Overview

This skill provides comprehensive CRUD operations for Reclaim.ai tasks with a safety-first approach. All write operations (create, update, complete, delete) require explicit user confirmation before execution.

Features

• Create tasks with flexible options (priority, duration, dates, time schemes, splitting)
• Update tasks to change any task property
• List and filter tasks (active, completed, overdue)
• Complete tasks (marks as ARCHIVED)
• Delete tasks permanently
• Query time schemes to see available scheduling windows
• Confirmation workflow for all write operations to prevent accidental changes

Installation

Install from the Claude Code plugin marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add benjaminjackson/reclaim-skills
/plugin install reclaim-tasks@reclaim-skills

Or browse and install via the /plugin menu.

Prerequisites:

1. Reclaim.ai account - Sign up at reclaim.ai
2. Reclaim CLI:

   gem install reclaim
   

3. Verify CLI installation:

   reclaim --help
   

Usage

The skill activates automatically when you mention tasks, Reclaim, or scheduling. You don't need to explicitly invoke it.

Quick Examples

List tasks:

Show me my active Reclaim tasks

Create a task:

Create a Reclaim task called "Write proposal" due Friday, P1 priority, 3 hours

Update a task:

Update task abc123 to P2 priority and change due date to next Monday

Complete a task:

Mark task abc123 as complete

Confirmation Workflow

For all write operations (create, update, complete, delete), Claude will:

1. Parse your request
2. Show you the exact command that will be executed
3. Ask for confirmation using a dialog
4. Execute only after you approve

Read operations (list, get, list-schemes) execute immediately without confirmation.

Skill Documentation

The skill includes three documentation files:

• SKILL.md - Quick reference and overview
• EXAMPLES.md - Comprehensive examples for all workflows
• REFERENCE.md - Complete option and command reference

Claude will progressively load these as needed to answer your questions.
