ClickUp Task Workflow

A workflow guide for managing ClickUp tasks, a task-tracking service, through predefined commands and an assisting agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting, checking, completing, merging, and creating ClickUp tasks with commands such as `/task:start`, `/task:status`, and `/task:new`.
Why use it?
It gives coding work a consistent path from starting a task to review and completion, while keeping task-service details out of the main conversation.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ClickUp Task Workflow scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ClickUp Task Workflow

Overview

This skill provides workflow patterns for managing ClickUp tasks integrated with kas workflow commands. The core principle: delegate all ClickUp API calls to the clickup-task-agent to keep the main conversation context clean.

Core Principle

NEVER call ClickUp MCP tools directly in main context.

All ClickUp operations delegate to the clickup-task-agent subagent which returns concise summaries. This prevents verbose API responses from polluting the conversation.

Command Mapping

/task Command Skills/Commands Used ClickUp Actions
/task:start CU-xxx superpowers:brainstormingkas:review-plan (loop) → superpowers:subagent-driven-development OR superpowers:executing-plans Fetch task, set "in progress", assign
/task:done /kas:verify/kas:done → PR Set "ready for review", comment PR
/task:merge /kas:merge Set "complete"
/task:status [id] None Fetch and display status
/task:new None Create task via interview

Planning Workflow

/task:start uses superpowers-driven planning:

  1. Fetch task via clickup-task-agent (capture original status for rollback)
  2. Enter plan mode using EnterPlanMode tool
  3. Brainstorming via superpowers:brainstorming - explores, asks questions, outputs design
  4. Review loop via kas:review-plan - max 5 iterations until APPROVED or user overrides/aborts
  5. Implementation via user choice:
    • Option 1: superpowers:subagent-driven-development (same session)
    • Option 2: superpowers:executing-plans (separate session with worktree)

Detection Triggers

Activate this skill when detecting:

Task References

  • URLs: https://app.clickup.com/t/...
  • Task IDs: CU-xxx, #xxx, task xxx
  • Work phrases: "work on", "implement", "fix task", "start on"

Task Creation

  • Creation phrases: "create task", "new feature", "log bug", "file issue"

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ClickUp Task Workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository kastheco/claude-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 904 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
