AgentsToDo — AI skill for Claude Code

AgentsToDo

One to-do list for you and your AI coding agents, always in view on your Windows desktop. Your agents write the items. You see them on a spiral notepad and tick them off.


**Built with AI.** This app was written by [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code), Anthropic's AI coding assistant, and directed and tested by a person. It is shared as-is, in case it is useful to someone else.

Why

A coding agent often finds a problem it should not fix right now: a missing check, a leftover debug line, a broken page in another module. It mentions the problem in the chat, the chat ends, and the problem is forgotten. Notes saved inside each project are not much better: you see them only when you open that project again.

AgentsToDo keeps all of these in one list that stays on your screen.

How it works

• The list is one Markdown file, todo.md in your user folder. The desktop note (the app is called TodoPad) shows it.
• Agents add the items. When an agent finds a problem it is not fixing, it adds a line under the project's heading.
• Your own to-dos go through the agent too. Tell it "add a to-do: renew the domain", and it writes the line.
• You tick items on the note. A tick writes [x] into the file, so the agents see what is done.

The note has no box for typing new items. That is on purpose: the agent does the writing, and you keep your eyes on the list. A plain file is also the simplest thing any agent can write to: no account, no API, no login. If you want to type an item yourself, open `todo.md` in any text editor. The note shows the change within a moment.

Set up your agent

The agent needs two things: an instruction to use the file, and permission to edit it.
