sweep-todos

A command that finds TODO and TASK comments in a codebase and turns them into items in the built-in task list.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to collect each comment’s text, file path, line number, and nearby code context as actionable tasks.
Why use it?
It prevents unfinished reminders hidden in source comments from being overlooked during planning.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sweep-todos scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Find all TODO and TASK comments in the codebase and add them as tasks using TaskCreate.

Steps

  1. Find all occurrences of "TODO" and "TASK" in the codebase using grep/search
  2. For each occurrence, gather:
    • File path
    • Line number
    • Full TODO/TASK comment text
  3. Strip comment markers (//, #, /* */) from the TODO/TASK text
  4. For each TODO or TASK, create a task using TaskCreate with:
    • subject: An imperative description derived from the comment (e.g., "Extract commonality in getRootNodes and getChildNodes")
    • activeForm: Present continuous form for spinner text (e.g., "Extracting commonality in getRootNodes and getChildNodes")
    • description: The full context including:
      • The original comment text
      • The absolute file path and line number where the TODO/TASK was found
      • A few lines of surrounding code context for clarity
  5. Report how many tasks were created

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
