  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 5 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by sundial-org on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Asana AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills/tree/main/skills/asana
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills.git /tmp/awesome-openclaw-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/awesome-openclaw-skills/skills/asana .claude/skills/asana
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Asana in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Asana on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Asana is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Asana (Clawdbot skill)

This skill is designed for a personal local-only Asana integration using OAuth with an out-of-band/manual code paste flow.

What this skill provides

  • A small Node CLI to:
    • generate the Asana authorize URL
    • exchange an authorization code for access/refresh tokens
    • auto-refresh the access token
    • make basic API calls (e.g. /users/me, /workspaces, tasks)

Setup (OAuth, OOB/manual code)

0) Create an Asana app

In Asana Developer Console (My apps):

  • Create app
  • Enable scopes you will need (typical: tasks:read, tasks:write, projects:read)
  • Set redirect URI to the OOB value (manual code):
    • urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob

1) Provide credentials (two options)

Option A (recommended for Clawdbot): save to a local credentials file:

bash
node scripts/configure.mjs --client-id "..." --client-secret "..."

This writes ~/.clawdbot/asana/credentials.json.

Option B: set environment variables (shell/session):

  • ASANA_CLIENT_ID
  • ASANA_CLIENT_SECRET

2) Run OAuth

From the repo root:

  1. Print the authorize URL:
bash
node scripts/oauth_oob.mjs authorize
  1. Open the printed URL, click Allow, copy the code.
  2. Exchange code and save tokens locally:
bash
node scripts/oauth_oob.mjs token --code "PASTE_CODE_HERE"

Tokens are stored at:

  • ~/.clawdbot/asana/token.json

Chat usage (support both explicit + natural language)

You can use either:

  • Explicit commands: start the message with /asana ...
  • Natural language: e.g. “list tasks assigned to me”

For Clawdbot, implement the mapping by translating the user request into the appropriate asana_api.mjs command.

Examples:

  • /asana tasks-assigned → tasks-assigned --assignee me
  • “list tasks assigned to me” → tasks-assigned --assignee me
  • “list all tasks in ” → resolve <project> to a project gid, then tasks-in-project --project <gid>
  • “list tasks due date from 2026-01-01 to 2026-01-15” → search-tasks --assignee me --due_on.after 2026-01-01 --due_on.before 2026-01-15

(Optional helper) scripts/asana_chat.mjs can map common phrases to a command skeleton.

Using the API helper

Sanity check (who am I):

bash
node scripts/asana_api.mjs me

List workspaces:

bash
node scripts/asana_api.mjs workspaces

Set a default workspace (optional):

bash
node scripts/asana_api.mjs set-default-workspace --workspace <workspace_gid>

After that, you can omit --workspace for commands that support it.

List projects in a workspace (explicit):

bash
node scripts/asana_api.mjs projects --workspace <workspace_gid>

List projects using the default workspace:

bash
node scripts/asana_api.mjs projects

List tasks in a project:

bash
node scripts/asana_api.mjs tasks-in-project --project <project_gid>

List tasks assigned to me (workspace required by Asana):

bash
node scripts/asana_api.mjs tasks-assigned --workspace <workspace_gid> --assignee me

Or using the default workspace:

bash
node scripts/asana_api.mjs tasks-assigned --assignee me

Search tasks (advanced search):

bash
node scripts/asana_api.mjs search-tasks --workspace <workspace_gid> --text "release" --assignee me
# also supports convenience: --project <project_gid>

View a task:

bash
node scripts/asana_api.mjs task <task_gid>

Mark a task complete:

bash
node scripts/asana_api.mjs complete-task <task_gid>

Update a task:

bash
node scripts/asana_api.mjs update-task <task_gid> --name "New title" --due_on 2026-02-01

Comment on a task:

bash
node scripts/asana_api.mjs comment <task_gid> --text "Update: shipped"

Create a task:

bash
node scripts/asana_api.mjs create-task --workspace <workspace_gid> --name "Test task" --notes "from clawdbot" --projects <project_gid>

Notes / gotchas

  • OAuth access tokens expire; refresh tokens are used to obtain new access tokens.
  • If you later want multi-user support, replace OOB with a real redirect/callback.
  • Don’t log tokens.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Asana AI skill do?

Integrate Asana with Clawdbot via the Asana REST API. Use when you need to list/search/create/update Asana tasks/projects/workspaces, or to set up Asana OAuth (authorization code grant) for a personal local-only integration (OOB/manual code paste).

Why use Asana on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Asana is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Asana in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills/tree/main/skills/asana. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Asana?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Asana?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Asana with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Asana AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by sundial-org. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
