Trello Board Manager

The problem

Managing Trello workflows manually creates friction when tasks are generated by other tools or code. Keeping boards synced with external events, assigning members, and tracking card status shouldn't require human context-switching.

What it does

• Searches boards and retrieves specific list IDs for precise card placement.
• Creates cards with descriptions, due dates, labels, and member assignments via CLI.
• Moves cards across lists to automate Kanban state transitions.
• Attaches local files or external URLs to card activity feeds.
• Registers webhooks to pipe Trello events back into your application.

Frameworks & tools

Trello REST API, trellish Python CLI, and standard Shell environments.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

General LLMs often hallucinate Trello API endpoints or struggle with the specific 24-character hex ID requirements. This skill enforces a strict procedural workflow for credential management, board discovery, and ID retrieval, ensuring every API call actually succeeds.

Use cases

• Convert form submissions or bug reports directly into Trello cards.
• Auto-label and move cards based on external build or QA statuses.
• Attach generated reports or build artifacts to relevant project cards.
• Sync internal task lists with Trello boards for team visibility.

Known limitations

Requires an active internet connection for REST API calls. Not intended for bulk migrations involving thousands of cards.
