File contents

Kan.bn TODO API

Use this skill to run Kan.bn TODO operations via scripts/kanbn_todo.py.

Configure

Set auth before running commands:

KANBN_TOKEN for bearer auth, or
KANBN_API_KEY for API-key auth.

Optional:

KANBN_BASE_URL (defaults to https://kan.bn/api/v1)

Execute Core TODO Workflows

Use python3 scripts/kanbn_todo.py <command> ....

1) Discover workspace and board

python3 scripts/kanbn_todo.py me
python3 scripts/kanbn_todo.py workspaces
python3 scripts/kanbn_todo.py boards --workspace-id <workspacePublicId>

2) Create TODO and read it back

python3 scripts/kanbn_todo.py todo-create \
  --list-id <todoListPublicId> \
  --title "Pay electricity bill" \
  --description "Before Friday" \
  --due-date "2026-03-06T09:00:00.000Z"

python3 scripts/kanbn_todo.py todo-get --card-id <cardPublicId>

3) Update TODO or change status

Edit fields:

python3 scripts/kanbn_todo.py todo-update \
  --card-id <cardPublicId> \
  --title "Pay electricity + water bill" \
  --description "Do both tonight"

Change status by moving lists (e.g., TODO -> DOING -> DONE):

python3 scripts/kanbn_todo.py todo-move \
  --card-id <cardPublicId> \
  --to-list-id <doingListPublicId>

4) Delete TODO

python3 scripts/kanbn_todo.py todo-delete --card-id <cardPublicId>

Use Personal-Only Enhancements

Search tasks in workspace:

python3 scripts/kanbn_todo.py search --workspace-id <workspacePublicId> --query "bill"

Add personal notes/comments:

python3 scripts/kanbn_todo.py comment-add --card-id <cardPublicId> --comment "Waiting for invoice"

Track subtasks with checklist:

python3 scripts/kanbn_todo.py checklist-add --card-id <cardPublicId> --name "Prep"
python3 scripts/kanbn_todo.py checkitem-add --checklist-id <checklistPublicId> --title "Download invoice"
python3 scripts/kanbn_todo.py checkitem-update --item-id <checklistItemPublicId> --completed true
