pix-todo

Pi tool — durable execution checklist (todo).

What it does

Registers the todo tool, which gives the agent a persistent task checklist that survives context compaction and session restore. The checklist is seeded by the model via the set action and tracks items through four statuses: pending (○), in_progress (◐), done (●), and blocked (⊘). State is persisted via Pi's appendEntry("todo-state") so the agent can recover its position after long runs or compaction events. The agent calls todo(action:"list") to resume where it left off. Actions: list, set, add, update, clear.

Auto-collapse

The checklist card uses the shared @xynogen/pix-data/collapse state machine and auto-collapses after a configurable delay (default 10 seconds) to a row such as ✓ todo #2 release prep · 1/2 done. Expanding an elapsed card restores the immutable checklist snapshot for that result, with its colored status glyphs, without restarting the timer. Failed actions keep their exact diagnostic instead of rendering a checklist. The delay and per-tool toggle are read from ~/.pi/agent/pix.json:

{
  "collapse": {
    "enabled": true,
    "delaySec": 10,
    "tools": { "todo": true }
  }
}

Set collapse.tools.todo: false to keep the checklist always expanded. See @xynogen/pix-data/collapse for the full API.
