What This Skill Does

The monday skill for OpenClaw provides a robust interface for interacting with the monday.com GraphQL API. This integration allows users to automate project management tasks directly through their AI agent, eliminating the need to manually toggle between browser tabs or complex spreadsheets. By utilizing this skill, your agent can query active boards, inspect specific project items, generate new tasks dynamically, update column statuses, and append comments or updates to existing work items. It serves as a bridge between the OpenClaw agent and your team's workflow, ensuring that data-driven updates and administrative housekeeping can be handled programmatically.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/mrgoodb/monday

Once installed, you must authenticate the agent by setting the MONDAY_API_TOKEN environment variable. This token can be generated within your monday.com account settings under the API section. Ensure that the token has the appropriate permissions to view and modify the boards you intend to manage.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for teams that rely on monday.com as their single source of truth. Common use cases include: 1) Automated Reporting: The agent can fetch board statuses at the end of the day to generate a summary report. 2) Ticket Triage: As new tickets arrive, the agent can automatically assign them to specific statuses based on project priority. 3) Workflow Orchestration: Triggering updates to status columns upon the completion of external tasks, such as clearing a CI/CD pipeline or finishing a data migration. 4) Communication: Adding comments to project items to notify stakeholders of progress without leaving the agent workspace.

Example Prompts

1. "List the 10 most recent items from the Engineering board and summarize their status."
2. "Create a new task on the Marketing board titled 'Q4 Campaign Review' and set the status to 'In Progress'."
3. "Find the item with ID 12345 on my project board and add an update saying 'The documentation has been reviewed and approved.'"

Tips & Limitations

The monday API relies on specific IDs for boards and columns. Use the 'List Boards' function first to retrieve the necessary identifiers. Note that complex column types (like status dropdowns) require specific JSON formatting in the mutation payload; always ensure your string escapes are correct. The skill is limited by the rate-limiting policies of the monday.com API, so avoid rapid-fire polling in high-volume environments.
