Security audit

ia-file-todos

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward markdown-based todo helper whose file operations are disclosed and limited to the declared project todo workflow.

Install this if you want agents to create and maintain markdown todo files in your project. Expect it to add, rename, and update files under todos/; review those changes before committing if your todo files may include sensitive project details.
