How does this skill persist data across different sessions?

It uses standard Git commands to add and commit changes to the tasklist file, ensuring your backlog is version-controlled and persists across sessions.

Can I use this skill with other Arc plugins?

Yes, it is designed for interoperability. Tools like /arc:suggest or /arc:implement can read from or add discovered tasks to this list automatically.

Where are the tasks stored by this skill?

All tasks are stored in a local file at docs/tasklist.md within your project repository, making them easily accessible to both the AI and developers.

What happens when I mark a task as done?

You have the option to either remove the task entirely from the list or archive it into a dedicated 'Completed' section for future reference.
