To Do List (Mac)

⚠️ System Requirements

This skill is macOS-only, requiring the native Reminders app. It will not work on non-Mac systems.

Feature Overview

This skill bridges macOS Reminders via AppleScript, supporting full reminder lifecycle management:

Usage

All operations are executed via the scripts/todo.sh script:

./scripts/todo.sh <action> [args...]

1. Add Reminder

# Basic usage
./scripts/todo.sh add "title" "notes" "date" "list" "priority" "recur"

# Example: Simple reminder
./scripts/todo.sh add "Buy milk" "" "" "" 0 ""

# Example: With due date
./scripts/todo.sh add "Submit report" "Q4 summary" "2025-02-10 14:00" "" 1 ""

# Example: Add to specific list
./scripts/todo.sh add "Buy eggs" "Buy 12" "" "Shopping" 5 ""

# Example: High priority + list + date
./scripts/todo.sh add "Important meeting" "Client call" "2025-02-05 10:00" "Work" 1 ""

Priority levels:

• 0 = No priority
• 1 = High (🔴)
• 5 = Medium (🟡)
• 9 = Low (🔵)

2. List Reminders

# List incomplete reminders from default list
./scripts/todo.sh list

# List from specific list
./scripts/todo.sh list "Shopping"

# Include completed reminders
./scripts/todo.sh list "" true

# List all from specific list (including completed)
./scripts/todo.sh list "Work" true

3. Mark Complete/Uncomplete

# Mark complete (supports fuzzy matching)
./scripts/todo.sh complete "Buy milk"

# Unmark complete
./scripts/todo.sh uncomplete "Buy milk"

4. Delete Reminder

# Delete reminder (supports fuzzy matching)
./scripts/todo.sh delete "Buy milk"

⚠️ Deletion is irreversible. Use with caution.

5. Search Reminders

# Search by keyword in title or content
./scripts/todo.sh search "meeting"

6. Manage Lists

# View all lists with stats
./scripts/todo.sh lists

# Create new list
./scripts/todo.sh create-list "Study Plan"

7. Today's Due Reminders

# View today's incomplete due reminders
./scripts/todo.sh today

Full Example Workflow

# 1. Create a work list
./scripts/todo.sh create-list "Work"

# 2. Add work tasks
./scripts/todo.sh add "Finish Q4 report" "Compile data" "2025-02-05 17:00" "Work" 1 ""
./scripts/todo.sh add "Reply to client email" "" "" "Work" 5 ""
./scripts/todo.sh add "Team weekly" "Prepare slides" "2025-02-06 10:00" "Work" 1 ""

# 3. View work list
./scripts/todo.sh list "Work"

# 4. Complete a task
./scripts/todo.sh complete "Reply to client email"

# 5. Check today's todos
./scripts/todo.sh today

User Interaction Tips

When users want to manage todos:

1. Clarify intent - Ask what they want to do (add, view, complete, etc.)
2. Offer shortcuts - For common actions like "remind me to...", directly call add
3. Show results - Display operation results and current list status
4. Support fuzzy matching - complete/delete/search all support fuzzy matching

Notes

1. Date format - Supports natural formats like "2025-02-05", "Feb 5, 2025", "tomorrow"
2. Fuzzy matching - complete/delete/search use contains matching, no need for full titles
3. Permissions - macOS may request permission to control Reminders on first run, click Allow
4. Sync - Changes sync to iCloud and appear on other Apple devices
5. Recurring reminders - Due to AppleScript limitations, complex recurring settings should be configured manually in the app
