Todoist Due-Today Email Drafts

Config — read before starting

Read ../config/user.json (resolves to ~/executive-assistant-skills/config/user.json). Extract and use throughout:

• primary_email, work_email — Gmail accounts
• whatsapp — for notification delivery
• workspace — absolute path to OpenClaw workspace
• signature — email signature

Debug Logging (MANDATORY)

Read ../config/DEBUG_LOGGING.md for the full convention. Use python3 {user.workspace}/scripts/skill_log.py todoist-due-drafts <level> "<message>" ['<details>'] at every key step. Log BEFORE and AFTER every external call (todoist-cli, gog, mcporter). On any error, log the full command and stderr before continuing.

Steps

1. Get today's due tasks from Todoist

source {user.workspace}/.env
todoist-cli today --json

Also check overdue tasks:

todoist-cli list --filter "overdue" --json

2. Identify email/ping tasks

Filter for tasks whose content matches outreach intent:

• Keywords: ping, email, follow up, follow-up, send, reach out, text, message, intro, connect, check in, nudge, reply, respond, draft
• Pattern: any task that implies sending a communication to a specific person

Skip tasks that are clearly NOT outreach (e.g. "review doc", "read report", "build proposal").

3. For each outreach task, draft the email

Read and follow ~/executive-assistant-skills/email-drafting/SKILL.md for all drafting rules.

For each task:

1. Identify the recipient: Extract person/company name from task content + description

2. Pull meeting context (if available): If the task description references a meeting name, date, or was created by the action-items cron (check for Granola citation links or meeting metadata in description), retrieve the transcript via Granola/Grain. If no meeting reference exists in the task, skip directly to step 3 — draft from email history and task content alone.
