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:

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:

node scripts/oauth_oob.mjs authorize

2) Open the printed URL, click Allow, copy the code. 3) Exchange code and save tokens locally:

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):

node scripts/asana_api.mjs me

List workspaces:

node scripts/asana_api.mjs workspaces

Set a default workspace (optional):

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):

node scripts/asana_api.mjs projects --workspace <workspace_gid>

List projects using the default workspace:

node scripts/asana_api.mjs projects

List tasks in a project:

node scripts/asana_api.mjs tasks-in-project --project <project_gid>

List tasks assigned to me (workspace required by Asana):

node scripts/asana_api.mjs tasks-assigned --workspace <workspace_gid> --assignee me

Or using the default workspace:

node scripts/asana_api.mjs tasks-assigned --assignee me

Search tasks (advanced search):

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

View a task:

node scripts/asana_api.mjs task <task_gid>

Mark a task complete:

node scripts/asana_api.mjs complete-task <task_gid>

Update a task:

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

Comment on a task:

node scripts/asana_api.mjs comment <task_gid> --text "Update: shipped"

Create a task:

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.
