencies and prerequisites
  • Expected outcomes

Standalone Context

Each task is extracted and executed in isolation. Every task must contain ALL context needed to implement it. Repeat shared context in every related task. Never reference other tasks.
