Use when the user asks for a shared plan, a task needs at least three substantive execution steps, or a loose TODO is pending. Without an explicit plan request, not for one-shot answers or checks, or one- to two-step work that is not already in the list.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Chat TODO plan

## What it is

- A plan **scoped to this chat** — your tasks for the conversation. Shown to the user in the Todo
  panel; lives with the session (not committed to the repo).
- **Group = task, item = step.** One user ask = one group; its title is the *outcome* ("Fix login
  redirect"), not the process. The steps inside are the items — each has a **title**, a **status**
  (`pending` → `in_progress` → `done`), and an optional **note**. The note is **agent-facing working
  detail** — the human's default plan view shows titles + status and keeps notes behind a disclosure —
  so it's where your own tracking, reminders, and the done-criterion live (e.g. "login e2e green"),
  never a place the user must read to follow along. A task's own status is never stored — it derives from its steps.
- **Loose items are the shared raw-input queue — and they sit at the END of the plan.** Both sides
  write there: the user adds from the UI, and you may drop an unprocessed note with `todo_add` (no
  `group`, no `after`). Loose is *pre-work* — raw kernels and half-formed asks, never a step you are

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jetbrains/thinkrail/todos@sha256:81b0d033534ccf86

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.9a867af, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
