Todo write
Before writing any artifact files, the agent commits to a numbered plan via the TodoWrite tool. The plan is the audit trail; subsequent turns either tick items off or rewrite the plan. The atom's prompt fragment teaches the agent to:
- Keep todos atomic (one verb per todo).
- Reorder freely as the picture sharpens.
- Mark a todo complete only after the matching artifact lands.
- Surface blockers as todos — never silently skip.
The Open Design daemon does not enforce a particular tool name; the agent is free to use TodoWrite (Claude Code) or an in-prompt list. The atom's job is to keep "make a plan first" in the system prompt so non-trivial workflows don't skip the planning step.
