AgentTodo Skill

A shared task board for humans and AI agents. Manage todos, track progress, and coordinate work through a REST API.

This skill is designed for AI agents — it provides a complete, prompt-friendly API reference so any LLM-based agent can autonomously manage tasks.

2. Store it in your tools config as AGENTTODO_API_KEY

Usage Guidelines

• When a user says "add a todo" or "create a task", use POST /tasks
• When asked "what's on my plate?" or "show tasks", use GET /tasks?status=todo
• Use POST /tasks/next to autonomously claim the highest-priority unclaimed task
• After completing work, mark tasks done with /complete
• Use /log to track progress on long-running tasks
• Use /spawn to break large tasks into subtasks
• Use project to group related tasks together
• Set assigned_agent to your agent name when claiming work
• Use /feedback to report issues or suggest improvements
