Our review
Updates worklog files by moving tasks between todo, doing, and done states based on explicit commands.
Strengths
- Simple task tracking without external tools
- Local and version-controlled files
- Clear separation of backlog, active, and completed tasks
- Append-only done file prevents data loss
Limitations
- Requires manual command updates
- No built-in search or filtering
- Limited to single-user workflow
When you need a lightweight, file-based task tracking system integrated into your development workflow.
When you need collaborative task management, complex project planning, or integration with external issue trackers.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only manipulates local worklog files (read, append, remove items) within a designated directory. No network, external commands, or destructive actions are involved. All operations are safe and confined to file updates.

Examples
worklog done config/settings.py setup completeworklog doing collectors/data_go_kr.py implementationworklog todo parsers/xml_parser.py implementationname: worklog description: Update worklog files by moving tasks between todo/doing/done states. Use when recording task progress, starting new work, or marking tasks complete. Requires explicit arguments: worklog [done|doing|todo] [description].
Worklog
Update task state in worklog files. Requires explicit arguments.
Worklog Files
localdocs/worklog.todo.md— backloglocaldocs/worklog.doing.md— in progresslocaldocs/worklog.done.md— completed (grouped by date, append-only)
worklog is for current phase/session execution tracking.
For future items not yet included in an approved plan, use localdocs/backlog.<topic>.md.
Arguments
$ARGUMENTS must be: [state] [description]
done [description]— mark task completedoing [description]— start working on a tasktodo [description]— add to backlog
If no arguments, stop and output:
Error: worklog requires explicit arguments.
Usage: worklog [done|doing|todo] [description]
Examples:
worklog done config/settings.py setup complete
worklog doing collectors/data_go_kr.py implementation
worklog todo parsers/xml_parser.py implementation
What to Read (by command)
done: Read worklog.doing.md only — to find and remove the matching item.
doing: Read worklog.todo.md only — to find and remove the matching item.
todo: No need to read any file — just append.
Never read worklog.done.md — it is append-only and grows over time.
Update Rules
done [description]
- Read
worklog.doing.md; find matching item (keyword match, not exact) - Remove the item from doing
- Append to
worklog.done.mdunder today's date section (## YYYY-MM-DD), creating the section if absent - If no match in doing, append directly to done without removing anything
doing [description]
- Read
worklog.todo.md; find matching item - Remove the item from todo
- Append to
worklog.doing.md - If no match in todo, append directly to doing
todo [description]
- Append item to end of
worklog.todo.md
Writing Style
- Concise bullet points — focus on what was done, not how
- Use filenames and concrete task names over vague descriptions
- No tables or heavy formatting
- Done items must be under a date section (
## YYYY-MM-DD)
Output
Worklog updated:
- [action taken]: [description]
