What This Skill Does

The Verk skill empowers the OpenClaw AI agent to serve as a comprehensive project management assistant. By interfacing directly with the Verk platform via the verk-cli.mjs tool, this skill allows the agent to create, modify, and monitor tasks, projects, and automation workflows. It bridges the gap between natural language requests and structured task management, handling everything from quick status updates on individual tickets to organizing high-priority backlogs. Whether you need to reassign a task, escalate a project's priority, or document progress through comments, this skill provides a programmatic interface to keep your team's workflow in sync.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/abhibavishi/verk

Once installed, ensure your environment is configured to execute Node.js scripts, as the underlying Verk interface relies on the provided verk-cli.mjs utility located in the scripts directory of your repository.

Use Cases

• Project Management Automation: Automatically sync tasks between internal team meetings and your Verk dashboard.
• Task Lifecycle Management: Streamline the process of moving items from 'Todo' to 'Done' without leaving your terminal or chat interface.
• Team Coordination: Assign specific developers or stakeholders to tasks based on agent analysis of technical requirements.
• Audit Trails: Quickly retrieve project status or task history during daily stand-ups to ensure visibility.

Example Prompts

1. "Find all 'Urgent' tasks in the backlog and show me who they are assigned to."
2. "Update task task-882, mark it as Done and leave a comment saying that the PR has been merged and verified."
3. "Create a new high-priority task titled 'Implement OAuth2 integration' and assign it to the backend-team user."

Tips & Limitations

• Status Consistency: Always ensure that status and priority values match the accepted categories (Backlog, Todo, In-Progress, Review, Done and Urgent, High, Medium, Low, None). Using unlisted values will cause command failures.
• Efficiency: When listing tasks, use the --search or filter flags to avoid overwhelming the context window with raw JSON data. The agent is trained to summarize the output, but narrow queries provide cleaner, more actionable results.
• Permissions: This skill operates on the credentials associated with the execution environment. Ensure your API keys or user tokens are correctly configured to allow modifications to projects and flows.
