project-todo-manager

name: project-todo-manager description: Manage project-management TODO workflows in ResearchOps. Use this skill when a user asks to generate, prioritize, clear, classify, or execute TODO items, or asks what to do next for project management tasks.

Project Todo Manager

Use this skill to answer and execute TODO-related requests against ResearchOps projects.

Workflow

1. Resolve the target project and fetch current TODO items (OPEN, DONE, COMPLETED, blocked states).
2. Classify the user request into one action:

• summarize: show status, blockers, and top priorities.
• prioritize: reorder open TODOs by urgency, dependency, and execution cost.
• execute-next: select one actionable TODO and prepare/run the appropriate agent step.
• clear: bulk-close current open TODOs only when explicitly requested.
• generate: create TODOs from proposal/instruction text.
• generate-dsl: request todo-dsl-generator and convert free-form idea/proposal into structured step DSL first.

3. Keep updates auditable:

• preserve original TODO text;
• write concise status transition notes;
• avoid destructive edits to already completed tasks unless explicitly requested.

Prioritization Rules

1. Prefer TODOs that unblock downstream steps.
2. Prefer TODOs with clear acceptance checks and runnable commands.
3. Defer TODOs requiring missing infra/credentials and mark as blocked with reason.
4. If two tasks are equivalent, choose lower runtime/cost first.

Output Contract

Always return:

• selected_action
• todo_snapshot (open/done counts)
• next_steps (1-3 concrete commands or API actions)
• risk_notes (blocking assumptions)
• when generate-dsl is used: todo_dsl_summary (step count + reference coverage)
