Use when starting any complex task (3+ steps) or before declaring work complete. Enforces todo/task state to match reality — merge updates + read verification. Prevents false completion.
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
# Todo Discipline (Free) Agents often create task lists, do the work, then conclude while the UI still shows **0/N done**. This skill makes **task state = reality** a hard gate. ## When to Use - Complex tasks with 3+ steps - Multi-agent or long sessions - Before any “done”, handover, or “battle-tested” claim **Don't use for:** single-step Q&A. ## Hard gate Before any concluding message: 1. Update **every** finished item to completed (merge, don’t wipe history) 2. **Immediately read** the task list again (no-args read) 3. Only then write the final summary Treat the **read result** as ground truth if merge responses echo stale state (common in long/headless runs). ## Rules - Prefer merge over full replace - Only one item `in_progress` at a time - Never pass an empty todos array on merge (can clear the list) - Supply full id + content + **new** status for items you change ## Verification checklist - [ ] All finished work marked completed - [ ] No stale in_progress when claiming done - [ ] Read-back confirmed - [ ] User-visible task counter matches reality ## License MIT — Frank Riemer / GenCreator.

How to install
mdr add frankxai/awesome-hermes-agent-skills/todo-discipline@sha256:11feca8cbeb981b4The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
