About
This skill manages Trello boards, lists and cards through the Trello REST API using curl commands. It can list boards, list the lists in a board, create cards with a title and description, and move cards between lists. A developer uses it when they want an agent to read or update a Trello board from the terminal. It matters because it wraps the authenticated Trello API calls and documents the key/token setup and rate limits.
