# Trello Skill
Manage Trello boards, lists, and cards directly from ArgentOS.
## Setup
1. Get your API key: https://trello.com/app-key
2. Generate a token (click "Token" link on that page)
3. Set environment variables:
```bash
export TRELLO_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export TRELLO_TOKEN="your-token"
```
## Usage
All commands use curl to hit the Trello REST API.
### List boards
```bash
curl -s "https://api.trello.com/1/members/me/boards?key=$TRELLO_API_KEY&token=$TRELLO_TOKEN" | jq '.[] | {name, id}'
```
### List lists in a board
```bash
curl -s "https://api.trello.com/1/boards/{boardId}/lists?key=$TRELLO_API_KEY&token=$TRELLO_TOKEN" | jq '.[] | {name, id}'
```
### List cards in a list
```bash
curl -s "https://api.trello.com/1/lists/{listId}/cards?key=$TRELLO_API_KEY&token=$TRELLO_TOKEN" | jq '.[] | {name, id, desc}'
```
### Create a card
```bash
curl -s -X POST "https://api.trello.com/1/cards?key=$TRELLO_API_KEY&token=$TRELLO_TOKEN" \
-d "idList={listId}" \
-d "name=Card Title" \
-d "desc=Card description"
```
### Move a card to another list
```bash
curl -s -X PUT "https://api.trello.com/1/cards/{cardId}?key=$TRELLO_API_KEY&token=$TRELLO_TOKEN" \
-d "idList={newListId}"
```
### Add a comment to a card
```bash
curl -s -X POST "https://api.trello.com/1/cards/{cardId}/actions/comments?key=$TRELLO_API_KEY&token=$TRELLO_TOKEN" \
-d "text=Your comment here"
```
### Archive a card
```bash
curl -s -X PUT "https://api.trello.com/1/cards/{cardId}?key=$TRELLO_API_KEY&token=$TRELLO_TOKEN" \
-d "closed=true"
```
## Notes
- Board/List/Card IDs can be found in the Trello URL or via the list commands
- The API key and token provide full access to your Trello account - keep them secret!
- Rate limits: 300 requests per 10 seconds per API key; 100 requests per 10 seconds per token; `/1/members` endpoints are limited to 100 requests per 900 seconds
## Examples
```bash
# Get all boards
curl -s "https://api.trello.com/1/members/me/boards?key=$TRELLO_API_KEY&token=$TRELLO_TOKEN&fields=name,id" | jq
# Find a specific board by name
curl -s "https://api.trello.com/1/members/me/boards?key=$TRELLO_API_KEY&token=$TRELLO_TOKEN" | jq '.[] | select(.name | contains("Work"))'
# Get all cards on a board
curl -s "https://api.trello.com/1/boards/{boardId}/cards?key=$TRELLO_API_KEY&token=$TRELLO_TOKEN" | jq '.[] | {name, list: .idList}'
```
