name: trello-manager description: Manage Trello boards, lists, and cards. Use this skill when the user wants to view, create, or update their Trello tasks, boards, or project status.

Trello Manager

Interact with Trello via python3 scripts/trello_api.py <command> [args].

Commands

Workflow

1. Start with list_boards to get board IDs
2. Use list_lists <board_id> to get list IDs
3. Use list_cards <list_id> or create_card as needed

Adding Cards with Checklists

When creating cards that need checklists (e.g., recipes with shopping lists):

1. Create the card: create_card <list_id> "Card Name" "Description"
2. Create a checklist: create_checklist <card_id> "Checklist Name"
3. Add items: add_checkitem <checklist_id> "Item name"

Example (recipe card):

Copy# Create recipe card
python3 scripts/trello_api.py create_card <list_id> "Recipe Name" "Ingredients and steps..."
# Add shopping list checklist
python3 scripts/trello_api.py create_checklist <card_id> "Shopping List"
# Add ingredients as checklist items
python3 scripts/trello_api.py add_checkitem <checklist_id> "Ingredient 1"
python3 scripts/trello_api.py add_checkitem <checklist_id> "Ingredient 2"

Output Format

All output is optimized for minimal context:

• Lists show: Name [id] per line
• Cards show: Name [id] - description_preview
• Labels show: Name [id] (color)
• Checklists show items with [x] or [ ] status
• Mutations return: Action message: new_id

Notes

• Requires TRELLO_API_KEY and TRELLO_API_TOKEN in environment
• IDs are always shown in [brackets] for easy extraction
