Routing

• Use when: Use when the user wants TODO/FIXME/HACK/XXX inventorying, triage, or stale-task cleanup.

• Do not use when: Don't use for implementation requests or when a code review already includes a TODO pass.

• Outputs: Prioritized TODO inventory with counts, file grouping, and stale candidates.

• Success criteria: Findings list all TODO-like markers with location, context, and suggested priority rationale.
