What ClickUp task manager does
Log tasks quickly with as little back-and-forth as possible. Either answer a two-screen wizard, or paste raw notes, an email, a brief or an error log and let the title and description be written from them. The list, assignees, priority and due date are picked, confirmed once, and the task is created with a short overview comment.
What you give it
Either answers to a two-screen wizard, or pasted notes, an email, a client brief or an error log to build the task from.
What you get back
- A ClickUp task with a clean [Category] title, a description in plain or structured style, assignees, priority and due date
- A short overview comment on the new task
Use cases
Turning a client email into a task
Paste the email. The task is written from it, with the client's own wording preserved when you choose the plain style.
Logging an error you just hit
Paste the error log and it becomes a ticket with the log formatted cleanly in the description.
Working across more than one ClickUp account
The workspace is discovered at run time rather than hard-coded, so the same skill works in any account without editing it.
How to use ClickUp task manager
Install the productivity toolkit
/plugin install productivity-toolkit@claude-skills
Authorise the ClickUp MCP server
The skill checks the connection with one light call before doing anything else, and stops if it fails.
Say "create a task" or paste your notes
You are asked once which intake mode you want: the manual wizard, or quick paste.
Confirm once
Everything is shown for a single confirmation before the task is created.
Benefits
Titles that read in a narrow column
Format is [Category] plus a short, action-oriented description. Client code prefixes are left out because the list already says which client it is.
Your words, untouched
In plain style the description is your text exactly as given, with numbering, spelling and line breaks kept. When someone pastes an error log, the exact text is the point.
Structured when you want it
Objective, acceptance criteria, attachments and notes, laid out in Markdown.
No hard-coded IDs
Nothing about your workspace is baked into the skill, so it is safe to share and safe to update.
Install clickup-task-manager

~/.claude/profiles/clickup-task-manager.md (optional). It asks for the details the first time and offers to save them there, so later runs ask nothing.
Questions about clickup-task-manager
- Do I have to configure my workspace IDs?
- No. The skill discovers the workspace at run time. An optional profile can set defaults such as your usual list, your category prefixes and your teammates, purely to save questions.
