# clickup

This skill hands your agent the ClickUp API: read a task, list comments, create and assign work. Handy when a task link lands in the chat.

## What it does

Everything goes through one script, `query.mjs`, called as `node .claude/skills/clickup/query.mjs <command> [options]`. There are over twenty commands — `get`, `comments`, `comment`, `status`, `tasks`, `create`, `my-tasks`, `search`, `assign`, `due`, `priority`, `subtask`, `move`, `link`, `checklist`, `delete-comment`, `watch`, `tag`, `description`. Both a full URL like `https://app.clickup.com/t/{task_id}` and a bare ID such as `86a1b2c3d` are accepted.

Setup takes one file. Copy `.env-example` to `.env` inside the skill folder and paste your ClickUp Personal API Token, the one starting with `pk_`, which you generate under Settings > Apps > API Token. Team ID and User ID are detected and cached on the first call. Skip the token and nothing runs.

Set `CLICKUP_DEFAULT_LIST_ID` in the same `.env` if you want to create tasks without naming a list each time. `--json` returns the raw API response, `--subtasks` pulls subtasks into `get`, and `--me` narrows a task list to your own assignments. ClickUp's API has no way to add watchers, so the `watch` command posts a comment with an @mention instead.
