ticktick_skill

Overview

This skill manages TickTick tasks and projects for JMO, letting you capture, list, update, complete, and delete tasks quickly. It supports quick captures (inbox), project management, priority and due-date changes, notes and tags, and formatted task listings suitable for JMO's review. Timezone behavior and default inbox handling are applied automatically.

How this skill works

The skill runs TickTick commands under the hood to create, update, list, complete, and delete tasks and projects. If no project is specified, new tasks go to the Inbox. Dates are handled in the configured timezone and the skill formats task lists with priority-first sorting and clear, compact output suitable for review. It hides completed tasks by default unless explicitly requested.

When to use it

• Add or capture a quick task like “remind me to …” or “don’t let me forget …”.
• List pending tasks in the Inbox or a specific project for review.
• Update a task’s title, due date, priority, notes, or tags.
• Mark a task complete or undo completion.
• Create or delete a project/list.
• See what’s due today or overdue.

Best practices

• When capturing quickly, omit the project to let the task land in Inbox for triage.
• Include explicit ISO-like due timestamps (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss) to avoid ambiguity.
• Use priority values none|low|med|high to ensure consistent sorting.
• Run project and task listing commands to copy IDs before updating or deleting.
• Ask for a formatted list when reviewing tasks to get sorted, human-friendly output.

Example use cases

• User: “Remind me to call the accountant tomorrow at 10.” -> skill: add task with due date and high/med priority if requested.
• User: “Show me Inbox tasks” -> skill: list pending Inbox tasks formatted and sorted by priority and due date.
• User: “Mark task <id> as complete” -> skill: complete the specified task (Inbox project implied if not provided).
• User: “Create a project called Tennis” -> skill: add a new project/list and return its ID.
• User: “Update task <id> to due next Friday and set priority high” -> skill: modify due date and priority accordingly.
