# 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.

See roadmap/YYMMDD-ROADMAPTOPIC/ directories for planning information like concepts, workplans, etc...

## [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.

### Extract Capability-Capability from Issue-Facade (Paused)

**Context:** Issue-facade currently provides two capabilities:
1. **issue-tracking** (explicit in CAPABILITY-issue-tracking.yaml) - Issue management across platforms
2. **capability-capability** (implicit) - Patterns and tools for creating/managing capabilities

The **capability-capability** includes:
- Feedback pattern (feedback/ directory, .capability/feedback CLI tool, documentation)
- Detachment facility (.capability/detach script for clean capability removal)
- Integration pattern (.capability/integrate.sh for project integration)
- CAPABILITY-*.yaml specification format
- ReusableCapabilitiesArchitecture.md (complete specification)
- Directory conventions (_family/implementation, visible/hidden patterns)

**Goal:** Extract capability-capability to separate `reusable-capability` repository so it can be used by any capability in the markitect ecosystem.

**Approach:** Step-by-step extraction, starting with specification.

#### Phase 1: Specification & Planning (Current)

- [ ] Create CAPABILITY-capability.yaml in issue-facade to explicitly declare the implicit capability
- [ ] Define what belongs to capability-capability family vs issue-tracking family
- [ ] Document the capability-capability API surface (what tools/patterns it provides)
- [ ] Identify all files/directories to extract
- [ ] Plan extraction strategy (copy vs move, how to maintain during transition)

#### Phase 2: Repository Creation

- [ ] Create reusable-capability repository structure
- [ ] Extract ReusableCapabilitiesArchitecture.md to new repo
- [ ] Extract feedback pattern (directory structure, CLI tool, README)
- [ ] Extract detachment facility (.capability/detach)
- [ ] Extract integration scripts (.capability/integrate.sh, integration-checklist.md)
- [ ] Create CAPABILITY-capability.yaml in new repo (canonical version)
- [ ] Add README.md for reusable-capability repo

#### Phase 3: Integration & Testing

- [ ] Update issue-facade to depend on reusable-capability (as integrated capability)
- [ ] Integrate reusable-capability into issue-facade using _capability/reusable-capability pattern
- [ ] Test that issue-facade still works with extracted capability
- [ ] Update issue-facade documentation to reference both capabilities it provides/uses
- [ ] Verify feedback system still works
- [ ] Verify detachment still works

#### Phase 4: Dogfooding & Validation

- [ ] Choose another markitect capability for dogfooding
- [ ] Integrate reusable-capability into that capability
- [ ] Add feedback system to new capability
- [ ] Add detachment facility to new capability
- [ ] Document learnings and refine reusable-capability based on real-world usage
- [ ] Update ReusableCapabilitiesArchitecture.md with insights

**Current Step:** Phase 1, Task 1 - Create CAPABILITY-capability.yaml
