File contents

Trello Import Skill

Convert Trello board JSON exports into Markdown notes for Obsidian.

When to Use

User has placed one or more *.json Trello board exports at the repository root
User wants to (re-)generate the TRELLO_IMPORT/ folder structure

Bundled Script

The converter script is bundled at scripts/import_from_trello.py. Run it from the repository root:

# Import one board only (recommended)
python3 .claude/skills/trello-import/scripts/import_from_trello.py 20260214_pok-pok-noodles.json

# Import multiple explicit boards
python3 .claude/skills/trello-import/scripts/import_from_trello.py 20260214_foodie-rezepte.json 20260214_hot-thai-kitchen.json

Do not run the script without explicit JSON file arguments.

Behavior

Read only the explicitly provided *.json files
If a target board directory already exists, prompt for explicit approval before deleting/recreating it
In non-interactive mode, always refuse overwrite of existing board directories
Write to TRELLO_IMPORT/<Board>/<List>/<Card>/index.md
Lists are sorted by Trello position and prefixed: 001 ListName/, 002 ListName/
Each card gets YAML frontmatter (title, board, list, trello_url) plus sections for description and attachments
Duplicate card names within a list get [<card-id>] appended for collision safety
Filenames are sanitized (max 120 chars, safe unicode)

Warning

Destructive per imported board: for each selected JSON file, the script deletes and recreates that board directory (shutil.rmtree). Never hand-edit files inside TRELLO_IMPORT/. Overwrite is interactive-only: existing board folders are never replaced in non-interactive runs.

Verify

find TRELLO_IMPORT -name index.md | head -20
