First, summarize what it does, its dependencies, license status if identifiable, and any risks. Show the exact files you propose to add under .agents/skills/todoist/. Do not write files or run scripts until I approve.

After I approve, install the complete skill folder, including required referenced files, into that project location. Verify it is discoverable, then tell me its actual invocation name and how to use it. Do not claim it is installed until you have verified it.

  • 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")
  • 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
