Supports adding, listing, completing, and filtering tasks across all three managers. tags: [tasks, todoist, things, taskwarrior, productivity, todo]
This skill supports three task managers. Detect which is available with which todoist-cli things-cli task and use accordingly.
Todoist — todoist-cli
todoist-cli list # List today's tasks
todoist-cli list --project "Work" # Tasks in a project
todoist-cli add "Task name" --due today --priority 2
todoist-cli add "Task" --project "Work" --label "urgent"
todoist-cli complete <task-id>
todoist-cli delete <task-id>
todoist-cli projects # List all projects
todoist-cli search "query"
Things 3 — things-cli
things-cli today # Today's tasks
things-cli list # All tasks
things-cli list --area "Work"
things-cli add "Task name" --when today --tag "urgent"
things-cli add "Task" --project "Project Name" --deadline "2026-03-01"
things-cli complete "Task name"
things-cli projects # List projects
things-cli areas # List areas
Taskwarrior — task
task list # List pending tasks
task next # Highest-priority next task
task add "Task name" due:tomorrow pri:H project:work
task add "Task" +tag1 +tag2
task <id> done # Complete a task
task <id> delete
task <id> modify priority:H
task project:work list # Filter by project
task +OVERDUE list # Overdue tasks
task summary # Project summary
Usage Guidelines
- Check which tool is installed before running commands.
- If multiple are installed, ask the user which they prefer or use the one matching their request context.
- For natural language dates, Todoist and Things handle them natively; Taskwarrior uses
due:YYYY-MM-DDordue:tomorrow.
Notes
- Todoist requires API token configured via
todoist-cli auth. - Things 3 requires macOS and the Things 3 app.
- Taskwarrior stores tasks locally in
~/.task/.
