Keep a to-do list from the terminal
Can I keep my to-do list without leaving the terminal?
Add a job with a due date, move it along as you work, and tick it off, on the same list the dashboard shows.
What you get: a to-do list that lives on your Quox, not in a text file, and that agents and the dashboard see too. You need: a signed-in profile. About 3 minutes.

4. In the quox window
Section titled “4. In the quox window”Inside quox, the same list is a few keystrokes away, with no model call: /todo <text> adds an item, /todos lists the board with short ids such as td1 and do1, /todo move do1 done moves one, and /done td1,td2 ticks items off. The conversation reference lists them.
What just happened
Section titled “What just happened”Each command changed one item on your own Action Tracker, under your login, straight away: none of them waits for an approval. The dashboard and chat read the same list, so an item you add here is there too.
Check it yourself
Section titled “Check it yourself”quox actions list after each step shows the item in its new column.
