Manage todo.txt tasks using topydo CLI. Add, list, complete, prioritize, tag, and organize tasks with dependencies, due dates, recurrence, and projects. Use for any task management, todo lists, or when the user mentions tasks, todos, or todo.txt. Requires Python 3 and pip. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

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.
topydo is a powerful CLI for managing tasks in the todo.txt format. It supports dependencies, due dates, start dates, recurrence, priorities, projects, and contexts.

brew install topydo
pip3 install topydo With optional features: pip3 install 'topydo[columns,prompt,ical]'
sudo apt install python3-pip && pip3 install topydo
Config file locations (in order of precedence): topydo.conf or .topydo (current directory) ~/.topydo or ~/.config/topydo/config /etc/topydo.conf Example ~/.topydo: [topydo] filename = ~/todo.txt archive_filename = ~/done.txt colors = 1 identifiers = text [add] auto_creation_date = 1 [sort] sort_string = desc:importance,due,desc:priority ignore_weekends = 1
Basic task: topydo add "Buy groceries" With priority (A is highest): topydo add "(A) Urgent task" With project and context: topydo add "Write report +ProjectX @office" With due date (absolute): topydo add "Submit proposal due:2025-01-15" With due date (relative): topydo add "Call mom due:tomorrow" With due date (weekday): topydo add "Weekly review due:fri" With start/threshold date: topydo add "Future task t:2025-02-01" With recurrence (weekly): topydo add "Water plants due:sat rec:1w" With strict recurrence (always on 1st of month): topydo add "Pay rent due:2025-02-01 rec:+1m" With dependency (must complete before task 1): topydo add "Write tests before:1" As subtask of task 1: topydo add "Review code partof:1"
List all relevant tasks: topydo ls Include hidden/blocked tasks: topydo ls -x Filter by project: topydo ls +ProjectX Filter by context: topydo ls @office Filter by priority: topydo ls "(A)" Filter by priority range: topydo ls "(>C)" Filter tasks due today: topydo ls due:today Filter overdue tasks: topydo ls "due:<today" Filter tasks due by Friday: topydo ls "due:<=fri" Combine multiple filters: topydo ls +ProjectX @office due:today Exclude context: topydo ls -- -@waiting Sort by priority: topydo ls -s priority Sort descending by due date, then priority: topydo ls -s desc:due,priority Group by project: topydo ls -g project Limit to 5 results: topydo ls -n 5 Custom output format: topydo ls -F "%I %p %s %{due:}d" Output as JSON: topydo ls -f json
Complete task by ID: topydo do 1 Complete multiple tasks: topydo do 1 2 3 Complete all tasks due today: topydo do -e due:today Complete with custom date: topydo do -d yesterday 1
Set priority A: topydo pri 1 A Set priority for multiple tasks: topydo pri 1 2 3 B Remove priority: topydo depri 1
Set due date: topydo tag 1 due tomorrow Star a task: topydo tag 1 star 1 Remove a tag: topydo tag 1 due Set custom tag with relative date: topydo tag -r 1 review 2w
Append text to task: topydo append 1 "additional notes" Append due date: topydo append 1 due:friday Edit task in text editor: topydo edit 1 Edit all tasks in project: topydo edit -e +ProjectX
Delete by ID: topydo del 1 Delete multiple: topydo del 1 2 3 Delete by expression: topydo del -e completed:today
Add dependency (task 2 depends on task 1): topydo dep add 2 to 1 Task 2 is part of task 1: topydo dep add 2 partof 1 List what depends on task 1: topydo dep ls 1 to List what task 1 depends on: topydo dep ls to 1 Remove dependency: topydo dep rm 2 to 1 Visualize dependencies (requires graphviz): topydo dep dot 1 | dot -Tpng -o deps.png
Postpone by 1 week: topydo postpone 1 1w Postpone by 3 days: topydo postpone 1 3d Postpone including start date: topydo postpone -s 1 1w
Sort the todo.txt file: topydo sort Revert last command: topydo revert Show revert history: topydo revert ls List all projects: topydo lsprj List all contexts: topydo lscon Archive completed tasks: topydo archive
today, tomorrow, yesterday Weekdays: mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat, sun Periods: 1d (days), 2w (weeks), 3m (months), 1y (years) Business days: 5b (excludes weekends)
priority, due, creation, completed importance, importance-avg project, context, text, length Prefix with desc: for descending. Example: desc:importance,due
Use a clean, human-readable format to present results to the user Enable stable text IDs: set identifiers = text in config Star important tasks: add star:1 tag Hidden tags by default: id, p, ical Importance = priority + due date proximity + star status
