Lightweight work tracking beats heavy project management tools for ephemeral flows. Here is how **FragBin** enables fast checklist-driven execution.

## 1. Basic Checklist Syntax

```md
- [ ] Pending item
- [x] Completed item
```

## 2. Common Use Cases

| Scenario          | Value                     |
| ----------------- | ------------------------- |
| Release QA        | Standardized verification |
| Incident response | Shared real-time progress |
| Daily focus list  | Personal accountability   |

## 3. Embed Context

Add a brief purpose line at the top. Helps others decide whether to engage.

## 4. Expire Operational Lists

Set expiration so completed checklists self-clean.

## 5. Combine with Raw Endpoint

Automate progress parsing by fetching raw checklist content into scripts.

## 6. Checklist Hygiene

- Keep items atomic
- Avoid nesting too deep
- Review before closing incident or release

## 7. Template Example

```md
# Deployment Checklist

- [ ] Migrations applied
- [ ] Health checks passing
- [ ] Metrics stable
- [ ] Rollback plan documented
```

Markdown checklists + FragBin = just enough structure for transient operational tasks.
