Todolist Md Clawdbot

What This Skill Does

The Todolist Md Clawdbot is a specialized AI agent skill designed to bridge the gap between human-readable Markdown todo lists and automated task management. It operates by reading, summarizing, and editing Markdown files that follow the todolist-md schema (using GFM checkboxes). The bot is uniquely engineered to be 'line-stable,' meaning it avoids destructive formatting changes, instead using non-intrusive HTML comment markers (<!-- bot: ... -->) to record its status, edits, and review history directly within the source document. This approach ensures that your todo lists remain compatible with both your favorite text editors and the specialized todolist-md application.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, run the following command in your terminal or Clawhub interface: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/nitsujy/todolist-md-clawdbot After installation, the bot will perform a one-time setup to determine your storage backend (Google Drive, local folder, or S3) and establish the root directory for your tasks. It is recommended to create a .todolist-md.config.json file in your root folder to define which files the AI should track, helping to manage scope and prevent accidental edits to sensitive documentation.

Use Cases

• Project Management: Automatically update task statuses and add progress markers without leaving your Markdown-based workflow.
• Content Curation: Summarize large, messy todo lists into actionable highlights during weekly planning sessions.
• Automated Logging: Maintain a 'Last Reviewed' timestamp at the top of your files to ensure compliance with GTD or agile review habits.
• Task Delegation: Propose new task items to a file based on your chat conversations, waiting for your final confirmation before writing them to the disk.

Example Prompts

1. "Review my 'work_projects.md' file and summarize the tasks that are currently overdue or stalled."
2. "Add a new task to my shopping list for 'buy milk' and tag it with #errands."
3. "Can you check my project tracker and propose a prioritized list of tasks for the upcoming week based on my recent notes?"

Tips & Limitations

• Line Stability: The bot respects existing line breaks and blockquotes. Avoid modifying the internal structure of task blockquotes manually while the bot is active to ensure the bot can locate tasks accurately.
• Safety First: The bot will never mark a task as completed without explicit user confirmation, protecting against accidental status changes.
• Scope Control: Always use the .todolist-md.config.json file to explicitly exclude files you do not want the bot to touch, especially if you store mixed content in your project directories.
