Triage and prioritize the Things Today list. Use when the user wants to review, prioritize, or reorder their Today list.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Today List Triage

Group, prioritize, defer, and reorder the Things Today list.

Every step runs through the `things` MCP server's tools. When those tools are absent, tailgate is unreachable and there is nothing to triage against. Say so rather than falling back to the CLI scripts, which reach Things only from the machine running it.

## Query

`list_todos` with `list: "today"`. Filter to open items.

Each todo carries `id`, `name`, `creationDate`, `dueDate`, `activationDate`, and a notes preview. `get_todo` serves one todo's full notes when a decision needs them.

## Repeating Task Detection

Apply the midnight heuristic: a task is a repeating instance when `creationDate` ends with `T00:00:00`, midnight local time in ISO. Manually created tasks carry non-zero hours, minutes, or seconds.

Things refuses to reschedule a repeating todo. A `when` update is a no-op on one: the write reports success and the todo stays where it was. That covers Defer, Drop, and the reschedule `reorder_todos` runs on. Keep every repeating instance out of all three, whether or not it is overdue.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bendrucker/claude/things:triage@sha256:1deac46f03eb7029

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.40bb846, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
