What it does

File Todos is an agent skill from nth5693/gemini-kit. Manage file-based todo tracking in the todos/ directory

Its SKILL.md is about 430 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: 🚀 19 AI Agents + 44 Commands for Gemini CLI - Code 10x faster with auto planning, testing, review & security. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/file-todos”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Create a todo → See "Creating Todos" below
  2. Triage pending items → Use /triage
  3. Work on todos → Use /resolve_todo
  4. Check dependencies → See "Dependency Management" below

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f3db206. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and yaml).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

File Todos loads about 432 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 76 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~432

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

File-Based Todo Tracking

Provides workflows for creating, managing, and completing todos stored as markdown files.

Overview

The todos/ directory contains markdown files with YAML frontmatter for tracking work items.

File Naming Convention

{issue_id}-{status}-{priority}-{description}.md

Examples:
001-pending-p1-security-fix.md
002-ready-p2-performance-opt.md
003-complete-p3-cleanup.md

Status Lifecycle

pending → ready → complete
   ↓
(deleted if skipped)

What do you want to do?

  1. Create a todo → See "Creating Todos" below
  2. Triage pending items → Use /triage
  3. Work on todos → Use /resolve_todo
  4. Check dependencies → See "Dependency Management" below

Instrumentation

bash
# Log usage when using this skill
./scripts/log-skill.sh "file-todos" "manual" "$$"

Creating Todos

bash
# Get next ID
next_id=$(ls todos/*.md 2>/dev/null | grep -o '[0-9]\+' | sort -n | tail -1 | awk '{printf "%03d", $1+1}')
[ -z "$next_id" ] && next_id="001"

# Copy template
cp todos/todo-template.md todos/${next_id}-pending-{priority}-{description}.md

Dependency Management

yaml
# In YAML frontmatter
dependencies: ["001", "002"]  # Blocked by these issues
dependencies: []               # No blockers

Check blockers:

bash
grep "dependencies:" todos/{file}.md

Quick Commands

bash
# List by status
ls todos/*-pending-*.md
ls todos/*-ready-*.md
ls todos/*-complete-*.md

# List by priority
ls todos/*-p1-*.md

# Count by status
for s in pending ready complete; do
  echo "$s: $(ls todos/*-$s-*.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l)"
done
