✅ Vikunja Fast Skill

Use Vikunja as the source of truth for tasks and completions, and interact with it from Clawdbot.

Setup

You can provide credentials either via environment variables or via Clawdbot’s skills config.

Option A: Environment variables

Set these environment variables in the same environment where the gateway runs:

export VIKUNJA_URL="https://vikunja.xyz"

# Recommended: use a JWT (starts with "eyJ")
export VIKUNJA_TOKEN="<jwt>"

# Alternative: login with username/password (the helper CLI will request a JWT)
export VIKUNJA_USERNAME="<username>"
export VIKUNJA_PASSWORD="<password>"

Option B: Clawdbot skills config (recommended for the agent)

Edit ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json:

{
  skills: {
    entries: {
      "vikunja-fast": {
        enabled: true,
        env: {
          VIKUNJA_URL: "https://vikunja.xyz",
          VIKUNJA_TOKEN: "<jwt>"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Notes:

• VIKUNJA_URL can be the base URL; the helper normalizes to /api/v1.
• Vikunja auth expects a JWT bearer token for most API calls (Authorization: Bearer <jwt>).
• If you only have a non-JWT token (often starts with tk_...), use /login to obtain a JWT.

Quick checks

Login (get a JWT)

curl -fsS -X POST "$VIKUNJA_URL/login" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"username":"YOUR_USERNAME","password":"YOUR_PASSWORD","long_token":true}' | jq

Who am I? (requires JWT)

curl -fsS "$VIKUNJA_URL/user" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VIKUNJA_TOKEN" | jq

List projects

curl -fsS "$VIKUNJA_URL/projects" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VIKUNJA_TOKEN" | jq '.[] | {id, title}'

Commands

This skill ships with a tiny helper CLI:

• {baseDir}/vikunja.sh

Examples:

# Overdue across all projects
{baseDir}/vikunja.sh overdue

# Due today
{baseDir}/vikunja.sh due-today

# Arbitrary filter (Vikunja filter syntax)
{baseDir}/vikunja.sh list --filter 'done = false && due_date < now'

# Show / complete a task
{baseDir}/vikunja.sh show 123
{baseDir}/vikunja.sh done 123

Notes:

• Output formatting:
  • Each task should be formated as: <EMOJI> <DUE_DATE> - #<ID> <TASK>
  • Emoji comes from the project title when it starts with one; otherwise uses 🔨
  • Due dates are rendered as Mon/D (time + year removed)
• This skill uses GET /tasks/all to fetch tasks across all projects

Mark task done

TASK_ID=123

curl -fsS -X POST "$VIKUNJA_URL/tasks/$TASK_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VIKUNJA_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"done": true}' | jq
