What is Todo Manager?
Todo Manager is a specialized workflow designed for AI coding agents to maintain organized task lists within a developer's workspace. It streamlines the lifecycle of development tasks by categorizing them into pending, in-progress, and completed states. As a key component of Openclaw Skills, this tool is built specifically for technical workflows, allowing for direct association with project file paths, git branches, and GitHub issues, ensuring that the AI agent always has the full context of the work to be done.
Todo Manager Use Cases
- Managing project development milestones and daily tasks within an IDE.
- Linking specific TODO items to GitHub issues for better traceability.
- Tracking work-in-progress across different git branches and specific file paths.
- Rapidly querying and updating workspace tasks using fuzzy matching and natural language.
How Todo Manager Works
- The AI agent activates the skill when it detects keywords like TODO, task, or plan.
- When creating a task, the agent interactively prompts for GitHub issue links and relevant project paths.
- The skill stores data across three state-specific JSON files: pending, in_progress, and completed.
- Users can transition tasks through states (e.g., from pending to in_progress) using either descriptive keywords or numeric IDs.
- The system automatically maintains a metadata file to track global statistics and state consistency across the Openclaw Skills environment.
Todo Manager Setup
To use Todo Manager, ensure your AI agent has access to the workspace directory. The skill will automatically initialize the necessary JSON files upon the first command.
# Trigger task creation by speaking to your agent
# "Create a new TODO: implement user authentication"
Todo Manager Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes data in the workspace using a structured JSON schema across four files:
| File | Description |
|---|---|
todos_meta.json |
Stores global statistics and sequence metadata. |
todos_pending.json |
Contains all tasks that are currently in the queue. |
todos_in_progress.json |
Tracks tasks currently being executed by the user or agent. |
todos_completed.json |
Archives finished tasks with completion timestamps. |
Each task entry typically includes content, createdAt, githubIssueUrl, paths, and branch (for git projects).
Todo Manager Advanced Features
- Intelligent fuzzy matching to identify tasks without needing exact string matches.
- Git integration that automatically associates tasks with specific branches and file paths.
- Global sequence numbering (e.g., 1️⃣, 2️⃣, 3️⃣) for quick shorthand commands like 'complete 1'.
- Interactive inquiry mode that ensures no critical metadata (like issue links) is missed during task creation.
