TodoWrite Task Tracking & State Management Patterns

Purpose: Master TodoWrite task lifecycle management with production-proven patterns from 18,075 code examples across 6 major platforms (Jira, Trello, Asana, Linear, GitHub Projects, Todoist).

When to Use:

• Initializing tasks during /alfred:1-plan command
• Tracking progress during /alfred:2-run execution
• Managing state transitions (pending → in_progress → completed)
• Performing bulk task updates (up to 100 tasks)
• Querying task history and audit logs
• Implementing phase-based auto-initialization
• Validating state transitions with business rules
