Asana Project Sections

Use this skill when the normal Asana connector cannot list a project's sections or create a new section and a narrow REST fallback is needed.

Prefer the official Asana connector for normal section work. This skill is not a general Asana client.

Preconditions

• ASANA_ACCESS_TOKEN is available in the shell, ASANA_ENV_FILE, --env-file, or a local .env.local.
• The token belongs to an Asana user with access to the target project.
• Network access to https://app.asana.com/api/1.0 is allowed.

Non-Negotiable Rules

• Use scripts/project_sections.py.
• Never print the access token.
• Do not store the token in the skill directory.
• The default action only lists sections. A write happens only with --create.
• Use --dry-run with --create to preview a section before writing.
• Always pass a numeric project gid via --project.

Recommended Commands

python3 scripts/project_sections.py --project 1200000000000000 --env-file /path/to/.env.local
python3 scripts/project_sections.py --project 1200000000000000 --json
python3 scripts/project_sections.py --project 1200000000000000 --create "Example Section" --dry-run --json
python3 scripts/project_sections.py --project 1200000000000000 --create "Example Section" --json

Output Shape

• List text output: action=list count=<n>, then one line per section with its gid and name.
• Create text output: action=created (or action=dry_run) with the section gid and name.
• --json output: schema_version, fetched_at, and the action result (action, count, sections for list; action, gid, name for create).
• Failure categories are missing_token, not_found, permission_denied, rate_limited, and network.
