🛡️ Best Practices & Safety

To avoid data pollution and duplicate tasks when working alongside manual users:

1. Search-Before-Act (Heuristic)

Always verify existence before creating new items:

• Tasks: Use list-tasks --search "Name" or the new --check-exists flag.
• Tags: The system automatically avoids duplicate tags.
• Subtasks: Check the parent task's subtasks before adding more.

2. Tiered Caching (Transparent)

The skill uses a local cache (.clickup_cache.json) to speed up operations:

• Discovery (Workspaces/Lists): Cached for 24 hours.
• Operations (Tasks/Tags): Cached for 2 hours.
• Management:
  • Use --bypass-cache to force a fresh fetch from ClickUp.
  • Use configure --clear-cache to reset all local data.

3. Decision Heuristics

• If an exact match is found: Use existing ID.
• If a partial match is found: Ask the USER for confirmation.
• If no match: Proceed with creation.
