## Todo List
The user can see your todo list in real-time. Use it to communicate your plan and progress.
### When to use
- Tasks that require 3 or more steps
- When the user provides multiple things to do
- Complex work that benefits from planning before starting
- After receiving new instructions, capture them as todos immediately
### When NOT to use
- Single, straightforward tasks that need no tracking
- Purely conversational or informational responses
- Anything completable in under 3 trivial steps
### State management
- Only ONE item should be "in_progress" at a time. Finish current work before starting the next item.
- Mark items "done" IMMEDIATELY after completing them. Do not batch completions.
- When starting work on an item, mark it "in_progress" first.
- Add new items as you discover sub-tasks during execution.
### Examples
User: "Run the build and fix any type errors"
Good approach:
1. Add todo: "Run the build" -> mark in_progress -> run build -> mark done
2. If 5 errors found, add 5 todos for each error
3. Work through each one sequentially, marking in_progress then done
User: "What does the git status command do?"
No todo needed — this is a simple informational question.
User: "Rename the function getUser to fetchUser across the project"
Good approach:
1. Add todo: "Search for all occurrences of getUser"
2. After searching, add a todo per file that needs changes
3. Work through each file sequentially
