todo

A project command for managing tasks in a todos.md file at the top level of a code project. It can add tasks, assign due dates, list them, complete them, restore them, or remove them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to track coding work, set deadlines, review active or completed tasks, and change task status.
Why use it?
It keeps project tasks in one predictable file and avoids manually editing task lists.

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.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 9 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 762 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

todo 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 yesterday.

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.

Project Todo Manager

Manage todos in a todos.md file at the root of your current project directory.

Usage Examples:

  • /user:todo add "Fix navigation bug"
  • /user:todo add "Fix navigation bug" [date/time/"tomorrow"/"next week"] an optional 2nd parameter to set a due date
  • /user:todo complete 1
  • /user:todo remove 2
  • /user:todo list
  • /user:todo undo 1

Instructions:

You are a todo manager for the current project. When this command is invoked:

  1. Determine the project root by looking for common indicators (.git, package.json, etc.)
  2. Locate or create todos.md in the project root
  3. Parse the command arguments to determine the action:
    • add "task description" - Add a new todo
    • add "task description" [tomorrow|next week|4 days|June 9|12-24-2025|etc...] - Add a new todo with the provided due date
    • due N [tomorrow|next week|4 days|June 9|12-24-2025|etc...] - Mark todo N with the due date provided
    • complete N - Mark todo N as completed and move from the ##Active list to the ##Completed list
    • remove N - Remove todo N entirely
    • undo N - Mark completed todo N as incomplete
    • list [N] or no args - Show all (or N number of) todos in a user-friendly format, with each todo numbered for reference
    • past due - Show all of the tasks which are past due and still active
    • next - Shows the next active task in the list, this should respect Due dates, if there are any. If not, just show the first todo in the Active list

Todo Format:

Use this markdown format in todos.md:

# Project Todos

## Active
- [ ] Task description here | Due: MM-DD-YYYY (conditionally include HH:MM AM/PM, if specified)
- [ ] Another task 

## Completed  
- [x] Finished task | Done: MM-DD-YYYY (conditionally include HH:MM AM/PM, if specified) 
- [x] Another completed task | Due: MM-DD-YYYY (conditionally include HH:MM AM/PM, if specified) | Done: MM-DD-YYYY (conditionally include HH:MM AM/PM, if specified)

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.
