resolve-todo-parallel

resolve-todo-parallel is a skill for Claude Code from gvkhosla/compound-engineering-pi. It costs 26 tokens per session (851 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for finding and resolving unfinished TODO comments in a codebase, including related work recorded in task files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to collect pending tasks, group and prioritize them, resolve independent items in parallel, and remove completed TODO records.
Why use it?
It brings scattered unfinished items together, orders dependent work, and records lessons before cleaning up completed TODOs.

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

resolve-todo-parallel 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Resolve all TODO comments using parallel processing, document lessons learned, then clean up completed todos.

Workflow

1. Analyze

Get all unresolved TODOs from .context/compound-engineering/todos/*.md and legacy todos/*.md

Residual actionable work may come from ce:review-beta mode:autonomous after its in-skill safe_auto pass. Treat those todos as normal unresolved work items; the review skill has already decided they should not be auto-fixed inline.

If any todo recommends deleting, removing, or gitignoring files in docs/brainstorms/, docs/plans/, or docs/solutions/, skip it and mark it as wont_fix. These are compound-engineering pipeline artifacts that are intentional and permanent.

2. Plan

Create a task list of all unresolved items grouped by type (e.g., TaskCreate in Claude Code, update_plan in Codex). Analyze dependencies and prioritize items that others depend on. For example, if a rename is needed, it must complete before dependent items. Output a mermaid flow diagram showing execution order — what can run in parallel, and what must run first.

3. Implement (PARALLEL)

Spawn a compound-engineering:workflow:pr-comment-resolver agent for each unresolved item.

If there are 3 items, spawn 3 agents — one per item. Prefer running all agents in parallel; if the platform does not support parallel dispatch, run them sequentially respecting the dependency order from step 2.

Keep parent-context pressure bounded:

  • If there are 1-4 unresolved items, direct parallel returns are fine
  • If there are 5+ unresolved items, launch in batches of at most 4 agents at a time
  • Require each resolver agent to return only a short status summary to the parent: todo handled, files changed, tests run or skipped, and any blocker that still needs follow-up

If the todo set is large enough that even batched short returns are likely to get noisy, use a per-run scratch directory such as .context/compound-engineering/resolve-todo-parallel/<run-id>/:

  • Have each resolver write a compact artifact for its todo there
  • Return only a completion summary to the parent
  • Re-read only the artifacts that are needed to summarize outcomes, document learnings, or decide whether a todo is truly resolved

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.
