PROMPT

Set up Todoist integration for me. I want to: - Add tasks by just telling you ("remind me to call mom tomorrow") - Check what's due today or this week - Mark tasks complete when I'm done - Organize by project and priority My Todoist API token is: [your-token]

How It Works

Talk to your todo list like a human. "Remind me to call the dentist tomorrow"

becomes a task. "What's on my work project?" lists your tasks. Simple.

What You Get

  • Add tasks with natural language due dates
  • List by project, priority, or search query
  • Complete, reopen, move, and delete tasks
  • Manage projects and labels
  • Add comments to tasks

Setup Steps

  1. Install todoist-ts-cli globally (npm install -g todoist-ts-cli)
  2. Get API token from Todoist Settings → Integrations → Developer
  3. Run `todoist auth ` or set TODOIST_API_TOKEN

Tips

  • Natural dates work: "tomorrow", "next monday", "jan 15"
  • Priority 1 is highest, 4 is lowest
  • Filter syntax: p1, @label, #project, overdue
  • Use --order top or --order N to position tasks
  • `todoist today` is the default command (shows today + overdue)
