Do I need to manually update the todo file?

No, the skill is configured to automatically journal tasks and update the execution status as the plan progresses.

Is Waldstorm suitable for large projects?

Yes, its structured 'brainstorm-plan-execute' loop is specifically designed to handle the complexity of large-scale software engineering tasks.

What does the Waldstorm skill do?

It streamlines the development process by directing Claude to brainstorm, create a formal plan, and track execution steps in a dedicated todo file for better project oversight.

How does Waldstorm improve Claude's memory?

By journaling all TODOs and tracking progress in a persistent file, it provides an external 'memory' that Claude can reference to stay on track during complex, multi-step tasks.
