SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill connects Todoist to Dex so tasks do not get duplicated, lost, or left out of sync across your personal operating system and task manager.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-way task sync: Create tasks in Dex and they appear in Todoist, or complete them in Todoist and Dex picks up the change.
  • Daily planning support: Merge Todoist items due today into Dex daily plans for a more complete view of your workload.
  • Inbox and triage routing: Decide whether new items should live in Dex, Todoist, or both when processing captured work.
  • Cross-system review: Compare completion progress across both systems during weekly reviews.
  • Safe configuration: Stores API credentials locally, supports trust-level choices, and prevents sync loops with task markers.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to set up Todoist sync for Dex and be ready to paste your Todoist API token when prompted.
