What it does

Clickup Reference Architecture is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Analyze and design a governed ClickUp integration with typed v2/v3 adapters, Workspace policy, durable events, reconciliation, telemetry, and reversible writes. Use when shaping a production ClickUp service. Trigger with "ClickUp architecture", "design ClickUp sync", or "ClickUp integration blueprint".

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code; production design requires current ClickUp plan, data, and authorization facts

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Shaping a production ClickUp service
  • With ClickUp architecture
  • Design ClickUp sync
  • ClickUp integration blueprint

Example prompts

  • “ClickUp architecture”
  • “design ClickUp sync”
  • “ClickUp integration blueprint”
  • “/clickup-reference-architecture”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; production design requires current ClickUp plan, data, and authorization facts
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define source of truth and field-level ownership for every one-way or two-way mapping.
  2. Place auth and Workspace authorization in a policy layer above versioned transports.
  3. Model commands and events with durable IDs, mapping versions, and idempotency records.
  4. Add rate-aware queues, webhook ingress, reconciliation sweeps, and dead-letter review.
  5. Separate content-free telemetry/evidence from sensitive payload storage and retention.
  6. Exercise auth, plan, rate, webhook-gap, partial-write, schema-drift, and rollback scenarios.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • developer.clickup.com

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code; production design requires current ClickUp plan, data, and authorization facts

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Clickup Reference Architecture loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 379 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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.

ClickUp Integration Reference Architecture

Overview

Separate provider transport, tenancy policy, business mapping, durable execution, and evidence so API evolution or partial failure does not corrupt work.

Prerequisites

  • System boundaries, source-of-truth decision, data classes, latency/freshness SLOs, and ownership
  • Endpoint/version and plan inventory for required ClickUp capabilities
  • Failure, reconciliation, rollback, and incident requirements

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect the repository, adapters, configuration names, tests, and evidence. Use WebFetch only for current official ClickUp documentation. Use Write or Edit after confirming the target file, Workspace boundary, and requested mode.

Current Contract

  • Use explicit v2 and v3 clients because ClickUp exposes only selected v3 surfaces today.
  • Resolve v2 team_id to the application Workspace tenant boundary before every operation.
  • Treat webhooks as signed change signals processed through a durable idempotent queue, not as a complete event log.
  • Writes require stable source identity, reconciliation, and compensating/rollback policy.

Authentication

Use a personal token only for accountable individual/testing work or OAuth Authorization Code for a user-facing integration. Inject the token server-side through a governed secret reference, send it in Authorization, verify authorized Workspace IDs, and never print the token, OAuth client secret, or webhook secret.

Instructions

  1. Define source of truth and field-level ownership for every one-way or two-way mapping.
  2. Place auth and Workspace authorization in a policy layer above versioned transports.
  3. Model commands and events with durable IDs, mapping versions, and idempotency records.
  4. Add rate-aware queues, webhook ingress, reconciliation sweeps, and dead-letter review.
  5. Separate content-free telemetry/evidence from sensitive payload storage and retention.
  6. Exercise auth, plan, rate, webhook-gap, partial-write, schema-drift, and rollback scenarios.

Approval Boundaries

Do not permit autonomous destructive writes, cross-Workspace routing, ACL changes, or conflict resolution without explicit product-owner policy.

Output

Return component/data-flow design, version matrix, trust and tenant boundaries, failure modes, SLOs, reconciliation, approvals, and rollback.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
Source of truth is ambiguousStop two-way design until ownership is decided.
Required endpoint is plan-gatedRecord the dependency and approved alternative.
Webhook-only design cannot reconcile gapsAdd source reads and durable checkpoints.
Compensation is impossibleNarrow write scope or require manual approval.

Examples

The example below is a redacted operator receipt; it contains no task text, member data, credential, or webhook secret.

text
mode=two-way; versions=v2-tasks+v3-audit; tenant-guard=required; queue=durable; reconcile=hourly; destructive=manual
