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.

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 | $0.00068 | $0.00991 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00495 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00198 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00099 |
Grade A, and why
things-mac 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 5d 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.
This is a copy
98% identical to things-mac — 12 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
Things 3 CLI
Use things to read your local Things database (inbox/today/search/projects/areas/tags) and to add/update todos via the Things URL scheme.
Setup
- Install (recommended, Apple Silicon):
GOBIN=/opt/homebrew/bin go install github.com/ossianhempel/things3-cli/cmd/things@latest - If DB reads fail: grant Full Disk Access to the calling app (Terminal for manual runs;
Kabot.appfor gateway runs). - Optional: set
THINGSDB(or pass--db) to point at yourThingsData-*folder. - Optional: set
THINGS_AUTH_TOKENto avoid passing--auth-tokenfor update ops.
Read-only (DB)
things inbox --limit 50things todaythings upcomingthings search "query"things projects/things areas/things tags
Write (URL scheme)
- Prefer safe preview:
things --dry-run add "Title" - Add:
things add "Title" --notes "..." --when today --deadline 2026-01-02 - Bring Things to front:
things --foreground add "Title"
Examples: add a todo
- Basic:
things add "Buy milk" - With notes:
things add "Buy milk" --notes "2% + bananas" - Into a project/area:
things add "Book flights" --list "Travel" - Into a project heading:
things add "Pack charger" --list "Travel" --heading "Before" - With tags:
things add "Call dentist" --tags "health,phone" - Checklist:
things add "Trip prep" --checklist-item "Passport" --checklist-item "Tickets" - From STDIN (multi-line => title + notes):
cat <<'EOF' | things add -Title lineNotes line 1Notes line 2EOF
Examples: modify a todo (needs auth token)
- First: get the ID (UUID column):
things search "milk" --limit 5 - Auth: set
THINGS_AUTH_TOKENor pass--auth-token <TOKEN> - Title:
things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> "New title" - Notes replace:
things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --notes "New notes" - Notes append/prepend:
things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --append-notes "..."/--prepend-notes "..." - Move lists:
things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --list "Travel" --heading "Before" - Tags replace/add:
things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --tags "a,b"/things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --add-tags "a,b" - Complete/cancel (soft-delete-ish):
things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --completed/--canceled - Safe preview:
things --dry-run update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --completed
Delete a todo?
- Not supported by
things3-cliright now (no “delete/move-to-trash†write command;things trashis read-only listing). - Options: use Things UI to delete/trash, or mark as
--completed/--canceledviathings update.
Notes
- macOS-only.
--dry-runprints the URL and does not open Things.
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.

things-mac is a skill published in the GitHub repository kaivyy/kabot (20 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 991 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
