What it does

Todoist Due Drafts is an agent skill from mgonto/executive-assistant-skills. Check Todoist for tasks due today (and overdue) that involve pinging, emailing, or following up with someone.

When your agent uses it

  • Running the daily due-drafts cron
  • User asks to process email tasks from Todoist

Example prompts

  • “/todoist-due-drafts”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Get today's due tasks from Todoist
  2. Identify email/ping tasks
  3. For each outreach task, draft the email
  4. Notify via WhatsApp
  5. Infrastructure

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

Todoist Due Drafts loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 668 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:22
    source {user.workspace}/.env
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:103
    - If no `.env` file or token expired: report "⚠️ Todoist token unavailable — check agent-secrets lease" and exit.

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 668 words (~1,613 tokens).

“Read ../config/user.json (resolves to ~/executive-assistant-skills/config/user.json). Extract and use throughout:”
