I took this from a tutorial out there in google land.

I'm not sure I understand, but I will remove this regardless. Why are
you mentioning creating a TODO list? The commands above are "jumpt to
state commands - not create commands. So, if the code I cribbed above is
not correct, how is the best way to add commands to agenda mode - its
not obvious how to jump straight to a state as opposed to cycling to it
manually with all the note prompts that come with that flow.
