clickup-hello-world
Prove the smallest safe ClickUp API connection by reading the authorized user and Workspaces without creating work. Use when validating a new ClickUp credential. Trigger with "ClickUp hello world", "test ClickUp token", or "first ClickUp API call".
Why this skill is useful
Provides specific ClickUp API v2 commands and workflows for task creation and workspace management that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires curl, jq installed locally. Requires clickup account access. About 2k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-07. 2,604 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
ClickUp Verified First Read Overview Verify authentication, JSON parsing, and Workspace scope before enabling any task or webhook mutation. Keep this first probe read-only and narrowly scoped. Prerequisites A personal token for individual/testing use or an OAuth token for a user-facing app An expected authorized Workspace ID supplied through a safe channel A server-side runtime that will not expose the token Tool Discipline Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect the repository, adapters, configuration names, tests, and evidence. Use WebFetch only for current official ClickUp documentation. Use Write or Edit after confirming the target file, Workspace boundary, and requested mode. Current Contract Send the token in the Authorization header; OAuth examples may use the Bearer form documented by ClickUp. Use GET /api/v2/user to confirm caller identity and GET /api/v2/team for authorized Workspaces. In v2, returned teams are Workspaces. The probe performs zero writes and logs no names, emails, or tokens. Authentication Use a personal token only for accountable individual/testing work or OAuth Authorization Code for a user-facing integration. Inject the token server-side through a governed secret reference, send it in Authorization, verify authorized Workspace IDs, and never print the token, OAuth client secret, or webhook secret. Instructions 1. Confirm the auth mode, secret reference, expected Workspace, timeout, and zero-write boundary. 2. Inspect the local client and ensure the base URL is https://api.clickup.com/api/v2. 3. Request the authorized user and validate a JSON user object without logging personal fields. 4. Request authorized teams and compare IDs to the expected Workspace allow-list. 5. Record status, latency, response schema, and redacted Workspace match. 6. Keep mutation disabled until the caller explicitly selects a bounded workflow. …
