The Claude skill
A skill that teaches Claude the right way to use Twos.
What it is, and what it is not
MCP is the connection. It gives an assistant the ability to read and write your things. See MCP.
The skill is the instructions. It tells Claude how Twos actually works: that days are the default destination, that a to-do is the only type that carries over, that bulk operations exist and should be used instead of looping.
Without it, an assistant will use the API correctly but not idiomatically, which usually means creating twenty things one at a time and putting them in the wrong place.
Before you start
The MCP connection set up first. The skill improves how Claude uses it, and does nothing on its own.
Add the connector in Claude, under Settings, then Connectors, using the Twos MCP URL. See MCP.
Where to get it
The skill is a single SKILL.md file that you add to Claude as an Agent Skill. It is published alongside the Twos integrations rather than installed from inside Twos, because it is Claude's configuration rather than ours.
Once the connector is added and the skill is in place, there is nothing to switch on. Claude picks it up on its own.
What it improves
- Writing to the right list rather than always Today
- Using bulk creation instead of one request per item
- Choosing sensible thing types
- Not inventing structure you did not ask for
Tips
- Set up MCP first and use it plainly for a week. You will see the difference the skill makes.
- Be specific either way. "Add these twelve to my grocery list" works. "Organize my lists" does not, with or without the skill.
