Task Management

Create, update, assign, and manage items on monday.com boards. In monday.com, every row on a board is an "item" - it could represent a task, a deal, a bug, a content piece, or any unit of work. This skill teaches the correct column value formatting required by monday.com's API - the most common source of errors when working with the platform programmatically.

Critical Precondition

Before creating or updating any item, ALWAYS call get_board_info first to retrieve the board's column definitions. You need:

• Column IDs (e.g., status, date4, person)
• Column types (e.g., status, date, people)
• Status label mappings (e.g., which index maps to "Done")
• Allowed values for dropdown columns

Without this step, column value writes will fail silently or set incorrect values.
