SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires todoist-api-python>=3,<4, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill bridges a local Git repository and Todoist so you can manage project-scoped tasks without manually switching contexts, ensuring repository work items are tracked, prioritized, and updated in a consistent Todoist project namespace.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Initializes a repository-specific Todoist subproject under projects/<repo> and ensures idempotent setup.
  • Lists and formats tasks by priority and due date, retrieves task details including subtasks, and supports add, update, complete, and delete operations.
  • Use cases: quickly view outstanding repo tasks, convert vague chores into actionable items, split large tasks into subtasks, and start or close work items directly from a Todoist-backed workflow.
  • Safety: write operations (init, add, update, close, delete) are intended to be performed only after user confirmation; listing and fetching are safe to run immediately.

Quick Start

Use the todoist skill to list and prioritize tasks for this repository by running the embedded script's list command and reviewing the output.
