symphony-trello: Skill for Codex

Trello Handoff

Goals

• Move only the current card through configured board lists.
• Leave clear Trello comments for humans.
• Keep active lists free of blocked or completed work.
• Use the workpad for detailed state and a short comment for the visible handoff.

Current-Card Tools

Use these scoped tools when they are advertised:

• trello_move_current_card
• trello_add_comment
• trello_upsert_workpad
• trello_update_blocker_recheck_status

The move tool uses Trello's term list_name for a board list name.

Pickup

When a card starts in Ready for Codex and an In Progress list is configured, Symphony normally moves it to In Progress before Codex starts. If Codex still needs to request the pickup move, apply the stale-blocker check below first and publish any required checking status before that tool call:

{
  "tool": "trello_move_current_card",
  "arguments": {
    "list_name": "In Progress"
  }
}

If no in-progress list is configured, leave the card in its active list and continue work.

Stale Blocker Recheck

This section applies only when trello_update_blocker_recheck_status is advertised. When it is unavailable, do not attempt a managed recheck write; follow the workflow's tool-disabled final-response or manual handoff path.

The rendered prompt contains only recent Trello comments, so do not use it to decide whether a stale blocker exists. When the tool is advertised, always call it with status checking before changing code. The tool inspects the deep current-card comment window and classifies the newest ordinary comment after ignoring the ## Codex Workpad and Symphony-managed prerequisite comments. A Symphony-managed recheck status ends with the exact Managed by Symphony footer and a link to the qualifying blocker comment on the current card. Similar visible text, or a link to another card, remains an ordinary comment. Do not scan past a newer ordinary human comment to find an older blocker.

The newest ordinary comment qualifies only when its first non-blank line starts with Blocked: or Blocked by ..., matched without case sensitivity. A human discussion that merely contains the word blocked does not qualify.
