If files field has entries, read and briefly summarize each.
If roadmap exists:
- Check if todo's area matches an upcoming phase
- Check if todo's files overlap with a phase's scope
- Note any match for action options
Use AskUserQuestion:
- header: "Action"
- question: "This todo relates to Phase [N]: [name]. What would you like to do?"
- options:
- "Work on it now" — move to done, start working
- "Add to phase plan" — include when planning Phase [N]
- "Brainstorm approach" — think through before deciding
- "Put it back" — return to list
If no roadmap match:
Use AskUserQuestion:
- header: "Action"
- question: "What would you like to do with this todo?"
- options:
- "Work on it now" — move to done, start working
- "Create a phase" — /kata:add-phase with this scope
- "Brainstorm approach" — think through before deciding
- "Put it back" — return to list
Add to phase plan: Note todo reference in phase planning notes. Keep in pending. Return to list or exit.
Create a phase:
Display: /kata:add-phase [description from todo]
Keep in pending. User runs command in fresh context.
Brainstorm approach: Keep in pending. Start discussion about problem and approaches.
Put it back: Return to list_todos step.
ls .planning/todos/pending/*.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l
Update STATE.md "### Pending Todos" section if exists.
Check planning config:
COMMIT_PLANNING_DOCS=$(cat .planning/config.json 2>/dev/null | grep -o '"commit_docs"[[:space:]]*:[[:space:]]*[^,}]*' | grep -o 'true\|false' || echo "true")
git check-ignore -q .planning 2>/dev/null && COMMIT_PLANNING_DOCS=false
If COMMIT_PLANNING_DOCS=false: Skip git operations, log "Todo moved (not committed - commit_docs: false)"
If COMMIT_PLANNING_DOCS=true (default):
git add .planning/todos/done/[filename]
git rm --cached .planning/todos/pending/[filename] 2>/dev/null || true
[ -f .planning/STATE.md ] && git add .planning/STATE.md
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
