Todoist Skill β€” Natural Language Task Management

Manage your Todoist tasks conversationally. No need to remember CLI syntax β€” just talk naturally about your tasks.

Natural Language Examples

This skill understands conversational requests:

List tasks:

  • "What tasks do I have today?"
  • "Show me my Todoist list for this week"
  • "What do I have overdue?"
  • "Show priority 1 tasks"
  • Add tasks:

  • "Add 'buy milk' to my todo list"
  • "Create a task to call the dentist tomorrow"
  • "I need to review the Q4 report by Friday"
  • "Add 'weekly standup' due every Monday"
  • Complete tasks:

  • "Complete my task about the dentist"
  • "Mark the milk task as done"
  • "I finished the report"
  • Manage projects:

  • "What projects do I have in Todoist?"
  • "Show tasks from my Work project"
  • Prerequisites

  • TODOIST_API_KEY environment variable must be set with your Todoist API token
  • Get your token at: https://todoist.com/app/settings/integrations/developer
  • Technical Usage

    If you prefer CLI commands or need to script operations, use the Python script directly:

    # List today's tasks
    python3 todoist/scripts/todoist.py list --filter "today"

    Add a task

    python3 todoist/scripts/todoist.py add "Buy milk" --due "tomorrow" --priority 2

    Complete a task by ID

    python3 todoist/scripts/todoist.py complete "TASK_ID"

    List all projects

    python3 todoist/scripts/todoist.py projects

    Filter Syntax

    When filtering tasks (via natural language or CLI):

  • today β€” tasks due today
  • overdue β€” overdue tasks
  • tomorrow β€” tasks due tomorrow
  • p1, p2, p3, p4 β€” priority filters
  • 7 days β€” tasks due in next 7 days
  • @label β€” tasks with specific label
  • #project β€” tasks in project
  • Combine with & (and) and | (or): today & p1
  • Priority Levels

  • 1 β€” Urgent (red)
  • 2 β€” High (orange)
  • 3 β€” Medium (blue)
  • 4 β€” Low (white/gray, default)
  • Features

  • βœ… Natural language task management
  • βœ… Timezone-aware "today" filtering
  • βœ… Smart filtering (excludes completed tasks)
  • βœ… Recurring task support
  • βœ… Full Todoist API v1 coverage
  • Response Format

    The script outputs JSON for programmatic use. See references/api.md for full API documentation.

    Notes
