Description
No-nonsense task manager using SQLite. Track tasks with statuses (backlog, todo, in-progress, done), descriptions, and tags. Use when managing personal tasks, to-do items, project tracking, or any workflow that needs status-based task organization. Supports adding, listing, filtering, updating, moving, and deleting tasks.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a straightforward local task manager that operates on a SQLite database file (default: ~/.no-nonsense/tasks.db). Before installing/running: 1) ensure sqlite3 is installed; 2) review and, if desired, run scripts in a sandbox or with a copied DB to confirm behavior; 3) note the DB path can be overridden via NO_NONSENSE_TASKS_DB (AGENT.md incorrectly mentions NO_NONSENSE_DB); 4) back up any existing tasks.db before running migrations or destructive commands (delete/update); and 5) if you need networked or multi-user task storage, this skill is not designed for that.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: no-nonsense-tasks Version: 1.1.0 The OpenClaw skill 'no-nonsense-tasks' is a benign SQLite-based task manager. It demonstrates robust security practices, including explicit SQL injection protection through input validation (`validate_task_id`, `validate_status`) and string escaping (`sql_escape`) for all user-controlled inputs before they are passed to `sqlite3` commands, as detailed in `scripts/lib.sh` and consistently applied across all `scripts/*.sh` files. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or obfuscation. The `SKILL.md` and `AGENT.md` files serve as clear documentation and development guides, respectively, and contain no prompt injection attempts or instructions for the AI agent to deviate from its stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the implementation: shell scripts operate on a local SQLite DB, implement add/list/filter/update/move/delete, and require the sqlite3 CLI as documented. No unrelated services, credentials, or binaries are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run included shell scripts that only access the local DB path (~/.no-nonsense/tasks.db by default) and standard environment variables. The scripts validate and escape inputs before embedding into SQL. There is no network I/O, no reading of unrelated system files, and no instructions to exfiltrate data. One minor doc inconsistency: AGENT.md refers to NO_NONSENSE_DB while the scripts and SKILL.md use NO_NONSENSE_TASKS_DB.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec — this is instruction+script based. That minimizes installer risk. The only external dependency is the sqlite3 CLI, which is reasonable for the stated purpose.
Credentials
The skill does not request credentials or sensitive environment variables. It uses a single DB path environment override (NO_NONSENSE_TASKS_DB) which is proportional. Note the documentation typo (AGENT.md) referencing a different env var name; this is a documentation inconsistency, not a secret request.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request permanent inclusion (always:false) and does not change other skills or system-wide agent settings. It writes only to its own DB file path (creates the directory for the DB) which is expected for a local task manager.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install no-nonsense-tasks
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /no-nonsense-tasks
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
