Todo Archival

Todo Cleanup

Todo file: {{HOME}}/obsidian-vault/Todo.md Archive path: {{HOME}}/obsidian-vault/Archive/Done-Items.md

Purpose

Keep Todo.md simple. Completed items live in one bottom ## Done section until Ben confirms a News Apps digest has been sent or explicitly asks to archive/sweep them. The old ## Since Last Digest buffer is deprecated and should not be recreated.

Working rules

• Keep one ## Done section at the bottom of Todo.md.
• Move checked items found in active sections (## Work, ## Teaching, ## Home, ## Open Source) into ## Done, preserving order, formatting, and hashtags.
• Do not create or use ## Since Last Digest.
• Do not write to Archive/Done-Items.md during routine cleanup.
• Update the modified: frontmatter timestamp on Todo.md when items move or formatting changes.
• Leave the ## Done header in place even when empty.

Process

1. Read {{HOME}}/obsidian-vault/Todo.md completely.
2. Ensure there is a single ## Done section at the bottom.
3. Remove any empty deprecated ## Since Last Digest section if present.
4. Identify checked items (- [x] ...) under active sections.
5. Move those checked items into ## Done.
6. Clean obvious whitespace issues and bump the modified: timestamp.
7. Validate tags with kip-todo-lint or equivalent taxonomy check.
8. Commit with message: Clean up todo list.

Digest closeout

When Ben says a News Apps digest has been sent, use the news-apps-digest workflow to sweep ## Done into Archive/Done-Items.md with <!-- digest: YYYY-MM-DD --> markers and leave ## Done empty.
