What is WeKan CLI Skill?
This skill integrates the wekancli tool with Openclaw Skills to provide a seamless interface for managing kanban-style project boards. It allows AI agents to interact directly with self-hosted WeKan instances, enabling automated task organization, status updates, and board maintenance.
By leveraging a specific user session or identity, the skill ensures that all actions taken by the agent are authenticated and correctly attributed within the WeKan environment. This is an ideal solution for teams that require a Trello-like experience but prefer the privacy and control of a self-hosted platform. Integrating this with Openclaw Skills allows your AI to act as a project coordinator that keeps your boards up to date in real-time.
WeKan CLI Skill Use Cases
- Automating the creation of tasks based on conversation context.
- Organizing project backlogs by moving cards between status columns like To Do and Done.
- Archiving completed tasks and cleaning up stale boards programmatically.
- Synchronizing task boards with external project management workflows.
- Fetching card details to provide status updates during stand-up meetings.
How WeKan CLI Skill Works
- The AI agent authenticates with the target WeKan server using the provided WEKAN_URL and WEKAN_TOKEN.
- The agent identifies the correct board and list IDs by querying the server with wekancli list commands.
- Based on the user's request, the agent executes specific wekancli commands to create, edit, or archive cards.
- The agent verifies the action by listing the updated board state, ensuring the task was successfully processed.
- All changes are reflected immediately on the self-hosted WeKan instance for the entire team.
