SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of keeping Trello Kanban cards and Dex tasks synchronized without manual status updates, reducing missed work and stale planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Trello ↔ Dex Task Sync: Cards created in Dex appear on Trello, and moving cards to Done in Trello marks tasks complete in Dex.
  • Project Health from Live Board State: Uses Trello list status to surface blocked items and stalled cards for better prioritization.
  • Daily Plan & Meeting Prep Context: Brings assigned and overdue Trello cards into daily planning and highlights blocked work relevant to attendees.
  • Privacy & On-Demand Sync: Stores API credentials locally, accesses only explicitly configured boards, and performs sync on demand rather than constant polling.

Quick Start

Run /trello-setup and connect your Trello board so Dex can sync your Kanban tasks and daily plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I sync Trello Kanban cards into daily plans and meeting prep context?▼

Trello Kanban cards sync into daily plans by connecting Trello via MCP, mapping list IDs to task statuses, and validating the board connection to bring assigned and overdue cards into context.

What do I need to configure for Trello MCP integration in my .mcp.json file?▼

Trello MCP integration requires creating Trello API credentials, configuring the mcp-server-trello entry in your .mcp.json file, and mapping backlog, in-progress, blocked, and done list IDs to statuses.

Can I map Trello list IDs to custom task statuses for project health tracking?▼

Mapping Trello list IDs to custom task statuses is configured in System/integrations/config.yaml, allowing moving cards to Done in Trello to mark tasks complete and surface blocked items for project health tracking.

Does Trello task sync require constant polling or continuous background access?▼

Trello task sync does not require constant polling; it performs on-demand synchronization and stores API credentials locally, accessing only explicitly configured boards to maintain privacy and reduce stale planning.

Why are my Trello blocked cards not showing up in daily planning and meeting preparation?▼

Blocked Trello cards may not appear in daily planning if list IDs are incorrectly mapped to Dex statuses in config.yaml, or if the board connection was not validated by listing boards during setup.

What is the best way to connect a Trello board to Dex for task synchronization?▼

The best way to connect a Trello board to Dex is running the setup command, creating Trello API credentials, configuring the MCP server, mapping list IDs to statuses, and validating the connection by listing boards.
