Kanbanflow Skill

What This Skill Does

The Kanbanflow skill by abakermi allows your OpenClaw AI agent to interface directly with KanbanFlow boards. It provides a comprehensive suite of management tools, enabling the agent to retrieve board structures, list columns, audit tasks, create new work items, move tasks across workflows, update task colors, and delete obsolete entries. By integrating this skill, users can transform their AI agent into a digital project manager capable of maintaining real-time status updates on Kanban boards without manual intervention.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/abakermi/kanbanflow-skill Ensure that you have your KanbanFlow API credentials properly configured within your environment variables to allow the agent to authenticate with the service.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for high-velocity teams using Kanban methodologies. Primary use cases include:

• Automating the intake of new requests from email or Slack directly into a 'Backlog' column.
• Automatically shifting 'In Progress' tasks to 'Review' columns based on trigger events.
• Maintaining board hygiene by removing completed or expired tasks via automated cleanup scripts.
• Providing project status updates by querying columns and summarizing active task lists.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, please add a new task named 'Review Documentation' to the 'To Do' column with a blue color tag."
2. "Show me all the tasks currently in the 'In Progress' column and move the one labeled 'Bug #402' to the 'Testing' column."
3. "List all columns in my KanbanFlow board and give me a summary of how many tasks are assigned to each."

Tips & Limitations

• Task IDs: Ensure you use the specific task IDs provided by the kanbanflow tasks command; using generic names may lead to errors.
• Authentication: This skill requires an active API token. If you receive permission errors, verify that your token has both read and write access to your desired boards.
• Rate Limiting: KanbanFlow enforces API rate limits; if managing large boards with many tasks, consider adding slight delays between automated bulk updates to avoid hitting service thresholds.
• Specificity: When adding tasks, remember that the columnId is case-sensitive and must match the exact string identifier provided by the board API.
