  • Duplicate Detection: Uses fuzzy matching to identify and flag potential duplicate tasks between the two systems.
  • Conflict Resolution: Provides user-facing prompts to decide how to handle detected conflicts and duplicates.
  • Batch Operations: Leverages Todoist MCP for efficient batch creation of tasks and projects, respecting API rate limits.
  • Use Case: When you decide to switch your primary task manager from Things 3 to Todoist, use this skill to seamlessly transfer all your active and planned tasks without losing any information or creating unwanted duplicates.
