A guide for managing tasks, projects, labels, priorities, and due dates in Todoist, a to-do list and planning service, through its command-line tool.

Use it to add, complete, update, or delete tasks; view tasks due today; inspect the inbox; and list or search projects, labels, and filters.

It provides a consistent way to find and update tasks without manually navigating the app. It also uses saved project and label names, refreshing them when those names become outdated.

todoist — Skill for Claude Code by jackhutson

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add jackhutson/todoist-plugin --skill todoist

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/jackhutson/todoist-plugin

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install todoist, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 5 skills, 1 agent.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00103	$0.01073
Opus 5	$0.00051	$0.00536
Sonnet 5	$0.00021	$0.00215
Haiku 4.5	$0.00010	$0.00107

Measured 7d ago against content hash 0a8d74ac4563, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-08, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

todoist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Todoist Operations (td CLI)

All operations use the official td CLI. If td is missing or errors with an auth failure, invoke todoist:setup instead of improvising.

Execution paths

Inline (default): bounded output — single-task ops, --limited queries, quickadd, structure lists in small accounts. Run td directly.
Delegate to todoist-agent: output that scales with account size — full-account scans, multi-project sweeps, structure discovery. Ask for a digest (≤30 lines) of exactly what is needed.

Preferences & structure cache

Read once per session, only when first needed, from ~/.config/todoist-plugin/:

preferences.md — honor its key: value entries (e.g. capture-project).
structure.md — exact project and label names, for routing without a discovery call. If missing, or any command errors name-not-found: refresh (td project list + td label list), rewrite the file in this shape, then retry the command once:
```
updated: YYYY-MM-DD
## Projects
- 🗓️ Admin
## Labels
- @deep
```
The account is the source of truth; never argue with an error from a cached name — refresh.

Core commands

Views: td today · td inbox · td upcoming <days> · td completed list --since YYYY-MM-DD --until YYYY-MM-DD
Create: td task quickadd "Review PR tomorrow p1 #Work @urgent" — the NL parser handles dates, p1–p4, #Project, @label, /Section, +Assignee. CAVEAT: #Project matches only exact single-word names; a miss is silent (task lands in Inbox, literal #... kept in content). For multi-word/emoji projects — or whenever routing must not miss — use td task add "..." --project X (fuzzy-matched), with --section, --labels "a,b", --due "<natural language>", --deadline YYYY-MM-DD, --description, --parent <ref>, --priority p2 as needed.
Read: td task list --project X --label Y --priority p1 --limit 20 · td task view <ref>
Change: td task update <ref> [--due|--priority|--labels|--no-due|--no-labels] · td task reschedule <ref> <YYYY-MM-DD> · td task move <ref> --project X · td task complete <ref> · td task delete <ref> --yes
Dates: reschedule takes only YYYY-MM-DD; natural language ("tomorrow", "monday") goes through --due on add/update, or quickadd text.
Structure: td project list · td section list <project> · td label list · td filter list · td filter create --name X --query "p1 & #Work"
Refs: fuzzy name, id:xxx, or a Todoist URL.
Long tail (comments, reminders, goals, workspaces, templates): run td <command> --help first — the CLI is self-documenting.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
