Our review
This skill provides a Trello-like task board for AI agents to track work items across lists and priorities.
Strengths
- Persistent state across sessions
- Structured JSON output for automated processing
- Filtering by list, priority, label, or text
- Clear default workflow (backlog → todo → in_progress → done)
Limitations
- No graphical user interface
- Limited feature set compared to full project management tools
- Depends on local file storage
When an AI agent needs to manage complex multi-step tasks and track progress over multiple sessions.
For simple single-step tasks or when visual task management is required.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only uses board-specific tools that manage task cards within its own persistent storage. There are no destructive, exfiltrating, or obfuscated actions, and no access to external systems or arbitrary command execution.

Typical Workflow
Starting Work
board_list({}) // See current state
board_add({ title: "Task 1" }) // Add new card
board_move({ id, list: "todo" }) // Move to todo
During Work
board_move({ id, list: "in_progress" }) // Start working
board_update({ id, labels: ["bug"] }) // Add context
board_move({ id, list: "done" }) // Complete
Filtering
board_list({ list: "in_progress" }) // Current work only
board_list({ priority: "high" }) // High priority
board_list({ labels: ["bug"] }) // Bugs only
board_list({ search: "auth" }) // Search text
Output Format
All tools return structured JSON:
{
"board": "Board",
"lists": [{ "id": "todo", "name": "To Do", "cardCount": 3 }],
"cards": [{ "id": "...", "title": "...", "list": "...", "priority": "..." }],
"total": 3
}
