List all pending todos, allow selection, load full context for the selected todo, and route to appropriate action.

Extract from init JSON: todo_count, todos, pending_dir.

If todo_count is 0:

No pending todos.

Todos are captured during work sessions with /gsd-add-todo.

---

Would you like to:

1. Continue with current phase (/gsd:progress)
2. Add a todo now (/gsd-add-todo)

Exit.

Check for area filter in arguments: - `/gsd:capture --list` → show all - `/gsd:capture --list api` → filter to area:api only Use the `todos` array from init context (already filtered by area if specified).

Parse and display as numbered list:

Pending Todos:

1. Add auth token refresh (api, 2d ago)
2. Fix modal z-index issue (ui, 1d ago)
3. Refactor database connection pool (database, 5h ago)

---

Reply with a number to view details, or:
- `/gsd:capture --list [area]` to filter by area
- `q` to exit

Format age as relative time from created timestamp.

Wait for user to reply with a number.

If valid: load selected todo, proceed. If invalid: "Invalid selection. Reply with a number (1-[N]) or q to exit."

Read the todo file completely. Display:

## [title]

**Area:** [area]
**Created:** [date] ([relative time] ago)
**Files:** [list or "None"]

### Problem
[problem section content]

### Solution
[solution section content]

If files field has entries, read and briefly summarize each.

Check for roadmap (can use init progress or directly check file existence):

If .planning/ROADMAP.md exists:

1. Check if todo's area matches an upcoming phase
2. Check if todo's files overlap with a phase's scope
3. Note any match for action options

**If todo maps to a roadmap phase:**

Text mode (workflow.text_mode: true in config or --text flag): Set TEXT_MODE=true if --text is present in $ARGUMENTS OR text_mode from init JSON is true. When TEXT_MODE is active, replace every AskUserQuestion call with a plain-text numbered list and ask the user to type their choice number. This is required for non-Claude runtimes (OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, etc.) where AskUserQuestion is not available. Use AskUserQuestion:

• header: "Action"
• question: "This todo relates to Phase [N]: [name]. What would you like to do?"
• options:
  • "Work on it now" — move to done, start working
  • "Add to phase plan" — include when planning Phase [N]
  • "Brainstorm approach" — think through before deciding
  • "Put it back" — return to list

If no roadmap match:

Use AskUserQuestion:

• header: "Action"
• question: "What would you like to do with this todo?"
• options:
  • "Work on it now" — move to done, start working
  • "Create a phase" — /gsd-add-phase with this scope
  • "Brainstorm approach" — think through before deciding
  • "Put it back" — return to list

**Work on it now:** ```bash mv ".planning/todos/pending/[filename]" ".planning/todos/completed/" ``` Update STATE.md todo count. Present problem/solution context. Begin work or ask how to proceed.

Add to phase plan: Note todo reference in phase planning notes. Keep in pending. Return to list or exit.

Create a phase: Display: /gsd-add-phase [description from todo] Keep in pending. User runs command in fresh context.

Brainstorm approach: Keep in pending. Start discussion about problem and approaches.

Put it back: Return to list_todos step.

After any action that changes todo count:

Re-run init todos to get updated count, then update STATE.md "### Pending Todos" section if exists.

If todo was moved to done/, commit the change:

git rm --cached .planning/todos/pending/[filename] 2>/dev/null || true
gsd_run query commit "docs: start work on todo - [title]" --files .planning/todos/completed/[filename] .planning/STATE.md

Tool respects commit_docs config and gitignore automatically.

Confirm: "Committed: docs: start work on todo - [title]"
