gabrielmoreira Resolve approved todos using parallel processing, document lessons learned, then clean up.
Only ready todos are resolved. pending todos are skipped — they haven't been triaged yet. If pending todos exist, list them at the end so the user knows what was left behind.
Workflow
1. Analyze
Scan .context/compound-engineering/todos/*.md and legacy todos/*.md. Partition by status:
ready(status field or-ready-in filename): resolve these.pending: skip. Report them at the end.complete: ignore, already done.
If a specific todo ID or pattern was passed as an argument, filter to matching todos only (still must be ready).
Residual actionable work from ce:review mode:autofix after its safe_auto pass will already be ready.
Skip any todo that recommends deleting, removing, or gitignoring files in docs/brainstorms/, docs/plans/, or docs/solutions/ — these are intentional pipeline artifacts.
2. Plan
Create a task list grouped by type (e.g., TaskCreate in Claude Code, update_plan in Codex). Analyze dependencies -- items that others depend on run first. Output a mermaid diagram showing execution order and parallelism.
3. Implement (PARALLEL)
Spawn a compound-engineering:workflow:pr-comment-resolver agent per item. Prefer parallel; fall back to sequential respecting dependency order.
Batching: 1-4 items: direct parallel returns. 5+ items: batches of 4, each returning only a short status summary (todo handled, files changed, tests run/skipped, blockers).
For large sets, use a scratch directory at .context/compound-engineering/todo-resolve/<run-id>/ for per-resolver artifacts. Return only completion summaries to parent.
4. Commit & Resolve
Commit changes, mark todos resolved, push to remote.
GATE: STOP. Verify todos resolved and changes committed before proceeding.
5. Compound on Lessons Learned
Load the ce:compound skill to document what was learned. Todo resolutions often surface patterns and architectural insights worth capturing.
GATE: STOP. Verify the compound skill produced a solution document in docs/solutions/. If none (user declined or no learnings), continue.
6. Clean Up
Delete completed/resolved todo files from both paths. If a scratch directory was created at .context/compound-engineering/todo-resolve/<run-id>/, delete it (unless user asked to inspect).
Todos resolved: [count]
Pending (skipped): [count, or "none"]
Lessons documented: [path to solution doc, or "skipped"]
Todos cleaned up: [count deleted]
If pending todos were skipped, list them:
Skipped pending todos (run /todo-triage to approve):
- 003-pending-p2-missing-index.md
- 005-pending-p3-rename-variable.md
