At a glance

Read and manage Asana tasks: my tasks, task details, create tasks.

  • Works in 3 steps: create is a write: confirm the task name… → Reading (me, tasks) needs no confirmation. → Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI…
  • Tasks that involve Task breakdown
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Tooling, Auth and Operating Rules, plus 2 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder

What it does

Asana is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Read and manage Asana tasks: my tasks, task details, create tasks. Trigger phrases: asana, my tasks, task list, todo.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/asana.py`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Task breakdown. It works with Asana. The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Task breakdown

Example prompts

  • “/asana”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. create is a write: confirm the task name (and workspace) with the user before creating, unless standing permission exists.
  2. Reading (me, tasks) needs no confirmation.
  3. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/asana.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Asana loads about 481 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 166 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~481

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Asana

Purpose

Work with the user's Asana: view tasks assigned to them and create new tasks. Use when the user mentions Asana, their tasks, or a todo list.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/asana.py:

bash
bin/asana.py me                                        # verify the connection, shows user gid
bin/asana.py tasks                                     # tasks assigned to me
bin/asana.py create --name "Ship v2" --notes "details"  # create a task
bin/asana.py create --name "Ship v2" --workspace-gid 1234567890123456 --notes "x"

create needs a workspace gid; pass --workspace-gid explicitly, or ask the user which workspace if unknown.

Auth

  • Provider id: asana (credential is collected as custom.asana)
  • Collection: API key via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access): an Asana personal access token (My Settings → Apps → Manage Developer Apps), pasted once into the hosted form
  • Allowed hosts: app.asana.com
  • Status check: bin/asana.py me (must return the user's gid and name)

Operating Rules

  1. create is a write: confirm the task name (and workspace) with the user before creating, unless standing permission exists.
  2. Reading (me, tasks) needs no confirmation.
  3. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/asana.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.
