TODO List Skill

Collect and display TODO items from daily notes with filtering options.

When to Use

• User says "todo list", "show todos", "open tasks", "what's left", etc.
• Invoked as /todo-list

Workflow

Step 1: Locate Vault

VAULT_DIR="$HOME/repo/github.com/Takayyz/obsidian-vaults/vaults"

Step 2: Determine Date Range

Parse arguments to determine which daily notes to scan:

Argument	Behavior
(none)	Last 7 days
--today	Today only
--days=N	Last N days
--all	Include completed (- [x]) items (combinable with above)

Calculate the date range and glob matching files in $VAULT_DIR/daily/.

Step 3: Collect TODO Items

For each daily note in the date range:

1. Read the file
2. Extract lines between ## TODO and the next ## heading
3. Parse each line as either:
   • - [ ] content (incomplete)
   • - [x] content (complete)
4. Record the date (from filename) and completion status for each item

Skip files that don't exist or have no ## TODO section.

Step 4: Apply Filters

• By default, show only incomplete items (- [ ])
• With --all, show both incomplete and complete items

Step 5: Display Results

Group items by date (newest first). Assign a global sequential index across all dates (starting from 1). Format:

### 2026-01-02
  1. [ ] task A
  2. [ ] task B

### 2026-01-01
  3. [x] task C

• Each item gets a unique index number, continuous across dates
• Ordering: newest date first, then file order within each date
• Incomplete items shown as [ ]
• Complete items shown as [x] (only when --all)
• Dates with no matching items are omitted
• These indices can be used directly with /todo-update (e.g., /todo-update 1,3)

Step 6: Summary

Print a concise summary line:

Summary: incomplete 3 / complete 1 / total 4 (7 days)

Rules

• Read-only. Never modify daily notes.
• Skip daily notes with missing or malformed ## TODO section silently.
• If no TODO items found, display "No TODO items found in the specified range."
• Preserve the original text of each TODO item exactly as written.
