ms-todo-oauth

A fully-tested Microsoft To Do command-line client for managing tasks and lists via Microsoft Graph API.

Security and OAuth App Credentials

This skill uses OAuth authorization-code login through Microsoft Graph. The script has built-in fallback Azure app credentials, but agents should prefer caller-provided credentials when available. Treat any committed client secret as public and rotate or revoke it before distributing this skill for sensitive accounts.

Credential precedence:

1. Global CLI options: --client-id, --client-secret, --tenant-id
2. Environment variables: MS_TODO_CLIENT_ID, MS_TODO_CLIENT_SECRET, MS_TODO_TENANT_ID
3. Built-in fallback values in scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py

Recommended handling:

1. Register your own app at portal.azure.com: Microsoft Entra ID > App registrations > New registration.
2. For personal Microsoft accounts only, select "Personal Microsoft accounts only". For broader use, select the account type that matches your target users.
3. Add Microsoft Graph delegated permission Tasks.ReadWrite; add Tasks.ReadWrite.Shared only if shared-list access is needed.
4. Generate a client secret under Certificates & secrets.
5. Set MS_TODO_CLIENT_ID and MS_TODO_CLIENT_SECRET, or pass --client-id and --client-secret before the subcommand.
6. If the existing secret has been published, rotate or revoke it in Azure.

Do not print or paste client secrets in user-facing responses or logs.

   • Token cache: ~/.mstodo_token_cache.json (persists across sessions, auto-refreshed)

Installation & Setup

First-Time Setup

Before using this skill for the first time, dependencies must be installed. This repository does not include pyproject.toml or uv.lock, so do not use uv sync unless those files are added later.

# Navigate to skill directory
cd <path-to-ms-todo-oauth>

# Install dependencies into the active Python/Conda environment
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

# Optional: set your own Azure app credentials for the current PowerShell session
$env:MS_TODO_CLIENT_ID = "<your-client-id>"
$env:MS_TODO_CLIENT_SECRET = "<your-client-secret>"
$env:MS_TODO_TENANT_ID = "consumers"

# Optional uv one-shot without a project file
uv run --with-requirements requirements.txt python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py --help

Dependencies:

• msal (Microsoft Authentication Library) - Official Microsoft OAuth library
• requests - HTTP client for API calls
• Specified in requirements.txt

Environment Verification

After installation, verify the setup:

# Check if Python can import dependencies and load the script
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py --help

# Expected: Command help text should be displayed

Troubleshooting:

• If Python not found, install Python 3.9 or higher or activate the environment where dependencies were installed.
• If script fails with import errors, run python -m pip install -r requirements.txt in the same environment used to run the script.

Testing (Optional but Recommended)

Verify all functionality works correctly:

# Run comprehensive automated test suite (33 tests)
python scripts/test_ms_todo_oauth.py

# Run only non-destructive CLI/configuration checks
python scripts/test_ms_todo_oauth.py --preflight-only

# Expected: All tests pass (100% pass rate)

See Testing section for details.

Security Notes

• Uses official Microsoft Graph API via Microsoft's msal library
• All code is plain Python (.py files), readable and auditable
• Tokens stored locally in ~/.mstodo_token_cache.json
• All API calls go directly to Microsoft endpoints (graph.microsoft.com)
• OAuth2 standard authentication flow
• No third-party services involved

Command Reference

All commands follow this pattern:

python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py [GLOBAL_OPTIONS] <command> [COMMAND_OPTIONS]

Global Options

⚠️ Common mistake: Global options MUST come before the subcommand.

• ✅ python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py -v lists
• ✅ python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py --debug add "Task"
• ✅ python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py --client-id "<id>" --client-secret "<secret>" lists
• ❌ python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py lists -v

Authentication

Authentication uses OAuth2 authorization code flow, designed for both interactive and automated environments.

login get — Get OAuth2 authorization URL

python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py login get

Output example:

======================================================================
🔐 OAuth2 Authorization Required
======================================================================

Please visit the following URL to authorize the application:

  https://login.microsoftonline.com/consumers/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?...

After authorization, you will be redirected to a callback URL.
Copy the `code` parameter from the callback URL and run:

  python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py login verify <authorization_code>

======================================================================

What to do:

1. Open the provided URL in your browser
2. Sign in with your Microsoft account
3. Grant permissions when prompted
4. You'll be redirected to a URL like: http://localhost:8000/callback?code=M.R3_BAY.abc123...
5. If the browser shows that localhost:8000 cannot be reached, that is expected.
6. Copy either the full callback URL or the entire code value after code=.
7. Quote the value in the shell because Microsoft authorization codes can contain punctuation.

