Todo Rule

This rule defines guidelines for working with TODO items in the MCP Home Assistant Server project.

Format Requirements

• All TODO items should be written in markdown format using checkboxes
• Each TODO item should be maximum 72 characters long
• Use - [ ] for incomplete tasks and - [x] for completed tasks
• Group related tasks under appropriate headers with ## or ### markdown syntax
• Keep task descriptions concise but clear - summarize the task efficiently
• Tasks should be ordered by dependency (items that depend on others come later)

Structure

TODO lists should be structured as follows:

# Project Name - TODO List

## Main Category

- [ ] Task 1 description (max 72 chars)
- [ ] Task 2 description (max 72 chars)

### Subcategory

- [ ] More specific task 1
- [ ] More specific task 2

Complexity Guidelines

• Each task should represent a single unit of work
• Complex tasks should be broken down into subtasks
• If a task requires multiple steps, create a subtask list beneath it
• Avoid overly technical language in task descriptions

Interaction Rules

When working with TODOs:

1. Always maintain the maximum 72 character limit per task
2. Keep the hierarchical structure intact
3. Group similar tasks together under appropriate headers
4. Mark tasks as complete with - [x] syntax when finished
5. Do not delete completed tasks (mark them complete instead)
6. Add new tasks at the appropriate section, not just at the end

Formatting

Use Prettier to maintain consistent formatting:

npx prettier -c -w TODO.md

The todo.mdc rule helps ensure consistent TODO management across the project.
