Todo Triage

Todo Triage

Interactive workflow for reviewing pending todos one by one and deciding whether to approve, skip, or modify each.

Do not write code during triage. This is purely for review and prioritization -- implementation happens in /todo-resolve.

• First set the /model to Haiku
• Read all pending todos from .context/compound-engineering/todos/ and legacy todos/ directories

Workflow

1. Present Each Finding

For each pending todo, present it clearly with severity, category, description, location, problem scenario, proposed solution, and effort estimate. Then ask:

Do you want to add this to the todo list?
1. yes - approve and mark ready
2. next - skip (deletes the todo file)
3. custom - modify before approving

Use severity levels: 🔴 P1 (CRITICAL), 🟡 P2 (IMPORTANT), 🔵 P3 (NICE-TO-HAVE).

Include progress tracking in each header: Progress: 3/10 completed

2. Handle Decision

yes: Rename file from pending -> ready in both filename and frontmatter. Fill the Recommended Action section. If creating a new todo (not updating existing), use the naming convention from the todo-create skill.

Priority mapping: 🔴 P1 -> p1, 🟡 P2 -> p2, 🔵 P3 -> p3

Confirm: "✅ Approved: {filename} (Issue #{issue_id}) - Status: ready"

next: Delete the todo file. Log as skipped for the final summary.

custom: Ask what to modify, update, re-present, ask again.

3. Final Summary

After all items processed:

## Triage Complete

4. Next Steps

What would you like to do next?

1. run /todo-resolve to resolve the todos
2. commit the todos