Agent behavior: Present the URL to the user and explain they need to:

1. Visit the URL
2. Complete the login
3. Copy the authorization code from the callback URL
4. Provide it to you

login verify — Complete login with authorization code

python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py login verify "<authorization_code_or_callback_url>"

Example:

python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py login verify "M.R3_BAY.abc123def456..."
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py login verify "http://localhost:8000/callback?code=M.R3_BAY.abc123def456..."

Output on success:

✓ Authentication successful!
✓ Login information saved, you will be logged in automatically next time.

Output on failure:

❌ Token acquisition failed
Error: invalid_grant
Description: AADSTS54005: OAuth2 Authorization code was already redeemed...

Exit code: 0 on success, 1 on failure.

Important notes:

• Each authorization code can only be used ONCE
• If verification fails, you need to run login get again to get a new code
• Once successfully logged in, the token is cached and you won't need to login again unless:
  • You run logout
  • You run --reauth
  • The token expires and cannot be auto-refreshed

logout — Clear saved login

python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py logout

Output: ✓ Login information cleared

Only use when the user explicitly asks to switch accounts or clear login data. Under normal circumstances, the token is cached and login is automatic.

List Management

lists — List all task lists

python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py lists
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py -v lists  # with IDs and creation dates

Output example:

📋 Task Lists (3 total):

create-list — Create a new list

python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py create-list "<name>"

Example:

python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py create-list "项目 A"

Output: ✓ List created: 项目 A

delete-list — Delete a list

python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py delete-list "<name>" [-y]

⚠️ This is a destructive operation. Without -y, the command will prompt for confirmation. All tasks in the list will be deleted. Consider asking the user before deleting important lists.

Output: ✓ List deleted: <name>

Exit code: 1 if list not found, 0 on success

Task Operations

add — Add a new task

python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py add "<title>" [options]

# Chinese task with emoji
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py add "🎉 完成项目" -l "任务" -p high

complete — Mark a task as completed

python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py complete "<title>" [-l "<list>"]

Title matching: Requires exact match. If unsure of exact title, use search first.

Output: ✓ Task completed: <title>

Exit code: 1 if task not found, 0 on success

delete — Delete a task

python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py delete "<title>" [-l "<list>"] [-y]

Agent Usage Guidelines

Critical Rules

1. Working directory: Always cd to the directory containing this SKILL.md before running commands.

2. Dependency installation: Before first use or when encountering import errors, run python -m pip install -r requirements.txt to ensure all dependencies are installed.

3. Check authentication first: Before any operation, verify authentication status:

   python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py lists
   

   If this returns "Not logged in" error (exit code 1), initiate the login flow.

4. Task list organization: When adding tasks:

   • First, run lists to see available task lists
   • If user doesn't specify a list, tasks will be added to their default list (usually "Tasks" or "任务")
   • Intelligently categorize tasks into appropriate lists:
     • Work tasks → "Work" list
     • Personal errands → "Personal" or default list
     • Shopping → "Shopping" list
     • Project-specific → Use project name as list
   • Lists will be auto-created if they don't exist
   • Support Chinese list names and Unicode characters

5. Destructive operations: For delete and delete-list:

   • These commands prompt for confirmation by default (blocking behavior)
   • Use -y flag ONLY when:
     • User has explicitly requested to delete without confirmation
     • The deletion intent is unambiguous and confirmed through conversation
   • When in doubt, ask the user for confirmation instead of using -y
   • These operations return exit code 1 on failure (resource not found)

6. Global option placement: -v, --debug, --reauth, --client-id, --client-secret, and --tenant-id must come BEFORE the subcommand:

   • ✅ python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py -v lists
   • ✅ python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py --client-id "<id>" --client-secret "<secret>" lists
   • ❌ python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py lists -v

7. Login flow:

   • Do NOT call login verify until user confirms they've completed browser authentication
   • Each authorization code can only be used once
   • If verify fails, you must run login get again for a new code

8. Error handling:

   • Check exit codes: 0 = success, 1 = failure, 2 = invalid arguments
   • Parse error messages to provide helpful guidance
   • Use --debug flag when troubleshooting API issues

Recommended Workflow for Agents

Step 1: Setup and Authentication Check
---------------------------------------
cd <skill_directory>
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt                                       # Ensure dependencies (first time only)
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py lists          # Test auth & see available lists

If exit code is 1 and output contains "Not logged in":
  a. python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py login get
  b. Present URL to user
  c. Explain: "Visit this URL, login, and copy the 'code' parameter from callback URL"
  d. Wait for user to provide authorization code
  e. python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py login verify "<code>"
  f. Verify success (exit code 0)

