quickup sprint - Current Sprint Tasks

Auto-detects the current sprint list by searching for lists containing "sprint" or "iteration" in the name.

# List tasks from current sprint
quickup sprint --team <team_id>

# With filters
quickup sprint --team <team_id> --assignee jane --group-by priority

Options:

  • --team: Team ID
  • --space: Space ID
  • --project: Project ID
  • --assignee: Filter by assignee username
  • --priority: Filter by priority
  • --due-before: Filter tasks due before date
  • --group-by: Group by status, assignee, or priority
  • --closed: Include closed/done tasks
  • --no-cache: Bypass cache
  • -i, --interactive: Enable interactive mode

quickup task <task_id> - Task Details

Show detailed information about a specific task.

# Show task details
quickup task <task_id>

# With team specification
quickup task <task_id> --team <team_id>

Options:

  • task_id: ClickUp task ID
  • --team: Team ID (required if multiple teams exist)
  • -i, --interactive: Enable interactive mode

quickup update <task_id> - Update Task Status

Update the status of a specific task.

# Update task status
quickup update <task_id> --status "In Progress"

# With team specification
quickup update <task_id> --status "Done" --team <team_id>

Options:

  • task_id: ClickUp task ID
  • --status: New status name (e.g., "To Do", "In Progress", "Done")
  • --team: Team ID (required if multiple teams exist)
  • -i, --interactive: Enable interactive mode

Interactive Mode

When multiple teams, spaces, projects, or lists exist, use -i flag to enable interactive selection:

quickup -i

This will prompt you to select:

  1. Team (if multiple teams exist)
  2. Space (if multiple spaces exist)
  3. Project (if multiple projects exist)
  4. List (if multiple lists exist)

Output Format

Tasks are displayed with:

  • Bold task name
  • Blue underlined URL
  • Priority badge (color-coded)
  • Assignee names in parentheses

Status groups are displayed with color-coded headers matching the ClickUp status colors.

At the bottom of the output, a suggestion is shown in gray text with the command to repeat the same query:

Run again: quickup --assignee john --priority high --group-by priority

This makes it easy to re-run the same filtered/grouped view without typing the full command again.

Caching

QuickUp! uses disk-based caching to reduce API calls:

  • Teams: 24 hours TTL
  • Lists: 24 hours TTL
  • Tasks: 5 minutes TTL

Cache location: ~/.quickup/cache/

Use --no-cache to bypass cache and fetch fresh data from the API.

Exit Codes

Code Meaning
1 Token error or general ClickUp error
2 Team not found or ambiguous team
3 List not found
4 Network error
5 API error
99 Unexpected error
