Description
Operate Todoist through a Python CLI backed by the Todoist REST API. Use when the task requires deterministic Todoist automation instead of chatty natural-la...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims: run the included Python CLI against the Todoist REST API. Before installing: (1) understand that you must provide your TODOIST_API_KEY (this token is used as a Bearer header and will be sent to api.todoist.com); (2) verify the skill installation path as recommended in SKILL.md before running scripts; (3) avoid putting highly sensitive secrets or long private transcripts into task titles — use comments with add-file/add-stdin as advised; (4) if you want extra safety, create/rotate a Todoist token you can revoke later and review the included scripts locally (they are bundled and stdlib-only). If you see the skill making requests to non-Todoist domains in future versions, treat that as suspicious and revoke the token.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: todoist-orbit
Version: 0.1.6
The todoist-orbit skill is a standard Python-based CLI for interacting with the Todoist REST API using only the Python standard library. It provides comprehensive management of tasks, projects, and comments, including file upload capabilities for attachments. While the script can read local files (scripts/todoist_orbit.py), this functionality is strictly aligned with its stated purpose of uploading user-specified content to the official Todoist API (api.todoist.com), and no evidence of malicious exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or prompt injection was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the actual code and instructions. The skill requires only python3 and TODOIST_API_KEY, which are appropriate for a Todoist CLI. Declared optional env (TZ) is harmless.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md confines runtime behavior to running the bundled Python script against Todoist endpoints and instructs verifying the installed path first. The CLI and docs consistently reference Todoist API endpoints and comment/upload flows. Note: the request helper will accept a full URL if passed one (the code treats endpoints starting with 'http' as absolute), but SKILL.md and the codebase otherwise target api.todoist.com.
Install Mechanism
There is no automatic installer (manual install note in skill.json). This is lower-risk than fetching remote archives; all code is present in the skill bundle. No downloads or third-party package installs are requested.
Credentials
Only TODOIST_API_KEY is required (and optional TZ). That matches the skill's need to authenticate to Todoist. There are no extraneous secrets or unrelated environment variables requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable. The skill does not request elevated or persistent platform privileges, nor does it modify other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install todoist-orbit - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/todoist-orbit - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
