Asana

# Asana (Clawdbot skill)

This skill is designed for a **personal local-only** Asana integration using **OAuth** with an **out-of-band/manual code paste** flow.

## What this skill provides - A small Node CLI to: - generate the Asana authorize URL - exchange an authorization code for access/refresh tokens - auto-refresh the access token - make basic API calls (e.g. `/users/me`, `/workspaces`, tasks)

## Setup (OAuth, OOB/manual code)

### 0) Create an Asana app In Asana Developer Console (My apps): - Create app - Enable scopes you will need (typical: `tasks:read`, `tasks:write`, `projects:read`) - Set redirect URI to the OOB value (manual code): - `urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob`

### 1) Provide credentials (two options)

**Option A (recommended for Clawdbot):** save to a local credentials file: ```bash node scripts/configure.mjs --client-id "..." --client-secret "..." ``` This writes `~/.clawdbot/asana/credentials.json`.

**Option B:** set environment variables (shell/session): - `ASANA_CLIENT_ID` - `ASANA_CLIENT_SECRET`

### 2) Run OAuth From the repo root:

1) Print the authorize URL: ```bash node scripts/oauth_oob.mjs authorize ``` 2) Open the printed URL, click **Allow**, copy the code. 3) Exchange code and save tokens locally: ```bash node scripts/oauth_oob.mjs token --code "PASTE_CODE_HERE" ```

Tokens are stored at: - `~/.clawdbot/asana/token.json`

## Chat usage (support both explicit + natural language)

You can use either: - **Explicit commands**: start the message with `/asana ...` - **Natural language**: e.g. “list tasks assigned to me”

For Clawdbot, implement the mapping by translating the user request into the appropriate `asana_api.mjs` command.

Examples: - `/asana tasks-assigned` → `tasks-assigned --assignee me` - “list tasks assigned to me” → `tasks-assigned --assignee me` - “list all tasks in <project>” → resolve `<project>` to a project gid, then `tasks-in-project --project <gid>` - “list tasks due date from 2026-01-01 to 2026-01-15” → `search-tasks --assignee me --due_on.after 2026-01-01 --due_on.before 2026-01-15`

(Optional helper) `scripts/asana_chat.mjs` can map common phrases to a command skeleton.

## Using the API helper

Sanity check (who am I): ```bash node scripts/asana_api.mjs me ```

List workspaces: ```bash node scripts/asana_api.mjs workspaces ```

Set a default workspace (optional): ```bash node scripts/asana_api.mjs set-default-workspace --workspace <workspace_gid> ``` After that, you can omit `--workspace` for commands that support it.

List projects in a workspace (explicit): ```bash node scripts/asana_api.mjs projects --workspace <workspace_gid> ``` List projects using the default workspace: ```bash node scripts/asana_api.mjs projects ```

List tasks in a project: ```bash node scripts/asana_api.mjs tasks-in-project --project <project_gid> ```

List tasks assigned to me (workspace required by Asana): ```bash node scripts/asana_api.mjs tasks-assigned --workspace <workspace_gid> --assignee me ``` Or using the default workspace: ```bash node scripts/asana_api.mjs tasks-assigned --assignee me ```

Search tasks (advanced search): ```bash node scripts/asana_api.mjs search-tasks --workspace <workspace_gid> --text "release" --assignee me # also supports convenience: --project <project_gid> ```

View a task: ```bash node scripts/asana_api.mjs task <task_gid> ```

Mark a task complete: ```bash node scripts/asana_api.mjs complete-task <task_gid> ```

Update a task: ```bash node scripts/asana_api.mjs update-task <task_gid> --name "New title" --due_on 2026-02-01 ```

Comment on a task: ```bash node scripts/asana_api.mjs comment <task_gid> --text "Update: shipped" ```

Create a task: ```bash node scripts/asana_api.mjs create-task --workspace <workspace_gid> --name "Test task" --notes "from clawdbot" --projects <project_gid> ```

## Notes / gotchas - OAuth access tokens expire; refresh tokens are used to obtain new access tokens. - If you later want multi-user support, replace OOB with a real redirect/callback. - Don’t log tokens.
