New 'mini todo' tool manages project backlogs with zero tokens

The developer introduces `mini todo`, a new backlog tool for managing deferred ideas and future development tasks within a project. This tool, built with TypeScript and operating on a single markdown file, costs zero tokens to use for adding ideas. It integrates seamlessly with the `mini next` agent, presenting backlog items as candidates for the next development phase. The tool allows for adding, editing, marking as done, removing, and clearing backlog items, ensuring that future development is organized without cluttering the current project state. AI
