Sync Things Tasks

Bridge thinking (Obsidian) and doing (Things 3) using the things CLI.

Core Concepts

• Thinking vs. Doing: Use Obsidian for drafting ideas and planning. Use Things 3 for actionable todos with dates/deadlines.
• CLI-First: Use the things command to add tasks without leaving the chat.
• Contextual Tasks: When summarizing notes, proactively identify action items and offer to send them to Things.

Auth Token

The CLI requires an auth token for update operations. The user should have THINGS_AUTH_TOKEN set in their shell profile.
