Universal TodoWrite Integration

Add this requirement to skill starts:

TodoWrite Requirement

BEFORE starting this skill:

1. Create todos for major phases:

[
  {content: "Phase 1: [name]", status: "in_progress", activeForm: "Working on Phase 1"},
  {content: "Phase 2: [name]", status: "pending", activeForm: "Working on Phase 2"},
  {content: "Phase 3: [name]", status: "pending", activeForm: "Working on Phase 3"}
]

2. Update after each phase:

   • Mark complete when done
   • Move next to in_progress
   • Add any new discovered tasks

3. Never work without todos:

   • Skipping todos = skipping the skill
   • Mental tracking = guaranteed to miss steps
   • Todos are your external memory

Example for debugging:

[
  {content: "Root cause investigation", status: "in_progress", ...},
  {content: "Pattern analysis", status: "pending", ...},
  {content: "Hypothesis testing", status: "pending", ...},
  {content: "Implementation", status: "pending", ...}
]

If you're not updating todos, you're not following the skill.
