ticktick-go

What This Skill Does

The ticktick-go skill serves as a high-performance terminal bridge for TickTick, one of the world's most popular task management platforms. By integrating the ttg command-line interface directly into OpenClaw, this skill allows users to interact with their professional and personal task lists without ever leaving the terminal or context-switching between windows. It supports full lifecycle management of tasks—including creation, listing, completion, and deletion—as well as project-level organization. Because it utilizes the official TickTick API, all actions are synchronized across your devices in real-time, making it an essential tool for developers and power users who prefer CLI workflows.

Installation

To enable this skill, run the following command in your OpenClaw environment: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/dhruvkelawala/ticktick-go

After installation, you must install the underlying binary: git clone https://github.com/dhruvkelawala/ticktick-go && cd ticktick-go && make install. Ensure you have populated your ~/.config/ttg/config.json with your OAuth2 credentials obtained from the TickTick developer portal. Once configured, authenticate via ttg auth login.

Use Cases

• GTD Workflows: Implement "Getting Things Done" methodologies by quickly capturing thoughts into your Inbox and triaging them later via terminal commands.
• Automation: Use the JSON output feature combined with tools like jq to create custom reporting dashboards or to sync TickTick tasks with other CLI-based project management tools.
• Focus Management: Filter tasks by priority or due date during your morning standup or end-of-day review to maintain a clear list of objectives.
• Development Integration: Add tickets directly from your IDE terminal after reading code comments or PR feedback.

Example Prompts

1. "What do I have on my plate for today that is marked as high priority?"
2. "Add a new task: 'Submit architecture review' for tomorrow at 2 PM, add it to the Work project and set priority to high."
3. "List all tasks in my 'Side Projects' folder and give me the output in JSON so I can filter them."

Tips & Limitations

• Parsing Dates: The skill supports powerful natural language dates like "next monday" or "in 3 hours." Utilize these to save time.
• Automation: Pipe output to jq for advanced filtering if the standard CLI output is too verbose.
• Limitations: The skill is dependent on your internet connection to reach TickTick APIs and requires local configuration files to store sensitive credentials. Ensure your ~/.config/ttg/ directory has appropriate file permissions for security.
