Tutorial: TodoWriteTool

The TodoWriteTool enables an AI agent to create and manage a structured checklist of tasks during complex coding sessions. It acts as a persistent memory aid, ensuring workflows are broken down into trackable steps (pending, in_progress, completed) that are saved to the application's state. Additionally, it features a quality assurance mechanism that nudges the agent to perform verification if it attempts to finish a large batch of tasks without explicit testing steps.
