Our review
Fetches cards from a specific Trello list and returns them as a structured array and a markdown view.
Strengths
- Single-list fetch by ID is straightforward
- Optional filtering by last activity date
- Two markdown rendering formats (compact and detailed)
- Cards sorted by most recent activity
Limitations
- Requires the list ID to be known beforehand
- Does not handle multiple lists or entire boards
- The 'since' filter is inclusive, may need adjustment for strict past filtering
Use this skill to get a formatted snapshot of a specific Trello list, for example in daily reports or progress tracking.
Avoid this skill when you need to traverse multiple lists or boards; instead use a resolution skill like 'trello-board-resolver'.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only uses the allowed mcp__trello__get_cards tool to fetch data from Trello. It performs no destructive actions, does not make external network calls, and does not execute arbitrary code. Inputs are validated to only affect the fetch operation, and there is no risk of data exfiltration or system harm.

Examples
Fetch the cards from Trello list ID '5f3c...' and show them in compact markdown format.Retrieve the cards from Trello list 'abc123' that have been active since '2025-03-01T00:00:00Z' and display them in detailed markdown, labeling the list as 'Today'.name: trello-list-snapshot
description: >
Fetch the cards in a single Trello list (optionally filtered by activity
date with since) and return them as both a structured array and a
markdown-formatted view. Use this whenever a skill needs the contents of a
specific Trello list by ID.

trello-list-snapshot
Single-list fetch + format. Reusable building block for any Trello reporting skill.
Inputs
list_id(required) — Trello list ID.since(optional) — ISO 8601 UTC timestamp. When provided, only cards whosedate_last_activityis>= sinceare returned (server-side filter via the Trello-MCPsinceparameter).format(optional, defaultdetailed) —compactordetailed. Controls the markdown rendering; the structured array is unaffected.label(optional) — a short label for the list (e.g. "Doing") used in the markdown heading. Defaults to "List".
Output
Return both:
- A structured array of cards, each with:
id,name,desc,due,due_complete,labels,url,member_ids,date_last_activity. - A markdown block. Sort by
date_last_activitydescending (most recent first). If the list is empty after filtering, render_(no cards)_.
Behavior
-
Call
mcp__trello__get_cards(list_id=<list_id>, since=<since>?). Omitsincefrom the call when it is not provided — do not pass empty string or null. -
Sort the returned cards by
date_last_activitydescending. -
Render markdown:
detailed:
### <label> (<n> cards) - **<name>** — _<date_last_activity>_ - Due: <due> · Labels: <label-names> - Members: <member_ids joined> - <url> - <first line of desc, truncated to 200 chars> (if non-empty)compact:
### <label> (<n> cards) - <name> · <date_last_activity> · <url> -
Return the structured array and the markdown string to the caller.
Notes
- The Trello-MCP
sincefilter is inclusive (>=). Callers that want a strict "after" should passsinceone millisecond past the cutoff. date_last_activityis "any activity," not specifically a list move. The daily-summary skill explains why this is an acceptable proxy for "completed since" when reading the Done list.- Do not call
list_boardsorlist_listsfrom this skill; the caller is expected to have resolved thelist_idalready (e.g. viatrello-board-resolver).
