todo-manager

What This Skill Does

The todo-manager skill provides an efficient, Markdown-based task management system directly within your OpenClaw workspace. It enables you to organize your daily objectives, track progress, and maintain a historical log of completed tasks without ever leaving your terminal environment. By utilizing a standardized todos.md file located at ~/.openclaw/workspace/todos.md, this skill ensures your tasks are portable, human-readable, and persistent across sessions.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aeoleader/todo-manager Ensure you have sufficient permissions to write to your workspace directory.

Use Cases

• Project Tracking: Break down large project requirements into manageable, actionable items.
• Daily Workflow: Keep a recurring list of routine tasks, such as clearing emails or running local tests.
• Personal Productivity: Maintain a quick-access checklist for errands or personal goals that you need to check throughout the day.
• Contextual Documentation: Since the data is stored in Markdown, you can manually edit the file if you need to perform batch updates or reorganization.

Example Prompts

1. "/todo add 编写项目的README文档"
2. "/todo list"
3. "/todo done 1"

Tips & Limitations

• Efficiency: Use the short-hand aliases (+ for add, ls for list) to save time during rapid-fire task entry.
• Formatting: The system relies on the specific syntax of ~/.openclaw/workspace/todos.md. While you can edit this file manually, ensure you maintain the [ ] and [x] syntax for the parser to correctly identify task status.
• Limitations: The skill currently does not support automated reminders or synchronization with cloud-based calendar services. It operates entirely as a local, file-based task tracker. If you delete the todos.md file, all stored task data will be lost unless you have external backups configured.
