Todo Boss

Capture and track tasks with owner and due date, mark done, list open or delegated tasks, and get daily reports via Telegram commands.

Purpose

Task capture + delegation tracking + daily remaining-work report for Telegram. NO web browsing, NO web search, NO external lookups.

Data store

Append-only log: ~/.openclaw/workspace/data/todo/tasks.jsonl Derived state cache (optional): ~/.openclaw/workspace/data/todo/state.json

Commands (Telegram)

• /todo : create a task draft from free text
• /todo_done : mark done
• /todo_list : list open tasks (grouped by owner, then due date)
• /todo_delegated : list tasks I assigned to others that are still open (include history)
• /todo_report : daily report (same as list, but concise)

Extraction rules (very important)

When user sends /todo :

1. Extract: title, owner, due_date (YYYY-MM-DD or natural language), priority (optional), notes.
2. If owner OR due_date is missing/ambiguous:
   • Ask a follow-up question in Telegram.
   • Store as status="draft" with missing_fields=[...].
   • Do NOT finalize as "open" until both are confirmed.
3. If owner/due_date are present:
   • Create status="open"
4. Always echo back a confirmation summary: id, title, owner, due_date, status.

Default assumptions

• If owner missing: ask "누가 담당할까요? (본인/팀원 이름)"
• If due_date missing: ask "납기는 언제로 할까요?"
• Timezone: Asia/Seoul.

History

Any update must append an event to tasks.jsonl:

• created / finalized / updated / done / reopened Include: timestamp, actor(user), previous values, new values.

Hard constraints

• Never call web tools.
• Never require API keys.
• Keep replies short and action-oriented.

Execution

When receiving /todo:

• Call: ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/todo-boss/add_task.sh "<full user text after /todo>"
• Reply to user with the script output.

Follow-up policy (strict)

Only ask these two questions if missing:

1. "담당자(owner)는 누구로 할까요?"
2. "납기(due)는 언제로 할까요?"

Do NOT ask about content details, background, meeting context, or email structure. This skill is a task tracker, not a planning assistant.

If the user asks for planning or drafting, answer briefly but still capture the task by asking owner/due if missing.
