How does the skill identify which task to check in?

You can provide a specific task number as an argument, or the skill will automatically use the task you checked out most recently in the current session.

What happens to the task status in the master todo file?

The skill updates the master list to show that a plan exists and resets the status to 'pending' or 'in progress' so you know it requires further action.

Where does this skill store my task data?

It stores all data locally on your machine in the ~/.claude/todo/ directory, ensuring your plans and session logs remain private and accessible.

Can I save specific files alongside my progress report?

Yes, if working files were produced or discussed, the skill saves them to the task-specific directory and references them within your plan.md file.

Does checking in a task overwrite my previous session notes?

No, the skill is designed to append new session entries to a 'Session log' section, preserving your entire history of work for that specific task.
