What This Skill Does

The Todokan skill enables your OpenClaw agent to seamlessly interact with your Todokan Kanban boards directly through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It functions as a powerful bridge, allowing you to create, organize, track, and manage complex projects without ever leaving your chat interface. Whether you are managing professional sprints, personal task lists, or capturing research thoughts, Todokan acts as an intelligent layer on top of your workflow, ensuring your task management remains synchronized and actionable. By leveraging MCP, the skill maintains a secure, structured connection to your Todokan instances, respecting your environment variables while providing deep operational control over your boards.

Installation

To integrate Todokan into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/banatealab/todokan Ensure you have configured your TODOKAN_API_KEY and TODOKAN_MCP_URL in your environment variables. This setup is mandatory as the skill relies on these credentials to authenticate and communicate with the Todokan MCP server. Consult the official repository for specific server deployment instructions if you haven't yet hosted the MCP service.

Use Cases

Todokan is ideal for users who thrive in Kanban-style systems but want the efficiency of AI-assisted entry and retrieval. Use this skill to:

• Streamline Project Management: Rapidly add items to specific columns or boards.
• Search and Recall: Quickly surface tasks, notes, or research documents across multiple workspaces.
• Automate Status Updates: Transition tasks from 'In Progress' to 'Done' using simple natural language instructions.
• Research Documentation: Attach findings directly to relevant tasks, ensuring that context is never lost during your work sessions.

Example Prompts

1. "Create a task called 'Finalize budget report' on the 'Finance' board with high priority."
2. "What are the current tasks on my 'Development' board, and which ones are overdue?"
3. "Save my research notes on the quantum computing project to the task 'Quantum Research' in the 'Research' board."

Tips & Limitations

• Orientation is Key: Always perform an initial lookup using list_boards before attempting to modify tasks. This prevents errors related to incorrect UUIDs or misspelled board names.
• Confirm Before Writing: The skill is designed with safety guardrails; for destructive actions like delete_task, the agent will always require your explicit confirmation.
• Be Specific: While the AI can interpret natural language, providing specific board names or labels helps reduce ambiguity during task creation.
• Limitations: The skill currently only supports boards accessible via the provided MCP URL. Ensure your API key has appropriate permissions for the boards you intend to manage.
