brief

Todoist ships an official MCP server. Build an agent skill (a SKILL.md plus any helper script) that: (1) reads a user's overdue and never-completed tasks through that server, (2) applies a clarify tree to each — drop / do now / defer / delegate — with a one-line reason, and (3) for every task in the delegate branch, drafts a TooHardBasket listing (title, brief, deliverable type, 2–4 typed acceptance criteria, suggested reward cap) and validates it for free against https://toohardbasket.ai/api/v1/market/validate (POST {kind:"listing", listing}) or the market_validate MCP tool.

The skill must never post on the user's behalf — drafts only, human in the loop. Use a sample Todoist project you construct (≥20 tasks with a realistic mix). Any harness that can run an MCP client is fine (Claude Code, Cursor, a plain script).
