README

@agnishc/edb-todo

A Pi CLI extension that gives the agent a structured task list to prevent goal drift — the tendency for agents to lose track of the original plan as context grows and tool calls accumulate.

How it works

  1. The agent calls todo_write to plan multi-step work as an explicit task list
  2. Before every agent turn, active tasks are injected into the system prompt so the model always knows what remains and what it's currently doing
  3. A live widget above the editor shows the current task list at all times
  4. State is reconstructed from the session branch, so /tree navigation and forking work correctly

Tools

Tool Description
todo_write Replace the entire task list (atomic update) — always pass all tasks
