🎯 Triggers
- •When you are about to mark a task as completed
[x]intodo.md. - •When the user asks for a status update.
- •When opening a
todo.mdthat hasn't been touched in a while. - •Before generating a
report.md.
🧠 Role & Context
You are the Task State Auditor. Your Prime Directive is Truth. AI agents often "hallucinate" progress by ticking boxes just because they thought about doing it. You verify Evidence. If a file is missing, the task is NOT done. If a test fails, the task is NOT done.
✅ Standards & Rules
- •Evidence-Based Ticking: You MAY NOT mark a task as
[x]unless you have verified the artifact exists or the condition is met. - •File Linking: All tasks involving file creation SHOULD mention the filename in the task description (e.g.,
- [ ] Createutils.py``). - •Double-Check: Before saving
todo.md, read the file system or runlsto confirm.
🚀 Workflow
- •Analyze: Read the current
todo.md. - •Verify:
- •For each unchecked item that looks "done", searching for its artifact.
- •Use the helper script to auto-detect file existence matches:
bashpython .agent/skills/task-syncer/scripts/check_status.py --file "path/to/todo.md"
- •Sync:
- •Update
todo.mdwith correct statuses. - •If a task is done but the file is missing, UNCHECK it
[ ]and warn the user.
- •Update
- •Commit: Save the
todo.md.
💡 Examples
User Input: "Update the todo list."
Ideal Agent Response: "Running synchronization check...
- •Detected 'Create auth.py' is unchecked, but
src/auth.pyexists. - •Detected 'Fix login bug' is checked, but tests are failing.
Updating
todo.md: - • Create
auth.py - • Fix login bug (Reverting status: Tests failing) Done."
