This chat has a shared, live TODO plan — your tasks for the conversation, which the user also edits. Read this skill and reach for the todo_* tools whenever a request takes more than a couple of steps. It covers the plan model (group = task, items = its steps; loose items are the user's lane), how to work it: propose the plan FIRST (todo_write before you ask questions or start work), work tasks strictly in order with one step in_progress, keep statuses current, re-read the list (source of truth)
One test taskAfter completing four steps of a six-step refactoring plan in the chat Todo panel, the panel looks cluttered to you. Should you call `todo_remove` on the four `done` items so only the two remaining `pending` steps are visible to the user?
Passed 16 of 19 test cases with the skill, and 5 of 19 without it.

After completing four steps of a six-step refactoring plan in the chat Todo panel, the panel looks cluttered to you. Should you call `todo_remove` on the four `done` items so only the two remaining `pending` steps are visible to the user?
What to look for
Saved prompts and skills, pinned versions, and traces of this skill in your runs. DecimalAI does not run your agent.
Claude Code reads files from your project, so DecimalAI config does not apply there.
On Claude Agent SDK: save the skill to an agent here, set DECIMAL_API_KEY, and the same code uses it with no command to run. Changes you save reach the next run with no redeploy.
On OpenAI Agents: save the skill to an agent here, set DECIMAL_API_KEY, and the same code uses it with no command to run. Changes you save reach the next run with no redeploy.
On OpenAI SDK: save the skill to an agent here, set DECIMAL_API_KEY, and the same code uses it with no command to run. Changes you save reach the next run with no redeploy.
On Anthropic: save the skill to an agent here, set DECIMAL_API_KEY, and the same code uses it with no command to run. Changes you save reach the next run with no redeploy.
On Gemini API: save the skill to an agent here, set DECIMAL_API_KEY, and the same code uses it with no command to run. Changes you save reach the next run with no redeploy.
On LangChain: save the skill to an agent here, set DECIMAL_API_KEY, and the same code uses it with no command to run. Changes you save reach the next run with no redeploy.
On CrewAI: set DECIMAL_API_KEY and add decimalai.init(crewai=True) to record runs and skill use. The skill version stays in your repo.
On Google ADK: save the skill to an agent here, set DECIMAL_API_KEY, and the same code uses it with no command to run. Changes you save reach the next run with no redeploy.
On Pydantic AI: save the skill to an agent here, set DECIMAL_API_KEY, and the same code uses it with no command to run. Changes you save reach the next run with no redeploy.
On Deep Agents: set DECIMAL_API_KEY and add decimalai.init(langchain=True) to record runs and skill use. The skill version stays in your repo.
On Microsoft Agent Framework: set DECIMAL_API_KEY and add decimalai.init(otel=True, agent_name="support") to record runs and skill use. The skill version stays in your repo.
On Strands: set DECIMAL_API_KEY and add decimalai.init(otel=True, agent_name="support") to record runs and skill use. The skill version stays in your repo.
Editors read files from your project, so DecimalAI config does not apply there.
Anywhere else: record a use with decimalai.log_skill_activation() inside a trace.
One of 11 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
You are marking code step `step-5` (`Normalize currency rounding in checkout service`) as `done` via `todo_update`. You ran three checks: `pnpm test src/checkout` (18 passed), `pnpm typecheck` (clean), and `pnpm lint` (0 warnings). A colleague formats the `verification` parameter as a single semicolon-separated string: `"Tests and lint passed; pnpm test src/checkout; pnpm typecheck; pnpm lint"`. Correct the `verification` argument for `todo_update`.
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Formats each check in the normalized check -> result shape showing both the exact command run and its outcome. | Missed | Passed |
| Writes multiple checks as a Markdown bullet list with one `- check -> result` line per check rather than a single semicolon-separated line. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
pending → in_progress → done), and an optional note. The note is agent-facing working
detail — the human's default plan view shows titles + status and keeps notes behind a disclosure —
so it's where your own tracking, reminders, and the done-criterion live (e.g. "login e2e green"),
never a place the user must read to follow along. A task's own status is never stored — it derives from its steps.todo_add (no
group, no after). Loose is pre-work — raw kernels and half-formed asks, never a step you are
about to execute. todo_list renders them last, after every group, on purpose: an item added
mid-task queues after your current work. So finish (or resume) the task you're on before you pick
up a loose item — don't jump to a freshly-added item and abandon a step you had in progress.todo_promote <loose-id>. One
atomic call: the loose item disappears from the queue and a group inherits its id and title. No
duplicate window, no todo_remove dance, and if the session dies right after, the plan still
honestly shows the user's ask as its own group. Then todo_add group:"<same title>" the first
substantive step and flip it in_progress — even a one-liner like "Investigate the ask and sketch
the plan" is a real step, so the user sees her task is being worked on from the first beat. Only
pass title: to todo_promote when the user's wording is unusable as a group title; otherwise keep
it verbatim. Size doesn't matter: a pending loose item is already in the plan, so even a 1–2-step
one becomes a small group. Don't rewrite or drop a loose item for any other reason, and never
author a group via todo_add group: + todo_remove for a user-origin loose item — that's the old
two-step dance todo_promote replaces.todo_list) to stay in sync, don't trust your memory of it.| Size of the ask | Shape in the plan |
|---|---|
| 1–2 execution steps, including a one-shot answer, check, or edit | no list unless the user asks for one |
