## What it does

This skill lets agents manage Google Tasks using Membrane CLI commands. It handles everyday operations such as creating task lists, modifying tasks, deleting items, or clearing finished entries. When standard actions fall short, the agent can send raw HTTP requests through `membrane request`.

Setup requires the `@membranehq/cli` package and a Membrane account. The free tier works. Login completes in a browser or via `membrane login complete <code>` in headless environments. Without an active Membrane connection, the skill will fail immediately.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add membranedev/application-skills --skill google-tasks -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/google-tasks/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/google-tasks/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add membranedev/application-skills --skill google-tasks -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/google-tasks/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add membranedev/application-skills --skill google-tasks -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/google-tasks/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install membranedev/application-skills google-tasks
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/google-tasks/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add membranedev/application-skills --skill google-tasks -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/membranedev/application-skills --path skills/google-tasks
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/google-tasks/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add membranedev/application-skills --skill google-tasks -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/membranedev/application-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/google-tasks/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- create new tasks in specific Google Tasks lists
- clear completed to-do items
- fetch and inspect active task lists
- reorder tasks within an existing list

## Example prompts
- List all tasks from my Google Tasks to-do list
- Create a new task named 'Review pull request' in Google Tasks
- Clear all completed tasks from my primary list

# Google Tasks

Google Tasks is a simple task management app that allows users to create and organize to-do lists. It's used by individuals and teams to track tasks, set due dates, and manage their daily activities. The app integrates with other Google services like Gmail and Calendar.

Official docs: https://developers.google.com/tasks

## Google Tasks Overview

- **Task Lists**
  - **Tasks**
- **Settings**

Use action names and parameters as needed.

## Working with Google Tasks

This skill uses the Membrane CLI to interact with Google Tasks. Membrane handles authentication and credentials refresh automatically — so you can focus on the integration logic rather than auth plumbing.

### Install the CLI

Install the Membrane CLI so you can run `membrane` from the terminal:

```bash
npm install -g @membranehq/cli@latest
```

### Authentication

```bash
membrane login --tenant --clientName=<agentType>
```

This will either open a browser for authentication or print an authorization URL to the console, depending on whether interactive mode is available.

**Headless environments:** The command will print an authorization URL. Ask the user to open it in a browser. When they see a code after completing login, finish with:

```bash
membrane login complete <code>
```

Add `--json` to any command for machine-readable JSON output.

**Agent Types** : claude, openclaw, codex, warp, windsurf, etc. Those will be used to adjust tooling to be used best with your harness

### Connecting to Google Tasks

Use `membrane connection ensure` to find or create a connection by app URL or domain:

```bash
membrane connection ensure "https://developers.google.com/tasks" --json
```
The user completes authentication in the browser. The output contains the new connection id.

This is the fastest way to get a connection. The URL is normalized to a domain and matched against known apps. If no app is found, one is created and a connector is built automatically.

If the returned connection has `state: "READY"`, skip to **Step 2**.

#### 1b. Wait for the connection to be ready

If the connection is in `BUILDING` state, poll until it's ready:

```bash
npx @membranehq/cli connection get <id> --wait --json
```

The `--wait` flag long-polls (up to `--timeout` seconds, default 30) until the state changes. Keep polling until `state` is no longer `BUILDING`.

The resulting state tells you what to do next:

- **`READY`** — connection is fully set up. Skip to **Step 2**.
- **`CLIENT_ACTION_REQUIRED`** — the user or agent needs to do something. The `clientAction` object describes the required action:
  - `clientAction.type` — the kind of action needed:
    - `"connect"` — user needs to authenticate (OAuth, API key, etc.). This covers initial authentication and re-authentication for disconnected connections.
