File contents

todo-boss

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 :

Extract: title, owner, due_date (YYYY-MM-DD or natural language), priority (optional), notes.
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.
If owner/due_date are present:
- Create status="open"
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:

"담당자(owner)는 누구로 할까요?"
"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.
