What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Trello adapter for the @llodev/pm-tasks-* family. Use when the user mentions Trello, asks to "create card", "publish to Trello", "post to Trello", "publish", or uses --publish; OR for CRUD on existing cards (check checklist item, close card, change due-date, add member, comment); OR when invoked autonomously by another agent with [autonomous] / --auto sentinel. Modes: paste-ready (no MCP needed), MCP publish (via atlassian-trello-mcp), autonomous (write-through with allowlist). Implements 7 CRUD verbs (task.create, task.move, checklist.check, task.close, task.due-date.set, task.assignee.add, task.comment.add) from skills/pm-tasks-core/references/contract.md. Requires @llodev/pm-tasks-core installed.

pm-tasks-trello
Adapter for Trello within the @llodev/pm-tasks-* family. Use the core skill's extraction phases, then apply Trello formatting and optionally publish/operate via the atlassian-trello-mcp MCP server.
Routing
| Mode | Trigger | Path |
|---|---|---|
| Paste-only | "format as Trello card" without MCP intent | Phase 3 (core) → Phase 4 (this skill, format only) → output paste blocks |
| MCP publish | "publish to Trello", "create on Trello", "--publish" | Phase 3 → Phase 4 → Phase 5 (publish via MCP) |
| Autonomous | [autonomous] or --auto in prompt OR LLODEV_PM_TASKS_AUTONOMOUS=1 | Phase 3 → Phase 4 → Phase 5b (write-through, no preview) |
| CRUD ops | "check item N on task X", "close card Y", "add Alice to task Z", "comment on task X" | Phase 6 (operations, direct verb dispatch) |
| Plan-execution | Plan file path in prompt (docs/plans/*.md), OR --plan-exec flag, OR plan reference paired with .trello.json | Phase 7 (discover existing cards via discoverPlanTasks; calling agent dispatches per-task verbs at task boundaries) |
Phase 4 — Trello formatting
MANDATORY — READ ENTIRE FILE references/format.md before producing any Trello-specific output. Then apply anti-patterns/tools.md § Trello.
Phase 5 — MCP publish
Prerequisites: atlassian-trello-mcp configured (see references/mcp-config.md). Env vars TRELLO_API_KEY + TRELLO_TOKEN in shell.
Strict order: 5.1 config discovery → 5.2.5 resolve labels/member → 5.2 preview & approval → 5.3 publish via MCP → 5.4 error handling.
Full sequence in references/publish.md.
Attribution (opt-in)
Before calling the MCP create tool, read config.attribution. If enabled === true, prefix the comment with the commentPrefix returned by getAttribution() and append the descriptionFooter to the end of description. In autonomous mode ([autonomous] sentinel), the commentPrefix automatically becomes the autonomousCommentPrefix. See references/attribution.md in pm-tasks-core (added in v1.2.0).
Phase 5b — Autonomous
Skip 5.2 preview & approval. Apply autonomous-mode contract from skills/pm-tasks-core/references/autonomous-mode.md. Tool-specific overlay in references/autonomous.md. Audit log entries per skills/pm-tasks-core/references/audit-log-format.md.
Phase 6 — CRUD operations (existing cards)
For verbs other than task.create, jump directly to the operation. MANDATORY — READ ENTIRE FILE references/operations.md which lists verb → MCP tool mapping and <task-ref> resolution for Trello URLs/IDs. For task.comment.add, apply attribution prefix if config.attribution.enabled === true (see Phase 5 § Attribution).
Temporal handling (create-time due, start on WIP move, and the overwrite-due-and-footer close) is documented in references/operations.md § Temporal handling.
Phase 7 — Plan-execution mode
When the calling agent passes a plan reference (a path to a markdown plan file, a plan slug, or an explicit list of expected task titles), this skill loads .trello.json via requireConfig and uses discoverPlanTasks (from @llodev/pm-tasks-core) to triage which tasks in the plan already exist as cards in scope. The skill returns the triage report { found, missing, ambiguous } — the calling agent decides how to act on each bucket (create missing cards via Phase 4 + 5; disambiguate by picking the right ambiguous card; proceed with existing).
The skill does not assume any particular implementation strategy. It does not drive the calling agent's task loop, does not depend on any specific orchestration framework, and does not require any markup beyond what is already documented for task.create and the autonomous-mode contract. When the calling agent finishes a task and asks the skill to record progress, it invokes the standard verbs (task.move, checklist.check, task.comment.add, task.close) directly — the same path used by Phase 5b autonomous mode.
Full contract: triggers, discovery semantics, ConfigRequiredError handling, failure modes table, and the hook contract for Phase 5 are documented in skills/pm-tasks-core/references/plan-execution.md (added in v1.9.0).
Standalone fallback
If @llodev/pm-tasks-core is not installed: ask the user for minimum input (title + checklist items) and produce a paste-ready Trello card from this content alone. Quality is degraded — no scope/audience/fidelity inference. Print: "Install @llodev/pm-tasks-core for the full flow."
Config
Lookup order: <git-root>/.trello.json → ~/.config/llodev/pm-tasks/trello.json → abort with init instructions. Schema: schemas/config.json. Secrets NEVER in JSON — only env vars / keychain.
Init
npx @llodev/pm-tasks-trello init
See skills/pm-tasks-core/references/init-ux.md for the shared flow.
Pass --doctor to run workspace health checks before prompting:
npx @llodev/pm-tasks-trello init --doctor
Runs core checks (C-FS-1..3, C-CFG-1..4) plus Trello-specific probes (C-TRL-1..3, gated on TRELLO_API_KEY/TRELLO_TOKEN). Full check matrix in skills/pm-tasks-core/references/doctor.md.
