  • SKILL.md covers Installation, Setup, Commands and Usage Examples, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls npm; needs TODOIST_API_TOKEN

What it does

Todoist is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Manage tasks and projects in Todoist. Use when user asks about tasks, to-dos, reminders, or productivity.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 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: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • User asks about tasks

Example prompts

  • “/todoist”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in TODOIST_API_TOKEN

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Get API token from https://todoist.com/app/settings/integrations/developer
  2. Either

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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:

    • npm

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • todoist.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • TODOIST_API_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Todoist loads about 777 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 147 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~777

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.
