# ClickUp CLI (`clickup`)

Use the `clickup` CLI instead of raw ClickUp API calls. Handles authentication, git integration,
fuzzy status matching, and custom fields automatically.

## When to use

- Create, edit, view, or search ClickUp tasks
- Check sprint status or recent tasks
- Add comments, link PRs/branches, or manage statuses
- Task IDs: `CU-abc123` or `86abc123`

## Out of scope

- Does NOT replace project management decisions — confirm scope with user first
- Does NOT push code or create PRs — delegate to **`github-cli-workflow`**

## Authentication

```bash
clickup auth login    # store API token
clickup auth status   # verify
```

Config: `~/.config/clickup/config.yml`. Supports per-directory defaults.

## Key rules

1. **Always `--current`** for sprint lists — IDs change every sprint, never hardcode them
2. **Fill ALL fields** when creating tasks (name, description, status, priority, assignee, tags, due-date)
3. **Check `clickup tag list`** before using tags — reuse existing ones
4. **Naming:** `[Work Type] Context — Action (Platform/Scope)` — see `references/task-management.md`
5. **Bulk ops:** pass multiple IDs as positional args; for subtasks view parent with `--json` first

## Quick commands

```bash
clickup task view                     # auto-detects from git branch
clickup task search "query"
clickup task recent --sprint
clickup task create --current --name "[Bug] Auth — Fix X (API)" --priority 2
clickup task edit CU-abc123 --status "in progress"
clickup status list                   # check valid statuses before setting
clickup sprint current
clickup inbox
```

## Common flags

| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `--json` | JSON output |
| `--jq <expr>` | Filter with jq |
| `--raw`, `-r` | Raw strings with `--jq` |
