Manage tasks across Todoist (todoist-cli), Things 3 (things-cli), and Taskwarrior (task).

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

C Tasks is an agent skill from daxaur/openpaw. Manage tasks across Todoist (todoist-cli), Things 3 (things-cli), and Taskwarrior (task). Detects which tool is installed. Supports adding, listing, completing, and filtering tasks across all three managers.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Todoist. The repository describes itself as: Personal Assistant Wizard for Claude Code — npx pawmode. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/c-tasks”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2562d1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

C Tasks loads about 588 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 92 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~588

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

This skill supports three task managers. Detect which is available with which todoist-cli things-cli task and use accordingly.

Todoist — todoist-cli

bash
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

bash
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

bash
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-DD or due: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/.
