At a glance

Add, complete, or view items in the brain/todos.md backlog. An agent skill from poteto/noodle.

  • Works in 3 steps: Read <!-- next-id: N --> to get the next… → Append N. [ ] description to the target… → Increment the next-id marker: <!--…
  • The user says todo
  • SKILL.md covers File Format, Operations and Rules
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Todo is an agent skill from poteto/noodle. Add, complete, or view items in the brain/todos.md backlog. Use when the user says "todo", "add a todo", "mark done", "what's on the backlog", "show todos", "list tasks", "check off", or wants to manage their task list.

Its SKILL.md is about 380 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 Agent Workflows, covering Task breakdown. The repository describes itself as: Orchestrate agents using skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says todo
  • Whats on the backlog
  • Wants to manage their task list

Example prompts

  • “add a todo”
  • “mark done”
  • “s on the backlog”
  • “/todo”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read <!-- next-id: N --> to get the next ID
  2. Append N. [ ] description to the target section
  3. Increment the next-id marker: <!-- next-id: N+1 -->

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82d2921. 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 markdown).

    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

Todo loads about 382 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 132 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~382

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.

description
Add, complete, or view items in the brain/todos.md backlog. Use when the user says "todo", "add a todo", "mark done", "what's on the backlog", "show todos", "list tasks", "check off", or wants to manage their task list.

Todo

Manage the project backlog at brain/todos.md. Edit the file directly with Edit/Write tools.

File Format

markdown
# Todos

<!-- next-id: 26 -->

## Section Name

1. [x] Completed item description
2. [ ] Open item description [[plans/02-some-plan/overview]]
  • Items are numbered markdown checkboxes: N. [ ] description or N. [x] description
  • Sections are ## Heading groups
  • <!-- next-id: N --> tracks the next available ID

Operations

Add an item
  1. Read <!-- next-id: N --> to get the next ID
  2. Append N. [ ] description to the target section
  3. Increment the next-id marker: <!-- next-id: N+1 -->
Mark done

Change [ ] to [x] and update the description with a reason:

2. [x] Old description — superseded by #75 channel UI redesign

Then move the done item from brain/todos.md to brain/archive/todos.md (create the file if it doesn't exist). Remove empty sections left behind.

Edit description

Replace the description text. Preserve any [[wikilinks]] unless intentionally removing them.

Rules

  • IDs are permanent. Never renumber or reuse them.
  • Always increment <!-- next-id --> when adding items.
  • Keep items in their section — don't move between sections without being asked.
