Does this skill add future tasks to the progress log?

No, the progress log is strictly reserved for factual, completed work to ensure a high-signal record of project history without cluttering it with future plans.

How does Basic Task Memo differ from a standard TODO list?

It separates strategy from execution by maintaining three distinct files: a high-level strategic plan, an actionable task list, and a historical progress log.

Can I use my own file structure with this skill?

The skill is optimized for docs/plan.md, docs/tasks.md, and docs/progress.md, but it is designed to preserve and work within your existing structure whenever possible.

When is the best time to trigger this skill?

Use it whenever you are initiating a new project phase, updating your roadmap, or need to document completed work to provide the AI with better context.

How does this skill improve Claude's performance?

By keeping project documentation organized and synchronized, it provides Claude with accurate, up-to-date context, which reduces hallucinations regarding project status and next steps.

Productivity & Workflow

Manages project planning, task lists, and progress logs to ensure consistent and actionable development workflows.

About

Basic Task Memo is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to streamline project management by maintaining a standardized documentation trio: plan.md for strategy, tasks.md for actionable items, and progress.md for completed milestones. It enforces a clear separation of concerns, ensuring that high-level goals don't get lost in task-level details while keeping an accurate, chronological record of project evolution. This skill is ideal for developers who want to keep their AI assistant aligned with project objectives and maintain clear visibility into the current state of work without mixing strategic planning with granular implementation logs.
