topydo

topydo extends your AI assistant with the ability to manage todo.txt tasks using topydo CLI. Add, list, complete, prioritize, tag, and organize tasks with dependencies, due dates, recurrence, and projects. Use for any task management, todo lists, or when the user mentions tasks, todos, or todo.txt. Requires Python 3 and pip. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly — and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using topydo as its underlying capability.

topydo works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install topydo once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.

To install topydo, copy the skill folder to `~/.claude/skills/topydo/` for use across all your projects, or `.claude/skills/topydo/` for a single project. Restart Claude and the skill is immediately active — invoke it with `/topydo` or just describe your goal and the AI will pick it up automatically.

topydo has been installed 2,637 times, making it one of the more actively used skills in the Product Manager category. The install rate suggests it solves a real, recurring need rather than a niche edge case. The source code is open on GitHub — you can inspect it, contribute fixes, or fork it to adapt the skill for your specific setup. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
