+## 6. Todo System & Auto-Continuation
+
+Loki includes a built-in task tracking system designed to improve the reliability of agents, especially when using
+smaller language models. The Todo System helps models:
+
+- Break complex tasks into manageable steps
+- Track progress through multi-step workflows
+- Automatically continue work until all tasks are complete
+
+### Quick Configuration
+
+```yaml
+# agents/my-agent/config.yaml
+auto_continue: true              # Enable auto-continuation
+max_auto_continues: 10           # Max continuation attempts
+inject_todo_instructions: true   # Include the default todo instructions into prompt
+```
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. When `inject_todo_instructions` is enabled, agents receive instructions on using four built-in tools:
+    - `todo__init`: Initialize a todo list with a goal
+    - `todo__add`: Add a task to the list
+    - `todo__done`: Mark a task complete
+    - `todo__list`: View current todo state
+   
+   These instructions are a reasonable default that detail how to use Loki's To-Do System. If you wish, 
+   you can disable the injection of the default instructions and specify your own instructions for how 
+   to use the To-Do System into your main `instructions` for the agent.
+
+2. When `auto_continue` is enabled and the model stops with incomplete tasks, Loki automatically sends a
+   continuation prompt with the current todo state, nudging the model to continue working.
+
+3. This continues until all tasks are done or `max_auto_continues` is reached.
+
+### When to Use
+
+- Multistep tasks where the model might lose track
+- Smaller models that need more structure
+- Workflows requiring guaranteed completion of all steps
+
+For complete documentation including all configuration options, tool details, and best practices, see the
+[Todo System Guide](./TODO-SYSTEM.md).

 ## Built-In Agents
 Loki comes packaged with some useful built-in agents:
