Description
Manage Todoist tasks via the `todoist` CLI (list, add, modify, complete, delete). Supports filters, projects, labels, and priorities.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it uses the todoist-cli to manage tasks. Before installing, check the Homebrew formula source (and the linked GitHub repo) to ensure the CLI is the official project. Be aware that the SKILL.md tells you to store your Todoist API token in ~/.config/todoist/config.json (plain JSON) and that the CLI also keeps a cache at ~/.config/todoist/cache.json—these files contain your token and local data, so store them only on trusted machines. If you want to limit risk: create a dedicated Todoist API token with minimal scope (if possible), keep a backup plan to revoke the token, and avoid enabling autonomous agent use of the skill unless you trust the agent and environment. Finally, consider inspecting the todoist-cli code (or Homebrew formula) if you need higher assurance that the installed binary behaves as expected.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: todoist-task-manager
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is benign. It provides instructions and metadata for managing Todoist tasks using the `todoist` CLI. The `SKILL.md` file details standard installation via Homebrew, configuration steps involving local storage of an API token in `~/.config/todoist/config.json` (necessary for the tool's function), and various `todoist` CLI commands. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts designed to subvert the agent for harmful purposes. All actions are clearly aligned with the stated purpose of a Todoist task manager.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, required binary (todoist) and the Homebrew install (todoist-cli) match the claimed purpose of managing Todoist tasks. Minor inconsistency: SKILL.md requires a Todoist API token stored in ~/.config/todoist/config.json, but the registry metadata lists no required credentials or primaryEnv.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs standard Todoist CLI operations (install, add/list/modify/close/delete, sync) and where the CLI stores config/cache. It does not ask the agent to read unrelated system files or exfiltrate data to unexpected endpoints.
Install Mechanism
Install is via a Homebrew formula (todoist-cli). This is a low-risk, expected distribution channel for a CLI tool and matches the declared bin.
Credentials
No environment variables are declared in the metadata, but SKILL.md instructs storing a Todoist API token in a plain JSON config file (~/.config/todoist/config.json). The requested credential is proportionate to the task, but its absence from declared requirements and the use of an unencrypted config file are worth noting.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true, does not modify other skills or system-wide settings, and requires only normal installation. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default (platform normal), but that is not combined with other high-risk requests here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install todoist-task-manager - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/todoist-task-manager - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
