name: ClickUp Task Workflow description: This skill should be used when the user mentions "ClickUp task", "CU-xxx", "task workflow", "clickup integration", or when working with task plugin commands (/task:start, /task:done, /task:merge, /task:status, /task:new). Provides workflow patterns for ClickUp task management integrated with kas. version: 0.1.0

ClickUp Task Workflow

Overview

This skill provides workflow patterns for managing ClickUp tasks integrated with kas workflow commands. The core principle: delegate all ClickUp API calls to the clickup-task-agent to keep the main conversation context clean.

Core Principle

NEVER call ClickUp MCP tools directly in main context.

All ClickUp operations delegate to the clickup-task-agent subagent which returns concise summaries. This prevents verbose API responses from polluting the conversation.

Command Mapping

Detection Triggers

Activate this skill when detecting:

Task References

• URLs: https://app.clickup.com/t/...
• Task IDs: CU-xxx, #xxx, task xxx
• Work phrases: "work on", "implement", "fix task", "start on"

Task Creation

• Creation phrases: "create task", "new feature", "log bug", "file issue"

Subagent Delegation Pattern

When needing ClickUp data, spawn the clickup-task-agent:

CopyTask tool with subagent_type="task:clickup-task-agent":

"[Operation description]
1. [MCP tool call 1]
2. [MCP tool call 2]

Return ONLY: [concise format]"

The agent uses haiku model for speed and returns formatted summaries.

Git Conventions

• Branch naming: feat/CU-<id>-<slug> or fix/CU-<id>-<slug>
• Commit messages: Include CU-<task-id> for ClickUp linking
• PR titles: Include [CU-xxx] prefix

Error Handling

Partial failures: If kas succeeds but ClickUp API fails, warn user and provide manual update command. Don't fail the entire operation for ClickUp sync issues.
