taskleef_skill

Overview

This skill integrates with Taskleef.com to manage todos, projects, and kanban boards from a CLI. It supports adding, listing, completing, deleting tasks, organizing work into projects, and manipulating kanban boards for visual workflows. Use it to keep lightweight task workflows in sync with Taskleef via API key authentication.

How this skill works

The CLI issues API requests to Taskleef using an API key supplied in the TASKLEEF_API_KEY environment variable or an auth file. Commands accept partial title matches or ID prefixes, letting you quickly add, show, complete, move, or delete items. Boards, projects, subtasks, and cards are manipulated through dedicated subcommands (project, board, subtask) to reflect changes on Taskleef.

When to use it

• Quickly capture a todo from the terminal with minimal friction
• Organize related tasks under projects for multi-step work
• Manage visual workflows by moving cards on kanban boards
• Inspect, complete, or delete tasks while scripting or automating
• Track subtasks and break down complex tasks

Best practices

• Set TASKLEEF_API_KEY in your environment before use or supply --auth-file for scripts
• Use partial titles or short ID prefixes to avoid copying full UUIDs
• Group related items in projects to keep the inbox focused
• Use quick-add (todo "Task") for capture, then assign to projects or boards
• Use kanban boards for stage-based workflows and move cards rather than duplicating tasks

Example use cases

• Add a quick task: todo "Buy groceries" and later mark it done with todo done groceries
• Create a project and assign tasks: todo project add "Website Redesign" then todo project add-todo Website "Fix login"
• Run daily review script that lists all pending todos and shows kanban board state
• Break a feature into subtasks: todo subtask "Feature A" "Write tests"
• Move a card to Done on a board: todo board move "Feature A" Done
