Using Markdown Checklists for Lightweight Task Tracking

Using Markdown Checklists for Lightweight Task Tracking

Lightweight work tracking beats heavy project management tools for ephemeral flows. Here is how FragBin enables fast checklist-driven execution.

1. Basic Checklist Syntax

- [ ] 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

# Deployment Checklist

- [ ] Migrations applied
- [ ] Health checks passing
- [ ] Metrics stable
- [ ] Rollback plan documented

Markdown checklists + FragBin = just enough structure for transient operational tasks.
