cursor-todo-prompt-kit: Skill for Claude Code

.cursor/skills/ct-init-todo/SKILL.md

ct-init-todo is a skill for Claude Code, Cursor from vguleaev/cursor-todo-prompt-kit. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,051 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project task-list skill that creates a TODO.md file for a requested feature. It uses numbered CT task IDs, progress statuses, task descriptions, acceptance criteria, and shared notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a root-level implementation plan for a feature, including task breakdowns and the conditions each task must satisfy.
Why use it?
It turns a feature request into a consistent checklist with clear completion conditions. This gives the project one documented place to track the work.

Skill for Claude CodeCursor

Written for Claude Code and Cursor: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter, but also installed under .cursor/.

This is vguleaev/cursor-todo-prompt-kit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Cursor how to work on cursor-todo-prompt-kit itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

ct-init-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 2mo 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.

ct-init-todo

For the given feature, create a TODO.md file in the root of the project.

TODO.md file Rules

  • Generate as many tasks as you need to complete the feature.
  • Each task must have a unique task ID.
  • Task ID must be in the format of CT-<number>.
  • You must use the following statuses: ✅ DONE, 🔲 TODO.
  • You muse use prefix CT- for the task ID.
  • Each task must have name, description and acceptance criteria.
  • Add helpful notes which are common for all tasks at the end of the file.

YOU MUST USE THE FOLLOWING TEMPLATE:

# TODO: {{FEATURE_NAME}}

{{FEATURE_DESCRIPTION}}

## Progress Tracker

| Ticket | Description     | Status       |

# TODO: Expenses Tracker Backend

Implement insertion of a new expense into the database for our expenses tracker.

## Progress Tracker

| Ticket | Description            | Status  |
| ------ | ---------------------- | ------- |
| CT-1   | CDK Backend Stack      | ✅ DONE |
| CT-2   | Deploy Lambda Handlers | ✅ DONE |
| CT-3   | Custom Domain for API  | ✅ DONE |
| CT-4   | API Gateway Auth       | 🔲 TODO |

## Tasks

#### CT-1: Create CDK Backend Stack for Lambda + DynamoDB

**Description:**  
Create a new CDK stack (`backend-stack.ts`) that provisions:

- DynamoDB table for expenses with `id` as partition key and `userId-index` GSI
- Lambda functions for expense CRUD operations
- API Gateway REST API with proper CORS configuration
- IAM roles and permissions for Lambda to access DynamoDB

**Acceptance Criteria:**

- [x] DynamoDB table created with proper indexes
- [x] Lambda functions deployed for list/create expenses
- [x] API Gateway configured with routes
- [x] Stack outputs API URL

---

#### CT-2: Deploy Expense Lambda Handlers

**Description:**  
Bundle and deploy existing Lambda handlers (`create.ts`, `list.ts`) to AWS via CDK. Ensure environment variables are properly configured.

**Acceptance Criteria:**

- [x] Create expense Lambda deployed
- [x] List expenses Lambda deployed
- [x] Environment variables set (EXPENSES_TABLE_NAME)
- [x] Handlers return proper responses

---

#### CT-3: Add Custom Domain for API Gateway

**Description:**  
Configure custom domain `api.expenses.example.com` for API Gateway. Reuse existing certificate if it supports wildcards, or update certificate to include the API subdomain.

**Acceptance Criteria:**

- [x] Check if existing certificate supports `*.expenses.example.com` or `api.expenses.example.com`
- [x] If not, request new/updated certificate with wildcard support
- [x] Add custom domain to API Gateway in CDK
- [x] Created DNS record for `api.expenses.example.com`
- [x] API accessible via `https://api.expenses.example.com`

---

#### CT-4: Configure API Gateway with Clerk Auth Integration

**Description:**  
Set up API Gateway to validate Clerk JWT tokens. Configure Lambda authorizer or pass user ID from Clerk session to backend.

**Acceptance Criteria:**

- [ ] API Gateway validates auth headers
- [ ] User ID extracted from Clerk token
- [ ] Unauthorized requests return 401

---

## Notes

- Backend handlers already exist in `/backend/src/handlers/expenses/`
- Auth utility exists in `/backend/src/lib/auth.ts`
- Frontend uses Clerk for authentication
- DynamoDB requires `userId-index` GSI for listing user's expenses
