What it does

Gsd Check Todos is an agent skill from SpillwaveSolutions/agent-brain. List pending todos and select one to work on

Its SKILL.md is about 780 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. The repository describes itself as: Local-first RAG memory for AI agents: hybrid + GraphRAG search, MCP server with OAuth 2.1, plugin for Claude Code / OpenCode / Codex. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/gsd-check-todos”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Todo existence checking
  2. Area filtering
  3. Interactive listing and selection
  4. Full context loading with file summaries
  5. Roadmap correlation checking
  6. Action offering and execution
  7. STATE.md updates
  8. Git commits

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8339623. 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.

    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

Gsd Check Todos loads about 778 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 15 tokens; SKILL.md has 329 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~15
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~778

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.

<codex_skill_adapter>

A. Skill Invocation

  • This skill is invoked by mentioning $gsd-check-todos.
  • Treat all user text after $gsd-check-todos as {{GSD_ARGS}}.
  • If no arguments are present, treat {{GSD_ARGS}} as empty.

B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping

GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:

Parameter mapping:

  • header → header
  • question → question
  • Options formatted as "Label" — description → {label: "Label", description: "description"}
  • Generate id from header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores

Batched calls:

  • AskUserQuestion([q1, q2]) → single request_user_input with multiple entries in questions[]

Multi-select workaround:

  • Codex has no multiSelect. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.

Execute mode fallback:

  • When request_user_input is rejected (Execute mode), present a plain-text numbered list and pick a reasonable default.

C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping

GSD workflows use Task(...) (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:

Direct mapping:

  • Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y") → spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")
  • Task(model="...") → omit (Codex uses per-role config, not inline model selection)
  • fork_context: false by default — GSD agents load their own context via <files_to_read> blocks

Parallel fan-out:

  • Spawn multiple agents → collect agent IDs → wait(ids) for all to complete

Result parsing:

  • Look for structured markers in agent output: CHECKPOINT, PLAN COMPLETE, SUMMARY, etc.
  • close_agent(id) after collecting results from each agent </codex_skill_adapter>
<objective>
List all pending todos, allow selection, load full context for the selected todo, and route to appropriate action.

Routes to the check-todos workflow which handles:

  • Todo counting and listing with area filtering
  • Interactive selection with full context loading
  • Roadmap correlation checking
  • Action routing (work now, add to phase, brainstorm, create phase)
  • STATE.md updates and git commits
    </objective>

<execution_context> @/Users/richardhightower/clients/spillwave/src/agent-brain/.codex/get-shit-done/workflows/check-todos.md </execution_context>

<context>
Arguments: {{GSD_ARGS}} (optional area filter)

Todo state and roadmap correlation are loaded in-workflow using init todos and targeted reads. </context>

<process>
**Follow the check-todos workflow** from `@/Users/richardhightower/clients/spillwave/src/agent-brain/.codex/get-shit-done/workflows/check-todos.md`.

The workflow handles all logic including:

  1. Todo existence checking
  2. Area filtering
  3. Interactive listing and selection
  4. Full context loading with file summaries
  5. Roadmap correlation checking
  6. Action offering and execution
  7. STATE.md updates
  8. Git commits
