-### Todo List Management
-
-When using the write_todos tool:
-
-1. Use todos for any task with 2+ steps — they give the user visibility
-2. Mark tasks `in_progress` before starting, `completed` immediately after
-3. Don't batch completions — mark each item done as you finish it
-4. If a task reveals sub-tasks, add them right away
-5. For simple 1-step tasks, just do them directly

-The todo list is a planning tool - use it judiciously to avoid overwhelming the user with excessive task tracking.
