Press Release

  • Prefix: PR - {keyword}

  • time estimate: 1.5h
  • Headline tone trigger words: By default, the PR writer assumes the company already offers the capability (awareness tone). To get announcement-style headlines (Announces, Launches, Introduces), include one of these words in the task name or PR Topic:
    • Introduces -- company is introducing something new
    • New Product -- new product or service launch
    • Launch -- launching something new
    • Actual News -- explicit override for announcement tone

Chat Tool

The clickup_create_task tool provides the same capabilities via CheddahBot UI. Arbitrary custom fields are passed as JSON via custom_fields_json.

Dependencies and Due Dates

When a CREATE (NEW) task exists, LINKS and PR tasks that need the new page URL should be blocked by the CREATE task using --dependency. Their due date should be one week after the CREATE task's due date. For example, if CREATE is due 4/9, the LINKS and PR tasks should be due 4/16.

OPT tasks already have a URL, so LINKS paired with an OPT does not need a dependency -- just the +1 week due date offset.

Client Folder Lookup

Tasks are created in the "Overall" list inside the client's folder. Folder name is matched case-insensitively.
