todo

Personal execution engine for tasks, projects, reminders, commitments, follow-ups, and next actions. Use whenever the user mentions something they need to do, remember, plan, follow up on, prioritize, or make progress on. Also use when the user feels overwhelmed, brain-fogged, unsure what to do next, or needs to offload mental strain. This skill captures natural language, turns vague intentions into structured action, tracks momentum, and surfaces the most human-friendly next step. Local-only storage.

Todo: Offload the weight. Keep the momentum.

Core Philosophy

Capture pressure before it turns into anxiety.
Surface momentum, not accumulated guilt.
Recommend one clear next step, not an overwhelming list.
Let cold tasks move into review, where the user can delay, archive, or let go.

Runtime Requirements

Python 3 must be available as python3
No external packages required

Storage

All data is stored locally only under:

~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/todo/items.json
~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/todo/stats.json
~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/todo/archive.json

No external sync. No cloud storage. No third-party task APIs.

Item Types

task: A concrete action.
project: A multi-step outcome that should be broken into next actions.
commitment: A promise or obligation to someone else.
follow_up: Something that needs to be checked on, nudged, or revisited.
reminder: A lightweight remember-later item.

Item Traits

tiny: 2-5 minute action with low friction.
hot: Fresh, recently captured, or recently touched.
cold: Stale item that should move into review unless urgent.
blocked: Cannot move forward yet.
waiting: Pending someone else.

Key Workflows

Capture: add_item.py --title "..." with inferred metadata.
What Next: what_next.py returns 1 Top Pick and 2 Backups, each with a humanized prefix and short reason.
Daily Sync: daily_sync.py summarizes completed work and mental weight released.
Weekly Review: weekly_review.py revives, delays, archives, or lets go of cold items.
