> Ready-made Things (AppleScript) playbooks for AI agents: find and reconcile tasks in Things 3, triage your Things 3 Inbox with AI, check your Things projects and areas for problems. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Using the Things 3 connector safely](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/things-applescript/skills/essentials.md): Shows how an AI assistant reads your Things 3 tasks on a Mac, picks the right list or search, and asks before it adds or changes anything.
- [Find and reconcile tasks in Things 3](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/things-applescript/skills/find-and-reconcile-tasks-with-things.md): Locates a Things 3 task you cannot remember the location of, searching open items, the logbook and the trash, then confirms the match before proposing any change. It asks before changing anything.
- [Triage your Things 3 Inbox with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/things-applescript/skills/inbox-triage-with-things.md): Works through your Things 3 Inbox, groups captured items, flags missing dates and projects, and proposes where each one should go. It asks before changing anything, one batch at a time.
- [Check your Things projects and areas for problems](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/things-applescript/skills/project-health-check-with-things.md): Audits every Things 3 project and area for stalled work, missing next actions, orphan todos and tag clutter, then reports findings ranked by severity. It only reads and never changes your data.
- [Weekly review for Things 3](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/things-applescript/skills/weekly-review-with-things.md): Reads your completed work and open lists in Things 3, flags stalled and overdue items, and proposes a short order for next week. It changes nothing until you approve.

### What is a Things (AppleScript) agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Things (AppleScript) skill describes one job, which Things (AppleScript) tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

### Do the Things (AppleScript) skills change anything on their own?

1 of the 5 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Things (AppleScript).

### Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Things (AppleScript); elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the Things (AppleScript) MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Things (AppleScript) MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Things (AppleScript) MCP setup guide covers every client.
