What it does

Action Items Todoist is an agent skill from mgonto/executive-assistant-skills. Extract action items from today's Granola/Grain meetings, create Todoist tasks, complete fulfilled tasks, and draft meeting-triggered follow-up emails. Use when running the daily action items cron, post-meeting cron, or when user asks to process meeting action items. NOT for general email drafting without meeting context.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Scheduled and recurring tasks. It works with Todoist and Python. The repository describes itself as: Make OpenClaw the best executive assistant in the world and fire your human one like me.

When your agent uses it

  • Running the daily action items cron
  • Post-meeting cron
  • User asks to process meeting action items

Example prompts

  • “/action-items-todoist”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check today's calendar for meetings (BOTH accounts)
  2. Get today's meetings from Granola
  3. Query Granola for MY action items + email triggers
  4. Create Todoist tasks
  5. Draft follow-up emails
  6. Check if existing Todoist tasks were fulfilled in today's meetings

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28f5065. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Action Items Todoist loads about 3.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,831 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.8k

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.

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.
