trello is an agent skill that manages Trello boards, lists, and cards through curl commands against the Trello REST API with API key and token authentication.
About
trello is an OpenClaw skill for managing Trello boards, lists, and cards via the Trello REST API. Setup requires an API key from trello.com/app-key, a generated token, and TRELLO_API_KEY plus TRELLO_TOKEN environment variables that grant full account access and must stay secret. Commands use curl with key and token query parameters piped through jq to list boards, list board lists, list cards, create cards with idList name and desc, move cards by updating idList, add comments, and archive cards with closed=true. Examples filter boards by name and list all cards on a board with list ids. Notes cite rate limits of 300 requests per 10 seconds per API key and 100 per 10 seconds per token, with /1/members endpoints limited to 100 requests per 900 seconds. Metadata requires curl and jq binaries. Developers reach for it when an agent must read or mutate Trello boards without a separate SDK.
