lklimek Track Minions
An in-context checklist dies on compaction — exactly how multi-task work silently drops tasks. Track work in a durable store recoverable from scratch after any context loss.
Primary — a plain file, in-session
Track in-flight work (agent dispatches, phases, file groups) in a plain file outside any git tree — not /tmp or anything else wipeable. Pick a stable path and simple format yourself; durability and recoverability are the point, not a fixed schema.
- Before starting: write one entry per logical unit.
- While working: update entries as they start/complete/block.
- After compaction or any context loss: re-read the file to recover the in-flight list — never assume the in-context view is complete.
Cross-session / cross-project — memcan todo
Use memcan:todo (add_todo/list_todos/update_todo/complete_todo) only for work that must survive a /clear or Claude Code restart, or that spans multiple projects (programme-management mode) — not for tracking a single session's in-flight work. Scope by project = repo short name from git remote get-url origin.
- Session start:
list_todos(project=<repo>, status="pending")to recover work left pending by a previous session. - Add/update/complete as that cross-session or cross-project work progresses.
Scope
This skill owns tracking, not the spawn decision itself — see claudius:delegate for whether/how to spawn. The in-session file is the source of truth for work within a session; memcan todo is the source of truth across session boundaries and across projects.
