Telegram Todolist

What This Skill Does

The Telegram Todolist skill by hengbo12345 provides a seamless way to manage your task list directly from the Telegram interface. By leveraging a structured TODO.md file located in your workspace, the agent acts as a bridge between your chat and your project files. It allows you to query, organize, and execute tasks using simple natural language-inspired commands. Whether you need to track daily progress, maintain a backlog, or mark items as completed, this skill ensures your tasks are always in sync with your local project workspace.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hengbo12345/telegram-todolist Once installed, ensure your workspace has a TODO.md file formatted according to the template to enable parsing and state tracking.

Use Cases

This skill is highly effective for developers, project managers, and productivity enthusiasts who reside in Telegram. It is perfect for:

• Tracking daily coding sprints without leaving the messaging app.
• Keeping a running list of features or bugs to address during a project.
• Maintaining a persistent backlog that survives agent restarts by using file-based storage.
• Reviewing daily progress statistics during stand-up meetings or wrap-ups.

Example Prompts

1. "/todo query"
2. "/todo organize add Write documentation for the new API feature"
3. "/todo execute 1"

Tips & Limitations

• Consistent Formatting: The skill relies on specific Markdown patterns. Ensure your TODO.md uses - [ ] or - [x] syntax for tasks and bold text for task titles to ensure the parser recognizes them correctly.
• Error Management: If the skill fails to find a task number, double-check your numbering by running /todo query first to see the current index mapping.
• File Permissions: The agent needs read and write access to the workspace root to modify the TODO.md file. If you encounter errors, verify your system permissions for the /root/.openclaw/workspace/ directory.
• Subtask Support: While the parser handles subtasks, keep them nested directly under the main task to avoid potential parsing logic failures.
