Manage a real task list through the external Things 3 CLI on macOS. Use when the user explicitly wants task-app operations rather than reminders, cron automation, or an in-chat checklist.

Use when the task is to inspect or operate a live desktop application, native window, browser accessibility tree, menu, dialog, button, list, toggle, or text input through the built-in computer_use tool. Prefer this for host UI focus, snapshot, click, type, select, toggle, scroll, screenshot, or chat-style message flows. Prefer scenario actions `message|type|select|click|toggle` over generic `act` whenever the user goal is already clear.
Use when the task centers on a workspace .pdf file and needs native PDF reading, creation, filling, or reformatting. Supports read_mode presets for speed vs coverage.
Use when writing or reviewing Golang code in this project. Triggers: database schema design, architecture decisions, high-availability implementation, code review, bug fixing, performance optimization, command execution, goroutine management. This project follows TDD (Test-Driven Development) - always write tests first.
Perform administrative/system operations: provider management, settings, channel/skill/tool toggles, user controls, health/version, and proxy stats. Use for ops/admin tasks, diagnostics, and runtime configuration changes.
Live web interaction skill. Use Browser when the task needs an actual browser session for login, JS-heavy pages, clicking, typing, scrolling, screenshots, or challenge handling.
Use when the task centers on a workspace .docx file and needs native Word-style creation, editing, templating, or validation.

Use the external things binary via blue exec to read and update a real Things 3 task list on macOS.
Install the CLI if needed:
blue exec command='GOBIN=/opt/homebrew/bin go install github.com/ossianhempel/things3-cli/cmd/things@latest'
Sanity-check the install:
blue exec command='things --help'
If database reads fail, grant Full Disk Access to the calling app (for example Terminal or your IDE).
Optional environment:
THINGSDB or --db to point at a specific ThingsData-* folderTHINGS_AUTH_TOKEN to avoid passing --auth-token for update operations| User Intent | Action |
|---|---|
| Read inbox/today/upcoming/search/projects in Things 3 | blue exec command='things ...' |
| Add or update real tasks in the user's Things database | blue exec command='things add ...' / blue exec command='things update ...' |
| User wants a reminder/alert notification | Use reminder, not tasks |
| User wants recurring command automation | Use scheduler, not tasks |
| User only needs an in-chat checklist or plan | Prefer normal chat output or the plan skills, not tasks |

blue tasks builtin.tasks fallback were outdated and have been removed.things3-cli does not currently expose a true delete or trash write command; use the Things UI or mark items completed/canceled instead.
