What this skill does
# Sync Things Tasks Bridge thinking (Obsidian) and doing (Things 3) using the `things` CLI. ## Core Concepts - **Thinking vs. Doing**: Use Obsidian for drafting ideas and planning. Use Things 3 for actionable todos with dates/deadlines. - **CLI-First**: Use the `things` command to add tasks without leaving the chat. - **Contextual Tasks**: When summarizing notes, proactively identify action items and offer to send them to Things. ## Auth Token The CLI requires an auth token for update operations. The user should have `THINGS_AUTH_TOKEN` set in their shell profile. ## Common Workflows ### Adding Tasks from Notes ```bash # Add to Today with Obsidian link things add "Follow up with [Name]" --notes "Context: [Note Title](obsidian://open?vault=MyVault&file=Path%2FTo%2FNote)" --when today ``` ### Project Task Extraction When working on project notes, extract action items: ```bash things add "Draft initial spec" --list "Project Name" --notes "Reference: [Project](obsidian://open?vault=MyVault&file=...)" ``` ### Reviewing Tasks ```bash things today # What's on today things areas # Existing Areas things projects # Existing Projects things show "Area Name" # Contents of Area things tasks --project "Project Name" # Tasks in project things search "query" # Search for existing tasks ``` ## Integration Principles - **Discovery First**: Use `things areas` and `things projects` before creating new containers - **Obsidian URIs**: Include clickable Obsidian links in Things notes: `[Note](obsidian://open?vault=MyVault&file=URL_ENCODED_PATH)` - **Dry Run First**: Use `things --dry-run add "..."` for complex tasks - **Things as Truth**: Things is the source of truth for "doing"; don't necessarily update Obsidian when tasks complete
