Adding Cards with Checklists
When creating cards that need checklists (e.g., recipes with shopping lists):
- Create the card:
create_card <list_id> "Card Name" "Description" - Create a checklist:
create_checklist <card_id> "Checklist Name" - Add items:
add_checkitem <checklist_id> "Item name"
Example (recipe card):
# Create recipe card
python3 scripts/trello_api.py create_card <list_id> "Recipe Name" "Ingredients and steps..."
# Add shopping list checklist
python3 scripts/trello_api.py create_checklist <card_id> "Shopping List"
# Add ingredients as checklist items
python3 scripts/trello_api.py add_checkitem <checklist_id> "Ingredient 1"
python3 scripts/trello_api.py add_checkitem <checklist_id> "Ingredient 2"
Output Format
All output is optimized for minimal context:
- Lists show:
Name [id]per line - Cards show:
Name [id] - description_preview - Labels show:
Name [id] (color) - Checklists show items with
[x]or[ ]status - Mutations return:
Action message: new_id
Notes
- Requires
TRELLO_API_KEYandTRELLO_API_TOKENin environment - IDs are always shown in
[brackets]for easy extraction
