Manage Things 3 via the `things` CLI on macOS (add/update projects+todos via URL scheme; read/search/list from the local Things database). Use when a user asks OpenClaw to add a task to Things, list inbox/today/upcoming, search tasks, or inspect projects/areas/tags.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Things 3 CLI Use `things` to read your local Things database (inbox/today/search/projects/areas/tags) and to add/update todos via the Things URL scheme. Setup - Install (recommended, Apple Silicon): `GOBIN=/opt/homebrew/bin go install github.com/ossianhempel/things3-cli/cmd/things@latest` - If DB reads fail: grant **Full Disk Access** to the calling app (Terminal for manual runs; `OpenClaw.app` for gateway runs). - Optional: set `THINGSDB` (or pass `--db`) to point at your `ThingsData-*` folder. - Optional: set `THINGS_AUTH_TOKEN` to avoid passing `--auth-token` for update ops. Read-only (DB) - `things inbox --limit 50` - `things today` - `things upcoming` - `things search "query"` - `things projects` / `things areas` / `things tags` Write (URL scheme) - Prefer safe preview: `things --dry-run add "Title"` - Add: `things add "Title" --notes "..." --when today --deadline 2026-01-02` - Bring Things to front: `things --foreground add "Title"` Examples: add a todo - Basic: `things add "Buy milk"` - With notes: `things add "Buy milk" --notes "2% + bananas"` - Into a project/area: `things add "Book flights" --list "Travel"` - Into a project heading: `things add "Pack charger" --list "Tr

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add SafeAI-Lab-X/ClawKeeper --skill things-mac --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From SafeAI-Lab-X/ClawKeeper, a repository with 1,034 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
