This skill integrates Things 3, the premium task manager for macOS, with Claude Code using the things3-cli. It allows Claude to programmatically read from your local Things database—including the Inbox, Today view, and upcoming schedules—and create or update todos using the Things URL scheme. It is an essential tool for developers who want to automate their personal workflow, capture action items during coding sessions, or query their project structure without leaving the terminal environment.
