things-mac
The things-mac skill manages Things 3 tasks on macOS using the `things` CLI tool, enabling read access to the local database for listing inbox, today, upcoming items, searching tasks, and viewing projects and areas. It also supports creating and modifying tasks via the Things URL scheme, accepting parameters like notes, due dates, projects, headings, tags, and checklist items. Use this skill when users request task management operations with Things 3.

# Things 3 CLI Use `things` to read your local Things database (inbox/today/search/projects/areas/tags) and to add/update todos via the Things URL scheme. Setup - Install (recommended, Apple Silicon): `GOBIN=/opt/homebrew/bin go install github.com/ossianhempel/things3-cli/cmd/things@latest` - If DB reads fail: grant **Full Disk Access** to the calling app (Terminal for manual runs; `Moltis.app` for gateway runs). - Optional: set `THINGSDB` (or pass `--db`) to point at your `ThingsData-*` folder. - Optional: set `THINGS_AUTH_TOKEN` to avoid passing `--auth-token` for update ops. Read-only (DB) - `things inbox --limit 50` - `things today` - `things upcoming` - `things search "query"` - `things projects` / `things areas` / `things tags` Write (URL scheme) - Prefer safe preview: `things --dry-run add "Title"` - Add: `things add "Title" --notes "..." --when today --deadline 2026-01-02` - Bring Things to front: `things --foreground add "Title"` Examples: add a todo - Basic: `things add "Buy milk"` - With notes: `things add "Buy milk" --notes "2% + bananas"` - Into a project/area: `things add "Book flights" --list "Travel"` - Into a project heading: `things add "Pack charger" --list "Travel" --heading "Before"` - With tags: `things add "Call dentist" --tags "health,phone"` - Checklist: `things add "Trip prep" --checklist-item "Passport" --checklist-item "Tickets"` - From STDIN (multi-line => title + notes): - `cat <<'EOF' | things add -` - `Title line` - `Notes line 1` - `Notes line 2` - `EOF` Examples: modify a todo (needs auth token) - First: get the ID (UUID column): `things search "milk" --limit 5` - Auth: set `THINGS_AUTH_TOKEN` or pass `--auth-token <TOKEN>` - Title: `things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> "New title"` - Notes replace: `things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --notes "New notes"` - Notes append/prepend: `things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --append-notes "..."` / `--prepend-notes "..."` - Move lists: `things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --list "Travel" --heading "Before"` - Tags replace/add: `things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --tags "a,b"` / `things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --add-tags "a,b"` - Complete/cancel (soft-delete-ish): `things update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --completed` / `--canceled` - Safe preview: `things --dry-run update --id <UUID> --auth-token <TOKEN> --completed` Delete a todo? - Not supported by `things3-cli` right now (no “delete/move-to-trash” write command; `things trash` is read-only listing). - Options: use Things UI to delete/trash, or mark as `--completed` / `--canceled` via `things update`. Notes - macOS-only. - `--dry-run` prints the URL and does not open Things.
