progress-tracking

A simple todo-list convention for tracking multi-step agent procedures. It records each ordered step and marks it as started or completed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during any procedure with two or more steps, such as implementing several changes or completing multiple review tasks.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that an agent silently skips part of a procedure or loses track of progress. It does not create a project artifact or block work.

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

progress-tracking 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

Progress Tracking

A convention, not a gate. It produces no artifact and blocks nothing. It shapes how any agent or skill executing a multi-step procedure keeps its own work visible, so steps are not silently skipped.

When it applies

When a procedure has two or more ordered steps, seed one todo item per step before starting and mark each complete as you go. A single-step procedure is exempt — a one-item ledger is noise.

Per-step granularity

One todo item per numbered step — not per phase, not per file. When a procedure states goals and constraints rather than numbered steps, seed one item per natural unit of work (a slice, a question, a hard-gate finding), never one per sentence of guidance. Mark each item in_progress when its step starts and completed when that step lands, matching how team-fix already marks each step.

Ledger ownership

The orchestrator (the main Claude Code session) owns the single phase-level ledger. An agent executing a multi-step skill tracks its own sub-steps within its own context and never merges them up into the orchestrator's phase ledger. A standalone, directly-invoked skill seeds its own ledger. The two ledgers live in separate ownership scopes and are never read across.

The orchestrator's phase-level TodoWrite contract lives in skills/qrspi-workflow/SKILL.md — the phase-ledger sibling of this per-procedure convention.

Changes

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.

progress-tracking is a skill published in the GitHub repository bostonaholic/team (11 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 365 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
