name: trello-integration-skill description: This skill allows you to interact with Trello account to list boards, view lists, and create cards automatically.

Trello Integration Skill

The Trello Integration Skill provides a seamless connection between the AI agent and the user's Trello account. It empowers the agent to autonomously fetch existing boards and lists, and create new task cards on specific boards based on user prompts.

Features

• Fetch Boards: Retrieve a list of all Trello boards the user has access to, including their Name, ID, and URL.
• Fetch Lists: Retrieve all lists (columns like "To Do", "In Progress", "Done") belonging to a specific board.
• Create Cards: Automatically create new cards with titles and descriptions in designated lists.

Setup & Prerequisites

To use this skill locally, you need to provide your Trello Developer API credentials.

1. Generate your credentials at the Trello Developer Portal (Power-Ups Admin).
2. Create an API Key.
3. Generate a Secret Token (Read/Write access).
4. Add these credentials to the project's root .env file:

# Trello Integration
TRELLO_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
TRELLO_TOKEN=your_token_here

Usage & Architecture

The skill utilizes standalone Node.js scripts located in the .agent/skills/trello_skill/scripts/ directory.

1. List All Boards

Fetches all boards for the authenticated user to determine the correct target boardId.

Execution:

node .agent/skills/trello_skill/scripts/list_boards.js

2. List Columns (Lists) in a Board

Fetches the lists inside a specific board to find the exact listId (e.g., retrieving the ID for the "To Do" column).

Execution:

node .agent/skills/trello_skill/scripts/list_lists.js <boardId>

3. Create a New Card

Pushes a new card to the specified list.

Execution:

node .agent/skills/trello_skill/scripts/create_card.js <listId> "<Card Title>" "<Optional Description>"

(Always wrap the card title and description in double quotes to prevent bash argument splitting).

AI Agent Workflow

When the user requests to manage or add a task to Trello, follow these steps autonomously:

1. Identify the Target: If the target listId is unknown, first run list_boards.js to identify the correct boardId, then execute list_lists.js <boardId> to retrieve the corresponding listId (e.g., for "To Do").
2. Execute Command: Run the create_card.js <listId> "Task Title" "Task Description" script.
3. Report Back: Confirm the successful creation with the user and provide the direct URL to the newly created Trello card. FILE:create_card.js const path = require('path'); require('dotenv').config({ path: path.join(__dirname, '../../../../.env') });
