/log-task

Create an Asana task from a quick description. Smart-route it to the right project based on context.

Config

Load Asana GIDs from ~/.claude/memory/asana-config.md before making any API calls. This file contains workspace, user, project, and custom field GIDs — use them directly instead of searching.

Input

The user provides a task description as $ARGUMENTS. Examples:

• /log-task Follow up with client on check-in
• /log-task Draft monthly report for January
• /log-task Review candidate interview notes

Step 1: Parse Intent

Extract from the description:

• Task name — clean, action-oriented title
• Due date — if mentioned or implied; otherwise default to tomorrow
• Project — infer from context using the routing table in asana-config.md
• Type — match to the Type custom field enum (e.g., Account Mgmt., Admin, Business Dev)
• Priority — default Medium unless urgency is implied
• Notes — any additional context from the description

Step 2: Smart Project Routing

Match keywords in the task description against the routing table in ~/.claude/memory/asana-config.md. Use the project GID directly — no typeahead search needed.

If confidence is low (no clear context clues), ask: "Which project should this go in?" and present the likely options.

Step 3: Confirm Before Creating

Present the task details:

Task: [Name]
Project: [Project Name]
Due: [Date]
Type: [Type]
Priority: [Priority]
Notes: [Any additional context]

Ask: "Create this task?" — wait for confirmation.

Step 4: Create in Asana

Use asana_create_task with:

• project_id: from routing table (no workspace needed when project_id is set)
• assignee: me
• name, due_on, notes: from parsed intent
• custom_fields: set Task Progress (Not Started), Type, and Priority using GIDs from config

Confirm completion with the task link.
