/install things-mac
Description
Manage Things 3 via the `things` CLI on macOS (add/update projects+todos via URL scheme; read/search/list from the local Things database). Use when a user asks Clawdbot to add a task to Things, list inbox/today/upcoming, search tasks, or inspect projects/areas/tags.
Usage Guidance
Install this if you want Clawdbot to manage Things 3 on macOS. Try normal reads first, grant Full Disk Access only if needed and only to the app you intend to use, keep THINGS_AUTH_TOKEN private, and use dry-run before uncertain write or update commands.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: things-mac
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is designed to manage Things 3 on macOS using the `things3-cli` tool. Installation instructions are standard for Go modules, and all commands demonstrated are legitimate interactions with the Things 3 application or its local database. The `SKILL.md` transparently mentions that 'Full Disk Access' might be required for `Clawdbot.app` to read the local Things database, which is a high-privilege but necessary permission for this functionality on macOS. There is no evidence of prompt injection, data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or obfuscation. The skill's behavior is clearly aligned with its stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The documented capabilities match the stated purpose: list/search/read Things data and add or update tasks through the Things CLI and Things URL scheme.
Instruction Scope
Commands are user-directed and include dry-run examples, but update operations can change task titles, notes, lists, tags, and completion or cancellation state.
Install Mechanism
Installation uses a standard Go module install for things3-cli, but it installs @latest rather than a pinned version.
Credentials
Full Disk Access is disclosed as conditional for database reads and is purpose-aligned, but it is broader than Things-only access and should be granted carefully.
Persistence & Privilege
The artifact shows no background worker, persistence, obfuscation, exfiltration, or destructive delete flow; lasting privilege would come from user-granted Full Disk Access or an optional Things auth token.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install things-mac - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/things-mac - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
