# Todofile

This is a "to do next" file, particularly useful to keep the human and a coding assistant in sync.

The format is based on [Keep a Todofile V0.0.1](https://coulomb.social/open/KeepaTodofile).

The structure organizes **future tasks** by their impact, just as a changelog organizes past changes by their impact.

## [Unreleased] - *Active Vibe-Coding State* 💡

This section is for tasks currently being discussed with or worked on by the coding assistant. These are the ephemeral, flow-of-thought tasks.

* **To Add:**
    * Pre-commit hooks for automated code quality checks
    * CI/CD pipeline configuration for automated testing and deployment
    * Usage analytics and telemetry for agent effectiveness tracking
    * **Scenario 1 exploration: Establish codebase from scratch**
        * Research current onboarding experience with existing setup targets
        * Identify gaps in documentation for new project creation
        * Test and validate smooth project initialization workflows
        * Evaluate agent selection and recommendation systems for new projects
        * Document best practices for greenfield project setup
    * **Scenario 2 exploration: Integration with existing projects having agents**
        * Research detection of existing agent systems in projects
        * Design conflict resolution strategies for overlapping agent functionality
        * Create migration paths for replacing outdated project-specific agents
        * Develop extension mechanisms for project-specific kaizen agent customizations
        * Define integration patterns that respect existing project structure
        * Build tooling for safe agent system transitions
* **To Refactor:**
    * Enhanced error handling in CLI with more informative messages
    * Performance optimization for large project installations
* **To Fix:**
