Lark CLI Skill: Tasks — Todo & Project Management

What it is

Lark CLI Skill: Tasks is a command-line skill for the Lark/Feishu CLI that lets you create todos, track progress, manage subtasks, assign team members, and set reminders without leaving the terminal. It is part of the Lark CLI ecosystem with 200+ commands and 19 AI Agent Skills.

The skill targets developers and team leads who use Lark or Feishu for project management and want to interact with their task system programmatically or through AI agents.

How it saves time or tokens

Switching between the terminal and the Lark web interface to create or update tasks breaks flow. This skill keeps you in the terminal, where you can script task creation as part of CI/CD pipelines, post-deployment checklists, or daily standup routines. The structured output can be piped into other tools. The token estimate for this workflow is approximately 500 tokens.

How to use

1. Install the Lark CLI and tasks skill:

npm install -g @larksuite/cli

Common pitfalls

• Task permissions depend on your Lark app scopes; ensure the task read/write scopes are enabled in the Lark Open Platform console
• Subtask nesting depth is limited by the Lark API; deep hierarchies should be flattened into separate task lists
• Reminder delivery depends on the assignee's notification settings in Lark; verify notifications are not muted for task updates
