# Send Todoist to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
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.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
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.

## Documentation

### Todoist

Access the Todoist API v1 with managed OAuth authentication. Manage tasks, projects, sections, labels, and comments.

### Quick Start

# List all tasks
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/todoist/api/v1/tasks')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

### Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/todoist/api/v1/{resource}

The gateway proxies requests to api.todoist.com/api/v1 and automatically injects your OAuth token.

### Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

### Getting Your API Key

Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
Go to maton.ai/settings
Copy your API key

### Connection Management

Manage your Todoist OAuth connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

### List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=todoist&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

### Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'todoist'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

### Get Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Response:

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "todoist",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

### Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

### Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Todoist connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/todoist/api/v1/tasks')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

### Priority Values

### Due Date Formats

Use ONE of these formats per request:

due_string - Natural language: "tomorrow", "next Monday at 3pm", "every week"
due_date - Date only: "2026-02-15"
due_datetime - Full datetime: "2026-02-15T14:00:00Z"

### JavaScript

// Create a task
const response = await fetch('https://gateway.maton.ai/todoist/api/v1/tasks', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': \`Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}\`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    content: 'Review pull request',
    priority: 3,
    due_string: 'today at 5pm'
  })
});
const task = await response.json();

### Python

import os
import requests

# Create a task
response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/todoist/api/v1/tasks',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    json={
        'content': 'Review pull request',
        'priority': 3,
        'due_string': 'today at 5pm'
    }
)
task = response.json()

### Notes

Task IDs and Project IDs are strings, not integers
Priority 4 is the highest (urgent), priority 1 is normal
Use only one due date format per request (due_string, due_date, or due_datetime)
Closing a recurring task schedules the next occurrence
The Inbox project cannot be deleted
IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments

### Error Handling

StatusMeaning204Success (no content) - for close, reopen, delete operations400Invalid request or missing Todoist connection401Invalid or missing Maton API key404Resource not found429Rate limited4xx/5xxPassthrough error from Todoist API

### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

### Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

Ensure your URL path starts with todoist. For example:

Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/todoist/api/v1/tasks
Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/api/v1/tasks
