Why does the skill stop after printing the table?

It is designed to be non-intrusive, providing you with the necessary information so you can decide the next logical step in your workflow.

How do I update the status of my tasks?

You can ask Claude to update the todo.md file or manually edit the file; the skill focuses on reading the summary to provide a status update.

Where is the todo file stored?

The skill looks for a markdown file located at ~/.claude/todo.md in your home directory.

Does this skill display the entire markdown file?

No, it specifically extracts and displays only the content between the 'Summary' and 'Tasks' headers to keep the output concise.

By interfacing with a dedicated todo.md file in the user's home directory, it allows for a seamless 'check-in and check-out' workflow.
