# Todo Write Tool (`todo_write`)
This document describes the `todo_write` tool for Qwen Code.
## Description
Use `todo_write` to create and manage a structured task list for your current coding session. This tool helps the AI assistant track progress and organize complex tasks, providing you with visibility into what work is being performed.
### Arguments
`todo_write` takes one argument:
- `todos` (array, required): An array of todo items, where each item contains:
- `id` (string, required): A unique identifier for the todo item.
- `content` (string, required): The description of the task.
- `status` (string, required): The current status (`pending`, `in_progress`, or `completed`).
## How to use `todo_write` with Qwen Code
The AI assistant will automatically use this tool when working on complex, multi-step tasks. You don't need to explicitly request it, but you can ask the assistant to create a todo list if you want to see the planned approach for your request.
The tool stores todo lists in your home directory (`~/.qwen/todos/`) with session-specific files, so each coding session maintains its own task list.
## When the AI uses this tool
The assistant uses `todo_write` for:
- Complex tasks requiring multiple steps
- Feature implementations with several components
- Refactoring operations across multiple files
- Any work involving 3 or more distinct actions
The assistant will not use this tool for simple, single-step tasks or purely informational requests.
### `todo_write` examples
Creating a feature implementation plan:
```
todo_write(todos=[
{
"id": "create-model",
"content": "Create user preferences model",
"status": "pending"
},
{
"id": "add-endpoints",
"content": "Add API endpoints for preferences",
"status": "pending"
},
{
"id": "implement-ui",
"content": "Implement frontend components",
"status": "pending"
}
])
```
## Important notes
- **Automatic usage:** The AI assistant manages todo lists automatically during complex tasks.
- **Progress visibility:** You'll see todo lists updated in real-time as work progresses.
- **Session isolation:** Each coding session has its own todo list that doesn't interfere with others.
