# Create a task in a ClickUp list

Automatically create a task in a ClickUp list on app.clickup.com. Adds a task with the given name to a ClickUp list and confirms it afterwards, reporting the new task's identifier and link. A rehearsal mode fills the task in without submitting it, so the inputs can be checked before anything is created. This version sets the name only; description, priority, assignee and due date are left at the list's defaults.

## Run it

Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck over MCP (`https://mcp.reduck.ai/mcp`) to run `reduck/app.clickup.com/create_task`, or run it from a terminal:

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/app.clickup.com/create_task
```

## Input

- `name` (string, required): The task name.
- `listId` (string, required): Numeric ClickUp list id, as returned by the ClickUp list lookup.
- `dry_run` (boolean, optional): Rehearse without creating anything. The task form is opened and the name and description are filled in and read back, then the run stops on the step before the one that submits it, so nothing reaches the list.
- `description` (string, optional): Optional task description. Plain text; line breaks become separate paragraphs. Written as pasted text, so a leading slash stays literal instead of opening ClickUp's command menu.
- `workspaceId` (string, optional): Numeric ClickUp workspace id. Supplying it skips a lookup step; omit it to let ClickUp resolve the default workspace.
