# 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: ```bash ./scripts/todo.sh <action> [args...] ``` ### 1. Add Reminder ```bash # 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 ```bash # 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 ```bash # Mark complete (supports fuzzy matching) ./scripts/todo.sh complete "Buy milk" # Unmark complete ./scripts/todo.sh uncomplete "Buy milk" ``` ### 4. Delete Reminder ```bash # Delete reminder (supports fuzzy matching) ./scripts/todo.sh delete "Buy milk" ``` ⚠️ Deletion is irreversible. Use with caution. ### 5. Search Reminders ```bash # Search by keyword in title or content ./scripts/todo.sh search "meeting" ``` ### 6. Manage Lists ```bash # View all lists with stats ./scripts/todo.sh lists # Create new list ./scripts/todo.sh create-list "Study Plan" ``` ### 7. Today's Due Reminders ```bash # View today's incomplete due reminders ./scripts/todo.sh today ``` ## Full Example Workflow ```bash # 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
