Is the Todoist CLI skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from Doist/todoist-cli. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Todoist CLI SkillProof Score?

8.0/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 5/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Todoist CLI?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Todoist CLI with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 8.0/10
Tested: Jul 31, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 7e24111

Installed @doist/todoist-cli into a temp HOME (npm exit 0, `td --version` 3.1.0) and confirmed the skill's documented `td task` subcommands match the CLI's real --help exactly, and that `td today` fails cleanly without a token asking for `td auth login`. Could not measure output vs baseline: every real read/write needs OAuth login to a live Todoist account (only `quickadd --dry-run` runs unauthenticated, just echoing text), so no comparable artifact was producible. SKILL.md is accurate and security-conscious (untrusted-output warnings, token-leak and attachment-Read cautions); frontmatter says 3.1.1 vs npm latest 3.1.0 (repo slightly ahead). Trigger phrasings judged — SHOULD fire: "Add 'Buy groceries' to my Todoist for tomorrow", "What's on my Todoist today?", "Create a Todoist project Q3 Planning and add three tasks"; should NOT: "Add a TODO comment in this Python function", "Remind me to call the dentist" (no Todoist context) — 5/5 correct.

What Todoist CLI does

Teaches Claude to drive the official `td` CLI (@doist/todoist-cli) to view, create, update, complete, and organize Todoist tasks, projects, labels, filters, sections, comments, reminders, and workspaces. Triggers when the user mentions Todoist, tasks, inbox, today, upcoming, projects, labels, or filters, or asks to add, complete, or reorganize their tasks. Requires the td CLI installed and authenticated via `td auth login`.

How to install Todoist CLI

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Doist/todoist-cli.git /tmp/todoist-cli-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/todoist-cli-src/skills/todoist-cli ~/.claude/skills/todoist-cli
# Runtime dependency (skill wraps an external CLI, not bundled):
#   npm install -g @doist/todoist-cli   # provides the `td` binary
# Authenticate before use (OAuth in browser, needs a Todoist account):
#   td auth login
# Verify: td doctor

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
