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:

Feature	Command
Add reminder	todo add
List reminders	todo list
Mark complete	todo complete
Unmark complete	todo uncomplete
Delete reminder	todo delete
Search reminders	todo search
View lists	todo lists
Create list	todo create-list
Today's reminders	todo today

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
