Remember The Milk (RTM) Skill for OpenClaw

This skill integrates Remember The Milk with OpenClaw, allowing you to manage your daily tasks directly from the command line.

Installation (CLI Usage)

This skill can automatically be loaded by OpenClaw. However, if you would like to use the rtm command directly in your Mac's terminal (or allow LLM agents to use it as a shell command), you can install it globally via npm:

npm link

Obtaining API Credentials

Before using this skill, you need to obtain an API Key and a Shared Secret from Remember The Milk:

1. Go to the Remember The Milk API Keys page.
2. Log in with your Remember The Milk account if prompted.
3. Apply for a new API Key by registering your application.
4. Once created, you will receive an API Key and a Shared Secret.
5. Once you have your credentials, you must save them securely so the bot doesn't lose them. Choose one of the following methods:

Method A: Using the config command (Recommended)

Run this command in your terminal:

rtm config <your-api-key> <your-shared-secret>

This saves the credentials safely to ~/.rtm-credentials.json ensuring they persist across terminal restarts.

Method B: Using a .env file

Create a file named .env in this skill's folder (you can use .env.example as a template) and add your keys:

RTM_API_KEY="your-api-key"
RTM_SHARED_SECRET="your-shared-secret"

IMPORTANT Do NOT edit index.js to embed your API key/secret directly into the source files. Using one of the methods above ensures your credentials remain secure and recognizable by the bot.

Setup and Authorization

Before you can use the commands to manage your tasks, you need to authorize the skill with your Remember The Milk account.

NOTE When you authorize this application, an authentication token will be saved locally to ~/.rtm-token.json in plaintext. Keep this file secure on trusted devices, and delete it if you uninstall the skill.

1. Start Authorization:

   rtm auth

This command will provide you with an authorization URL. Open this URL in your web browser and authorize the application.

1. Save Token:

After authorizing in the browser, run the following command with the frob provided.

   rtm token <frob>

This will save your authentication token locally (~/.rtm-token.json) so you only need to do this once.

Available Commands

Once authorized, you can use the following commands to interact with your tasks.

List Tasks

List your tasks. By default, this only fetches incomplete tasks to keep the response fast and clean:

rtm list

You can explicitly ask for completed tasks (up to 100 recent ones), or all tasks:

rtm list completed  # Fetches up to 100 recently completed tasks
rtm list all        # Fetches absolutely all tasks

This will fetch and display the specified tasks along with their properties:

• Completion status (✅ or ⬜️)
• Persistent Task IDs (task_id)
• Lists (categories)
• Priorities and due dates
• Tags and notes

*The Task ID (e.g., 8573921) is a permanent identifier used for completing or modifying tasks.*

Add a Task

Create a new task:

rtm add <task name>

Example: rtm add Buy groceries

Add a Note

Add a note to an existing task using its task_id:

rtm note <task_id> <note text>

Example: rtm note 8573921 Make sure to check the expiry dates

Complete a Task

Mark a specific task as completed using its task_id (obtainable via rtm list):

rtm complete <task_id>

Example: rtm complete 8573921

Modify Task Properties

You can modify task properties using the following commands (all require the task_id from rtm list):

• Due Date: rtm due <task_id> <date string> (Leave date empty to delete the due date)

- Example: rtm due 8573921 tomorrow - Delete due: rtm due 8573921

• Start Date: rtm start <task_id> <date string>

- Example: rtm start 8573921 next week

• Priority: rtm priority <task_id> <1|2|3|N> (N is for none)

- Example: rtm priority 8573921 2

• Postpone: rtm postpone <task_id> (Postpones the task's due date by 1 day)

- Example: rtm postpone 8573921

Delete a Task

Delete a specific task using its task_id:

rtm delete <task_id>

Example: rtm delete 8573921
