SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Capture fleeting Slack discussions and convert them into persistent Asana tasks so important follow-ups don't get lost in saved messages or busy channels. This removes the friction of manual copy-paste, manual project mapping, and ad-hoc reminders.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One-step capture: Convert a Slack thread URL into a new Asana task with a link back to the thread.
  • Automatic project resolution: Map Slack channels to customer action tracker projects using templates/customers.yaml and default to the SE Team project when unknown.
  • Smart naming and scheduling: Use an optional one-line description or generate a concise task name from the thread, and default due date to tomorrow unless specified.
  • Confirmation and safety: Shows the task summary and asks before creating; only creates tasks (no deletions or edits).
  • Use case: When a customer calls out an SDK bug in a channel, run the skill to create a tracked Asana task linked to the conversation for follow-up.

Quick Start

Run the track command with a Slack thread URL to create an Asana task due tomorrow.
