Or a do-nothing script if you don't want to automate it right away.

Never seen that concept before. I've done similar in the past using aliases in my ~/.zshrc

  alias taskname='echo "blah. blah... instructions for task..."'
Of course, then I have to remember what nemonnic I used for 'taskname'!

I had the exact same reaction. I have little "README.md" text files scattered about to remind me how to do things and never thought to make an interactive post-it note.
