todo

A task-capture tool that turns short requests into saved tasks. It can handle one task or several tasks at once and identify priority and due dates from the wording.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to save tasks from phrases such as “todo,” “remind me,” or “need to,” including batches separated by commas or new lines.
Why use it?
It reduces the effort needed to record tasks and avoids losing urgency or deadline information.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

todo 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 2d 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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Todo

Capture tasks fast. One task or many, with smart priority and due date detection.

Trigger Phrases

  • "todo:"
  • "remind me to"
  • "need to"
  • "don't forget to"
  • "add task:"

Workflow

Step 1: Parse Input

Extract task(s) from the user's message. Handle both single and batch input.

  • Single: todo: buy groceries → one task
  • Batch: todo: buy groceries, call dentist, review PR → three tasks
  • Split on commas or newlines when multiple tasks are present

Step 2: Detect Priority

Scan each task for priority signals:

Signal Priority
"urgent", "asap", "critical", "today" High
"soon", "this week", "important" Medium
Everything else Low

Strip priority keywords from the task text after detection.

Step 3: Detect Due Date

Look for date references:

  • Explicit: "by Friday", "due March 20", "before 5pm"
  • Relative: "today", "tomorrow", "this week", "next Monday"
  • Convert to an actual date based on the current date
  • If no date found, leave blank

Step 4: Save

Add task(s) to the user's task system.

Using {{notes}}: Create or append to a tasks page/database with fields: Task, Priority, Due Date, Status (default: Open).

Markdown fallback: Append to ~/.ai-workflow/todos.md:

- [ ] Buy groceries | Priority: Low | Due: —
- [ ] Call dentist | Priority: Medium | Due: 2026-03-21

Step 5: Confirm

Respond with a single confirmation line per task:

Added: "Buy groceries" (low)
Added: "Call dentist" (medium, due Fri Mar 21)
Added: "Review PR" (low)

Keep it to one line per task. No extra commentary.

Examples

Single task:

todo: schedule haircut

Added: "Schedule haircut" (low)

With priority signal:

remind me to file taxes asap

Added: "File taxes" (high)

Batch:

todo: buy groceries, call dentist by Friday, review PR

Added: "Buy groceries" (low)
Added: "Call dentist" (medium, due Fri Mar 21)
Added: "Review PR" (low)

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.
