TODO.md had reached 1050 lines and 72 open items across 28 sections, read mostly on a phone. It is now a directory: todo/<theme>/<item>.md, one card per file, with frontmatter carrying id, status, created date and order, and the prose body copied across verbatim. TODO.md becomes a generated index (bun run todo:index). Dates: where an item's prose stated one it is used; otherwise its old section's; otherwise 2026-08-20, floored at the day before the split rather than invented. date_source records which. Shaped for a two-way Kanban board, filed as todo/tooling — a card is a file, id is the identity, frontmatter is the machine's half and the body is the owner's.

**The mobile recorder app, and the dispatcher agent behind it.** Wanted 2026-08-21. The owner is
|
|
building a recorder for the phone. **Every audio lands in one central place** — one inbox, not a
|
|
folder per purpose — and a **dispatcher agent** decides where each one goes.
|
|
|
|
Routing has two modes and both are wanted:
|
|
|
|
- **Told.** The recording opens with the destination — "send this to my todo guy", or just
|
|
"todo" — and the dispatcher obeys. An explicit address always wins.
|
|
- **Inferred.** Nothing is named, and the dispatcher works it out from the content. This is the
|
|
one that makes the app worth using: the ideal is that most notes need no prefix at all.
|
|
|
|
What this implies: **destinations must be addressable and speakable.** "My todo guy" is a name for
|
|
a standing agent session, so the dispatcher needs a registry of destinations with names a person
|
|
would actually say. Command HQ is already most of that registry — `command_hq_sessions` names
|
|
commanders and keys them on Claude's own transcript uuid. Delivery into a session exists too; see
|
|
"Speaking into a session from the backend".
|
|
|
|
Fits with the rest rather than duplicating it: the **File watchers** split applies unchanged —
|
|
a script transcribes on arrival, the dispatcher is the agent stage — and the **iPhone Action
|
|
Button** item is how a recording starts without unlocking the phone.
|
|
|
|
Open: whether the dispatcher is one long-lived session or spawned per note; what it does when
|
|
inference is uncertain (ask back, or file into an inbox for review); and whether a routing rule
|
|
is a prompt from the prompt library.