Step 2: Task Analysis and List Selection
-----------------------------------------
When user requests to add task(s):
  a. Analyze task context from user's description
  b. Review available lists (from Step 1 output)
  c. Choose appropriate list or use default:
     - Work-related → "Work"
     - Personal errands → "Personal" or default
     - Shopping items → "Shopping"
     - Project-specific → "<ProjectName>"
  d. If list doesn't exist, it will be auto-created

Step 3: Execute Operation
--------------------------
Add task with appropriate options:
  python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py add "Task Title" \
    -l "Work" \
    -p high \
    -d 3 \
    -r 2h \
    -D "Detailed description" \
    -t "tag1,tag2"

Step 4: Verify and Report
--------------------------
Check exit code:
  - 0: Success → Confirm to user
  - 1: Failure → Parse error, provide guidance
  - 2: Invalid args → Fix command syntax

Optionally verify:
  python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py tasks "<list>"  # Show updated list

Task Title Matching Rules

• Exact match required: complete, delete commands
• Partial/fuzzy match supported: detail, search commands
• Case-insensitive: All search operations
• Best practice: Use search first to find exact title, then use it in subsequent commands

Example workflow:

# Find task with fuzzy search
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py search "report"
# Output shows: "Complete Q1 Report"

# Use exact title from search results
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py complete "Complete Q1 Report" -l "Work"

Default List Behavior

• When -l is not specified, operations use the Microsoft To Do default list
• The default list is typically named "Tasks" (English) or "任务" (Chinese)
• To target a specific list, always provide -l "<ListName>"

Example Task Categorization

User request: "Add these tasks: buy milk, finish report, call dentist"

Agent approach:

# First check available lists
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py lists

# Categorize intelligently:
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py add "Buy milk" -l "Shopping"
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py add "Finish report" -l "Work" -p high -d 2
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py add "Call dentist" -l "Personal"
# Or use default list if no specific context: add "Call dentist"

Quick Reference

Common Workflows

Daily task review:

python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py today          # Check today's tasks
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py overdue        # Check overdue tasks
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py -v pending -g  # Review all pending, grouped

Adding various task types:

# Simple task (default list)
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py add "Buy milk"

# Work task with priority and deadline
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py add "Quarterly review" -l "Work" -p high -d 7

# Task with reminder

  -r "2026-03-15 14:30" \
  -D "Discuss Q1 goals and resource allocation" \
  -t "meeting,important,Q1"

# Recurring tasks
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py add "Daily standup" -R daily -l "Work"
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py add "Weekly review" -R weekly -d 7
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py add "Gym" -R weekdays -l "Personal"
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py add "Monthly report" -R monthly -p high

Task completion workflow:

# Search for task
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py search "report"

# Complete using exact title from search results
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py complete "Quarterly review" -l "Work"

Data management:

# Export for backup
python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py export -o "backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).json"

Troubleshooting

Authentication Issues

Problem: ❌ Not logged in

• Solution: Run login get, complete browser flow, then login verify <code>

Problem: ❌ Token acquisition failed: invalid_grant

• Cause: Authorization code already used or expired
• Solution: Run login get again to get a fresh code

Problem: Login worked but now getting "Not logged in" again

• Cause: Token expired and auto-refresh failed
• Solution: Run --reauth to force fresh login:

  python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py --reauth lists
  

Import/Dependency Issues

Problem: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'msal'

• Solution: Install dependencies: python -m pip install -r requirements.txt or pip install -r requirements.txt

Problem: uv: command not found

• Solution: Install uv: pip install uv

API/Network Issues

Problem: Connection timeout or network errors

• Check: Internet connection
• Check: Can you access https://graph.microsoft.com in browser?
• Try: Using --debug flag to see full API request/response

Problem: Unexpected API errors

• Try: Re-authenticate: python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py --reauth lists
• Try: Debug mode: python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py --debug <command>

Task/List Not Found

Problem: ❌ Task not found: <title>

• Solution: Use search to find exact title
• Note: complete and delete require exact title match

Problem: ❌ List not found: <name>

• Solution: Run lists to see exact list names
• Note: List names are case-sensitive

Test Failures

Problem: Tests failing with datetime errors

• Solution: Ensure the current unreleased maintenance fixes are present
• Check: Verify _parse_ms_datetime() helper function exists

Problem: Tests failing with "Not logged in"

• Solution: Authenticate before running tests:

  python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py login get
  # Complete browser flow
  python scripts/ms-todo-oauth.py login verify "<code-or-callback-url>"
  # Then run tests
  python scripts/test_ms_todo_oauth.py
