Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
CLI tool at scripts/rtm.py for full RTM task management. Stdlib only — no pip dependencies.
Get API credentials at https://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/api/keys.rtm Set env vars RTM_API_KEY and RTM_SHARED_SECRET (via OpenClaw config skills.entries.rtm.env) Run scripts/rtm.py auth — opens a URL, authorize, press Enter. Token saves to ~/.rtm_token Sub-agents: Env vars are not inherited. Pass them explicitly: RTM_API_KEY=... RTM_SHARED_SECRET=... python3 scripts/rtm.py <command>
Env vars: RTM_API_KEY and RTM_SHARED_SECRET are required at runtime. Configure via OpenClaw skill env, not hardcoded. Auth token: Stored as plain text at ~/.rtm_token after interactive auth. This file grants full access to the linked RTM account. Protect it accordingly — restrict file permissions (chmod 600) or remove after use if not needed persistently. Network: All API calls go to api.rememberthemilk.com and www.rememberthemilk.com only. No other outbound connections. Permissions: The auth flow requests delete permission (RTM's highest tier) to support task deletion. Use a dedicated API key with minimum needed scope if preferred.
