Overview

This skill retrieves and presents comprehensive details about a specific ClickUp task. It formats task metadata, description, checklist items, custom fields, recent comments, and time tracking into a clear, scannable report. Use it to quickly inspect a task without opening the ClickUp UI.

How this skill works

Provide a task identifier (with or without the # prefix) and the tool fetches full task data via the ClickUp MCP endpoint clickup_get_task. The skill organizes the response into sections: core metadata, formatted description, checklist items with completion status, custom fields, up to three recent comments, time tracking entries, and a direct task link. All fields returned by the API are mapped to human-friendly labels for immediate review.

When to use it

When you need a quick, consolidated view of a task without navigating ClickUp.
Before a meeting to gather status, assignees, due date, and recent discussion.
To verify custom field values or checklist progress for reporting or handoff.
When auditing recent activity, comments, or tracked time on a task.
During triage to see status, priority, and related list/folder/space context.

Best practices

Provide the exact task ID (with or without leading #) to avoid ambiguity.
Use the direct task link included in the report to open ClickUp when deeper edits are needed.
Check the Recent Comments section for context before changing status or reassigning.
Verify custom field values shown in the output when using them for automation triggers.
If time tracking matters, confirm that time entries are synced from your tracking tool.

Example use cases

Prepare for a standup by fetching each attendee’s assigned task details and progress.
Review a task before reassigning or changing priority to ensure no recent blockers were posted.
Generate a summary for stakeholders that includes due date, assignees, and key comments.
Validate that checklist items are complete before marking a task done.
Collect task data for a retrospective or billing audit using time tracked and comments.

FAQ

What input formats are accepted for the task identifier?

You can pass the task ID with or without a leading # (for example, #ABC123 or ABC123).

How many recent comments are shown?

The skill shows up to the last three comments with author and date for quick context.

Does the skill modify the task?

No. This skill only retrieves and displays task information; it does not change task data.
