Claude Code 2.1.233 removed the todo/task tools by default on Opus 4.8, Sonnet 5, Fable 5, Mythos 5 and newer models (TodoWrite, TaskCreate/Get/Update/List). CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TODO_TOOLS=1 restores them, but that is a per-machine environment setting that does not travel with a skill, so this skill cannot assume its reader has a task list at all. Three claims are wrong for most readers on a current version: - "What Survives Compaction" listed "TodoWrite task list" unconditionally - "Plan is in TodoWrite or a file" as the reason to compact at Planning→Implementation - "Once plan is finalized in TodoWrite, compact to start fresh" This is load-bearing advice rather than a cosmetic detail: "my todo list survives compaction" is a reason to compact INSTEAD of writing state down. If the tools are absent there is no list to survive, so the reader follows the advice, compacts, and the plan is simply gone. Changes: - Promote "Files on disk" into the survives table — the claim that holds on every version and model. - Make the task-list row conditional and add a short caveat naming the version, the env var, and the fact that it does not travel with the skill. - Point readers at a file as the durable record before compacting. - Reword the Decision Guide and Best Practices lines so neither depends on the tool existing. Applied identically to the Codex (.agents/) and Kiro (.kiro/) mirrors so the three copies agree. Those mirrors have pre-existing drift from the main skill; this change deliberately does not touch anything beyond the same three claims. Verified locally: all eight scripts/ci/ validators pass (unicode-safety, skills, agents, commands, rules, hooks, install-manifests, no-personal-paths), plus catalog:check, command-registry:check, and harness-adapter-compliance (12 adapters). No emoji in the added block, per check-unicode-safety.
