neomano-todo（新马诺托多）

neomano-todo

An improved personal TODO system that uses SQLite as the backend (not text files).

Why SQLite:

• Structured fields (priority/status/dates/tags)
• Fast filtering and sorting
• Durable local storage with zero external dependencies

Features

• SQLite persistence (local file)
• Priorities 1–3

- 1 = high, 2 = medium, 3 = low

• Tags (many-to-many)
• Dates

- due_at (when it should be done) - remind_at (when to notify)

• Statuses

- open, done, blocked, expired, forgotten

• Reminder metadata for OpenClaw cron

- Store remind_at + cron_job_id so reminders can be created/updated/cancelled by the agent

• Backlog control

- Detect “stale candidates” based on last_touched_at and priority thresholds

Configuration (environment variables)

Recommended: set in ~/.openclaw/.env on the gateway machine.

Storage

• NEOMANO_TODO_DB_PATH

- Path to the SQLite DB file. - Default used by the helper script: ~/.openclaw/workspace/data/neomano-todo.sqlite3

Reminder delivery defaults

Used by the agent when scheduling a reminder (cron delivery).

• NEOMANO_TODO_DEFAULT_CHANNEL

- Example: whatsapp, telegram, etc.

• NEOMANO_TODO_DEFAULT_TARGET

- Example: +593987233203 for WhatsApp.

• NEOMANO_TODO_TZ

- Example: America/Guayaquil

Data model (SQLite)

The helper script auto-creates tables on first run.

Main fields stored per task:

• title, notes
• priority (1–3)
• status (open|done|blocked|expired|forgotten)
• created_at, updated_at, last_touched_at, completed_at
• due_at, remind_at
• cron_job_id (optional, set after creating a cron job)
• tags via tags + task_tags

Helper script

Use the bundled deterministic helper script:

• skills/neomano-todo/scripts/todo.py

It outputs JSON to make it easy for an agent to parse.

Commands

Add a task:

python3 skills/neomano-todo/scripts/todo.py add "Install Starlink antenna" --priority 2 --tags "starlink,truck" --notes "This weekend"

Get a task:

python3 skills/neomano-todo/scripts/todo.py get 12

List tasks:

python3 skills/neomano-todo/scripts/todo.py list --status open --order priority
python3 skills/neomano-todo/scripts/todo.py list --status open --order due
python3 skills/neomano-todo/scripts/todo.py list --tag sales --order priority

Complete / reopen:

python3 skills/neomano-todo/scripts/todo.py done 12
python3 skills/neomano-todo/scripts/todo.py reopen 12

Change status (blocked/expired/forgotten/etc):

python3 skills/neomano-todo/scripts/todo.py set-status 12 blocked
python3 skills/neomano-todo/scripts/todo.py set-status 12 forgotten

Change priority:

python3 skills/neomano-todo/scripts/todo.py set-priority 12 1

Update tags:

python3 skills/neomano-todo/scripts/todo.py set-tags 12 "sales,followup"

Update due/reminder timestamps:

python3 skills/neomano-todo/scripts/todo.py set-dates 12 --due-at "2026-03-29T09:00:00-05:00" --remind-at "2026-03-29T08:30:00-05:00"

Store cron job id (after scheduling a reminder with OpenClaw cron):

python3 skills/neomano-todo/scripts/todo.py set-cron-job 12 <cron_job_id>

Delete:

python3 skills/neomano-todo/scripts/todo.py delete 12

Reminder scheduling (OpenClaw cron)

The script stores reminder timestamps; the agent is responsible for scheduling.

Workflow: 1) If remind_at is set and status is open, create/update a cron job scheduled at remind_at. 2) After creating the cron job, store its id in the task using set-cron-job. 3) When the task becomes terminal (done, expired, forgotten), cancel the cron job (if any).

Backlog control: stale candidates

Policy:

• P3 not touched for 30 days → review candidate
• P2 not touched for 45 days → review candidate
• P1 is never auto-forgotten

List stale candidates:

python3 skills/neomano-todo/scripts/todo.py stale-candidates

Response style

• Keep replies short.
• For WhatsApp: use bullets (no tables).
• When confirming changes: include task id, title, priority, and status.
