Turns tech-newsletter articles into TickTick todos with list and tag mapping

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 8.0/10
Tested: Aug 7, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)

Fed it a four-article Swift weekly excerpt: the bundled add_articles.py parsed all four into ticktick:// add_task URLs with the correct list, tag and a date-stamped description. Piping the same newsletter in raw, without the skill's reformatting step, produced list="Recent picks" and empty descriptions on every task, so the taxonomy in the skill body is what actually does the work, not the script. The no-skill baseline could only emit a markdown checklist for manual copy-paste, because TickTick's Open API needs a registered OAuth app. Real friction: it is macOS-only (it shells out to `open`), needs the TickTick desktop app, and its seven hardcoded list names are one iOS developer's personal setup — TickTick cannot create lists from a URL, so anything unmatched silently lands in Inbox. The final write could not be confirmed here since TickTick is not installed.

What Article2TickTick does

Converts articles recommended in technical newsletters (or a single shared link) into TickTick todos, mapping markdown H2 headings to TickTick lists and H3 headings to tags via the ticktick:// x-callback URL scheme. Triggers when you paste a weekly-newsletter markdown, ask to add articles to TickTick, or share one article URL to save for later. Ships a Python script with a --dry-run preview and a single-task mode.
