Check Todos

Instructions

1. Read TO-DOS.md in the working directory (if doesn't exist, say "No outstanding todos" and exit)

2. Parse and display todos:

   • Extract all list items starting with - ** (active todos)
   • If none exist, say "No outstanding todos" and exit
   • Display compact numbered list showing:
     • Number (for selection)
     • Bold title only (part between ** markers)
     • Date from h2 heading above it
   • Prompt: "Reply with the number of the todo you'd like to work on."
   • Wait for user to reply with a number

3. Load full context for selected todo:

   • Display complete line with all fields (Problem, Files, Solution)
   • Display h2 heading (topic + date) for additional context
   • Read and briefly summarize relevant files mentioned

4. Check for established workflows:

   • Read CLAUDE.md (if exists) to understand project-specific workflows and rules
   • Look for .claude/skills/ directory
   • Match file paths in todo to domain patterns (plugins/ → plugin workflow, mcp-servers/ → MCP workflow)
   • Check CLAUDE.md for explicit workflow requirements for this type of work

5. Present action options to user:

   • If matching skill/workflow found: "This looks like [domain] work. Would you like to:\n\n1. Invoke [skill-name] skill and start\n2. Work on it directly\n3. Brainstorm approach first\n4. Put it back and browse other todos\n\nReply with the number of your choice."
   • If no workflow match: "Would you like to:\n\n1. Start working on it\n2. Brainstorm approach first\n3. Put it back and browse other todos\n\nReply with the number of your choice."
   • Wait for user response

6. Handle user choice:

   • Option "Invoke skill" or "Start working": Remove todo from TO-DOS.md (and h2 heading if section becomes empty), then begin work (invoke skill if applicable, or proceed directly)
   • Option "Brainstorm approach": Keep todo in file, invoke /brainstorm with the todo description as argument
   • Option "Put it back": Keep todo in file, return to step 2 to display the full list again
