todos

todos is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JetBrains/thinkrail. It costs 58 tokens per session (3,645 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A shared task plan for the current chat, shown in a TODO panel that both the user and the coding agent can edit. It groups the user's request into steps and tracks each step from pending to done.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break a larger request into manageable steps, mark the active step, record notes about what counts as finished, and continue unfinished work across the conversation.
Why use it?
It keeps multi-step work visible and prevents tasks added during the conversation from getting mixed into the work already underway. The plan records completion criteria without becoming part of the code repository.

About the project

JetBrains/thinkrail is a desktop and mobile client that embeds the pi coding agent inside an interface for editing code and managing development workspaces. Developers use it to work on Git repositories through separate worktrees, a Monaco editor, terminals, Git views, specifications, and concurrent agent sessions. The catalogue entries are skills and instructions for its agent-based development workflow.

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

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 5d 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.

Chat TODO plan

What it is

  • A plan scoped to this chat — your tasks for the conversation. Shown to the user in the Todo panel; lives with the session (not committed to the repo).
  • Group = task, item = step. One user ask = one group; its title is the outcome ("Fix login redirect"), not the process. The steps inside are the items — each has a title, a status (pending → in_progress → done), and an optional note. The note is agent-facing working detail — the human's default plan view shows titles + status and keeps notes behind a disclosure — so it's where your own tracking, reminders, and the done-criterion live (e.g. "login e2e green"), never a place the user must read to follow along. A task's own status is never stored — it derives from its steps.
  • Loose items are the shared raw-input queue — and they sit at the END of the plan. Both sides write there: the user adds from the UI, and you may drop an unprocessed note with todo_add (no group, no after). Loose is pre-work — raw kernels and half-formed asks, never a step you are about to execute. todo_list renders them last, after every group, on purpose: an item added mid-task queues after your current work. So finish (or resume) the task you're on before you pick up a loose item — don't jump to a freshly-added item and abandon a step you had in progress.
  • Promote a loose item the moment you take it into work — with todo_promote <loose-id>. One atomic call: the loose item disappears from the queue and a group inherits its id and title. No duplicate window, no todo_remove dance, and if the session dies right after, the plan still honestly shows the user's ask as its own group. Then todo_add group:"<same title>" the first substantive step and flip it in_progress — even a one-liner like "Investigate the ask and sketch the plan" is a real step, so the user sees her task is being worked on from the first beat. Only pass title: to todo_promote when the user's wording is unusable as a group title; otherwise keep it verbatim. Size doesn't matter: a pending loose item is already in the plan, so even a 1–2-step one becomes a small group. Don't rewrite or drop a loose item for any other reason, and never author a group via todo_add group: + todo_remove for a user-origin loose item — that's the old two-step dance todo_promote replaces.
  • It is shared and live: you maintain it, and the user edits it while you work — adding tasks, removing ones they've dropped. The stored list is the source of truth; what you remember is only a snapshot. Re-read it (todo_list) to stay in sync, don't trust your memory of it.
  • It is the user's status window — how they follow what's happening at a glance, without reading the chat. Short, concrete step titles; statuses always current.

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.
