About This Skill
What it does
The file-todos skill allows AI agents to read and process todo lists from files. It can extract tasks, deadlines, and priorities directly from text file formats. This enables the agent to manage personal or team tasks without requiring manual entry into a dedicated task management system.
When to use it
- Managing project backlog: Have your agent parse a
tasks.txtfile containing a list of outstanding development work. - Personal task organization: Use the skill to process a daily todo list stored in a simple text file format.
- Automated reporting: Extract and summarize tasks from a shared "open issues" file for team updates.
- Importing legacy lists: Convert older, unstructured todo lists into a structured format that an agent can utilize.
Key capabilities
- Reads todo lists from files.
- Extracts task descriptions.
- Identifies deadlines (if present in the file).
- Recognizes priorities (if indicated within the file).
Example prompts
- "Read my
daily_todos.txtfile and remind me of any tasks due today." - "Summarize all open items from the
project_backlog.mdfile, sorted by priority." - “Can you extract all tasks with deadlines from
team_tasks.txt?”
Tips & gotchas
The skill relies on a consistent format within the todo list files; inconsistencies may lead to inaccurate parsing. Ensure your files use clear delimiters (e.g., bullet points, numbers) for task separation and prioritization.
