kaitodo_skill

Overview

This skill manages Kai's personal task queue and coordinates which topic to work on when Claude usage is available. It provides simple slash commands to add, list, start, complete, and remove tasks stored in a single markdown file. The interface is optimized for quick capture and predictable task lifecycle transitions.

How this skill works

The skill reads and updates a markdown task file in the user's documents folder, parsing and formatting tasks with short IDs, dates, priorities, and optional skill tags. Commands let you add a topic (auto-generates an ID and infers priority), list queued tasks, move the top-priority item into In Progress, mark tasks done, or remove tasks entirely. Each action returns a concise confirmation and status counts.

When to use it

• Capture a topic quickly when you think of it so it’s queued for later work
• Start the next highest-priority task when Claude sessions are available
• Get a clear snapshot of all queued work and priorities
• Mark tasks complete after finishing a topic work session
• Remove irrelevant or duplicate tasks from the queue

Best practices

• Keep task titles short and actionable (verb + object)
• Include keywords like urgent/asap or when you can to help priority inference
• Add a relevant skill name if a specific capability should be used
• Add brief notes or context to speed up later work sessions
• Run /kai-todo list before /kai-todo next to confirm priorities

Example use cases

• Capture research, coding, or admin topics quickly with /kai-todo add <topic>
• Review pending items and priorities with /kai-todo list before starting a session
• Begin the highest-priority queued task with /kai-todo next to move it into In Progress
• Mark a finished task with /kai-todo done <id> to archive progress to Completed
• Remove spam or obsolete entries using /kai-todo remove <id>
