We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 8 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 0

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Use --order <n> (1-based) or --order top to insert a task at a specific position within a project/section

    line 176
  2. Very specific:

    Use --json for script-friendly output on supported commands

    line 178

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 8 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

todoist collaborators <project-id>  # list collaborator IDs for assignment

Comments

todoist comments <task-id>
todoist comment <task-id> "Note about this task"

Usage Examples

User: "What do I have to do today?"

todoist today

User: "Add 'buy milk' to my tasks"

todoist add "Buy milk" --due "today"

User: "Remind me to call the dentist tomorrow"

todoist add "Call the dentist" --due "tomorrow"

User: "Mark the grocery task as done"

todoist search "grocery"   # Find task ID
todoist done <id>

User: "What's on my work project?"

todoist tasks -p "Work"

User: "Show my high priority tasks"

todoist tasks -f "p1"

User: "Assign this task to Alex"

todoist collaborators <project-id>   # find Alex's collaborator ID
todoist update <id> -a "<collaborator-id>"

User: "Add a hard deadline for this task"

todoist update <id> --deadline "2026-03-05"

User: "Move this into the Q1 section"

todoist move <id> -p "Work" -s "Q1"

Filter Syntax

Todoist supports powerful filter queries:

  • p1, p2, p3, p4 - Priority levels
  • today, tomorrow, overdue
  • @label - Tasks with label
  • #project - Tasks in project
  • search: keyword - Search

Notes

  • Task IDs are shown in task listings
  • Due dates support natural language ("tomorrow", "next monday", "jan 15")
  • Deadlines use explicit dates (YYYY-MM-DD) and can be cleared with --deadline none
  • Priority 1 is highest, 4 is lowest
  • Use --order <n> (1-based) or --order top to insert a task at a specific position within a project/section
  • Assignment needs a collaborator user ID from todoist collaborators <project-id>
  • Use --json for script-friendly output on supported commands

    How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
