# 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/TodoFileGuide).

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