Import TODOs

Discover TODO/FIXME comments in the codebase and convert selected ones into task files.

Instructions

The user may optionally provide flags in $ARGUMENTS (e.g. --marker TODO , --dir ./src , --include "*.go" ).

Discover TODOs: Run taskmd todos list --format json $ARGUMENTS via Bash to find all TODO/FIXME/HACK/XXX/NOTE/BUG/OPTIMIZE comments in the codebase

• If the command fails, check that taskmd is installed and the todos subcommand is available (requires taskmd v0.12+)

Handle empty results: If no TODOs are found (empty JSON array [] or no output), inform the user:

"No TODO/FIXME comments found in the codebase. Try widening your search with --dir or removing --marker filters."

• Stop here — do not proceed further

Check for duplicates: Run taskmd list --format json to get existing task titles. For each TODO, check if its text closely matches an existing task title (case-insensitive substring match). Flag any potential duplicates.

Present the list: Display the TODOs as a numbered list in this format:

Found N TODO comments:

| Marker | File | Text

-----|--------|-------------------------------|---------------------------------- 1 | TODO | src/auth.go:42 | implement rate limiting 2 | FIXME | src/handler.go:15 | handle timeout errors 3 | TODO | src/db.go:88 | add connection pooling *4 | TODO | src/cache.go:12 | optimize cache (possible duplicate: task 045)

Mark potential duplicates with * and note the matching task.

Ask the user: Ask which TODOs to convert into tasks. Accept:

• Specific numbers: 1, 3, 5

• Ranges: 1-5

• A combination: 1-3, 7, 9-11

• all to convert everything

• none or empty to cancel

Handle cancellation: If the user selects none or cancels, exit gracefully:

"No TODOs selected. Exiting."

Convert selected TODOs: For each selected TODO, invoke the /add-task skill using the Skill tool:

• Use the TODO text as the task description

• Include the source file and line number as context

• Use the marker type as a hint for the task type (e.g. FIXME/BUG → type bug , TODO → type feature )

• Format the skill argument as: <marker>: <text> (from <file>:<line>)

Example Skill invocation:

Skill: add-task Args: "TODO: implement rate limiting (from src/auth.go:42)"

Report results: After all tasks are created, summarize:

Created N task(s) from TODOs:

• Task <ID>: <title> (from <file>:<line>)
• Task <ID>: <title> (from <file>:<line>)
